She was pioneer in setting up Legal Process Outsourcing in the year 2007-2008 when outsourcing was at a nascent stage. Under her leadership, background legal support to USA based legal firms was provided up until outsourcing laws changed in the USA. She also partnered with a Canadian Law firm for filing immigration applications for Canada. However, this venture had to be given back feet because of immense success and the need of her bandwidth to be used for NRI Legal Services which was propelled for meteoric success. She has three children and all of them are being trained under her able guidance for entering the legal profession. Besides her core profession, Nidhi is a passionate vegan and campaigns and espouses for holistic lifestyle.
