Harsha Prabhakar dismantles the fear surrounding the law in India through impactful personal anecdotes. He shares pivotal moments where knowing his rights made all the difference—from overcoming academic obstacles to navigating a critical accident.

Through relatable examples like traffic fines and service charges, Harsha makes the law accessible, urging the audience to exercise their rights for a fairer society. Harsha Prabhakar is a legal professional, educator, and founder of Coffee with Counsel, a podcast dedicated to simplifying complex legal concepts for the public.
