Niyam is the canonical knowledge graph of Indian regulatory obligations — built by AI, verified by code, available to everyone. Not a SaaS. Infrastructure.
In India, regulatory obligations live in scanned gazettes, state government portals, ministry PDFs, and legal databases that don't talk to each other. Every company — from a five-person fintech to a 5,000-person manufacturer — rebuilds the same map from scratch. The same obligations are interpreted differently. The same changes are discovered too late. The same work is done 10 million times.
Obligations live in 3,700+ government sites. No central index. No machine-readable source.
~9,000 regulatory changes a year. Most businesses discover them after a missed deadline.
40% of obligations carry jail risk. Non-compliance is not a fine — it's criminal.
Niyam's CKG is a single, shared, deduplicated, versioned map of every regulatory obligation in India. Built once. Maintained continuously. Available to everyone. Like how ONDC did for e-commerce — infrastructure, not another app.
Expand state-by-state, sector-by-sector. When any user triggers expansion into a new state, it's done once and benefits every user on the graph. No duplication. No re-work.
Modules for fintech, pharma, manufacturing, labour law — add verticals on demand. The graph grows structurally, not by adding disconnected databases.
A standing AI discovery loop watches every relevant government site, gazette, and regulatory listing page — and proposes changes to the graph automatically.
Every change to the CKG is versioned, timestamped, and reproducible. When an obligation changes, we show you exactly what changed, when, and why — with a citation.
Niyam keeps the public record of what the law says separate from the private record of what this organisation must do. Clean separation. Different trust models.
The shared source of truth for all Indian regulatory obligations. Every entry is AI-proposed, code-verified, and versioned. Accessible to every business, CA, and legal team in India.
A company's encrypted, private compliance workspace. Structure, entities, proofs, and obligations mapped to the CKG. Your data stays yours — end-to-end encrypted, never shared.
The CKG is maintained by a self-extending pipeline where AI handles the reading and adaptive reasoning — but deterministic code sits at every gate. Validation, deduplication, versioning, and commit are always reproducible. No black-box updates. No AI hallucinations in the graph.
Standing AI loop scans 3,700+ government sites, gazettes, and regulatory listing pages — automatically, continuously.
AI reads the source, extracts obligations, identifies relationships, and proposes graph entries with confidence scores and citations.
Deterministic code gates validate the proposal: deduplication check, schema compliance, jurisdiction mapping, jail-risk classification.
Verified entries are versioned and committed to the CKG with full audit trail. Available immediately. Triggering Change Intelligence notifications.
Niyam exists so that every company — from a two-person startup to a 50,000-employee conglomerate — can know exactly what the law requires of them. When it changes. What to do. By when. With a citation.
The map is being built. The network effect grows with every user. One state at a time. One sector at a time. One obligation at a time — until the whole country has a shared, canonical view of its own law.
