Is Law Still Worth It in India? Full Career Breakdown | Adv. Rohit Sharma

Описание: In this episode, Gaurav Garg speaks with Rohit Sharma, an advocate and edupreneur, to break down law as a career beyond courtrooms. The conversation addresses a key reality: India does not lack lawyers, but lacks skilled, practical, job-ready legal professionals. With over 20 lakh registered lawyers, the real gap lies between degrees and real-world legal skills. 

Adv. Rohit explains why law is often misunderstood as only litigation, why it is not seen as a “top career” like medicine or engineering, and how poor guidance, weak colleges, and low practical exposure create confusion and fear among students. He also shares how modern law careers are evolving with technology, policy work, corporate roles, and global opportunities.
