AIC GIM Foundation, supported by Atal Innovation Mission, NITI Aayog, in association with smartContract CLM, has announced the launch of the Certified Contract Intelligence Professional (CCIP) workshop, a practical certification program designed to help startups and business professionals strengthen contract management capabilities through Artificial Intelligence and contract intelligence.
As organizations increasingly rely on contracts to manage customer relationships, vendor partnerships, compliance obligations, and investment activities, effective contract management has become a critical business capability. At the same time, Artificial Intelligence is transforming the way contracts are drafted, reviewed, analyzed, and managed.
The CCIP workshop has been designed to help participants understand these changes and build practical skills that can be applied immediately within their organizations.
Who Should Attend?
The workshop is designed for:
- Startup founders approaching a funding round
- Co founders and business heads managing customer and vendor contracts
- Early stage teams building commercial relationships
- Operations and finance professionals with contract responsibilities
- Legal and compliance professionals in startups and SMEs
- Incubation managers and ecosystem professionals
- Government and institutional professionals managing agreements and program contracts
Whether you are preparing for fundraising, managing vendor relationships, ensuring compliance, or scaling operations, the workshop provides practical guidance on managing contracts more effectively.
What Participants Will Learn
Delivered through three live online sessions, the workshop combines practical learning with real world demonstrations of AI powered contract management workflows.
Participants will learn how to:
- ✔ Understand the fundamentals of AI powered contract intelligence
- ✔ Identify contract risks before they become business risks

Why Contract Intelligence Matters
Contracts are more than legal documents. They contain business commitments, commercial obligations, compliance requirements, and operational responsibilities that directly impact organizational performance.
Poor contract visibility can lead to missed renewals, overlooked obligations, compliance risks, delayed business decisions, and challenges during fundraising or due diligence exercises.
By adopting structured contract management practices and leveraging AI powered technologies, organizations can:
- Reduce operational and compliance risks
- Improve visibility into contractual commitments
- Strengthen governance and business processes
- Prepare for fundraising and due diligence with confidence
- Improve collaboration across business, operations, finance, and legal teams
- Make faster and more informed business decisions
In today’s business environment, contract intelligence is no longer just a legal capability. It is a business capability.
