Someone inside is stealing. Who, and can you prove it?

NARADism is not a law firm. Where privilege matters, we ask to be instructed by external counsel and work as counsel's agent: counsel owns the legal strategy and the privilege; we execute the investigation. Each matter is staffed from day one with a forensic accountant, a digital-forensics specialist and a legally trained investigator, so that evidence is preserved defensibly, analysed properly and reported to the evidential standard.

• Whistle-blower complaints to the Audit Committee or a parent hotline
• Auditor flags under CARO / SA 240 and s.143(12) reporting risk
• Regulator notices (SEBI, RBI, ED, SFIO) needing a factual response
• Procurement, channel and expense fraud
• Related-party leakage
• Data theft

Indian enforcement is now faster, more coordinated and more personal. The Enforcement Directorate, CBI, SFIO, CCI, DRI/DGGI and SEBI increasingly arrive unannounced, often in parallel, and the exposure frequently attaches to individual officers, not just the balance sheet. How an organisation behaves in the first 72 hours of an unannounced regulatory visit, a search and seizure or an enforcement action is the one variable it still controls. We build that readiness through a documented crisis protocol and role-specific preparation, and we work alongside counsel when the protocol is activated, so that the organisation is cooperative with the authorities, protective of privilege and incapable of accidentally obstructing.

• Who verifies the warrant and its scope, and who notifies counsel?
• How quickly can counsel, forensic and PR support reach each site?
• What may staff say to officials, and what must they never do?
• How is privileged material identified and protected before seizure?
• Who shadows and logs every document, device and question taken?
• What do the Board, auditors, lenders and disclosure rules require in the days after?

Most white-collar evidence today is digital, contested and easy to lose. Our in-house digital-forensics practice preserves it defensibly, recovers what others cannot, and turns terabytes of devices, mailboxes and logs into an evidence trail that stands up before regulators and courts. It is the engine under every investigation and crisis response we run, and structured document review runs on our AI-native eDiscovery platform, with certificates under Section 63 of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam.

• Who did what, and when, from metadata, system and access logs
• Whether files were wiped, backdated or tampered with, and by whom
• Where the real conversation lived: WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram and ephemeral messaging
• What the ERP, core banking system and ledgers say about money flows across entities, devices and people
• Which documents matter, and which are privileged, across large mailboxes and shared drives
• Whether a disputed agreement, invoice or board minute was altered or created after the fact

Fraud, mispricing and hidden risk rarely show up in the numbers first. They show up in behaviour, relationships and reputation, visible only to someone who knows how to look. Market Intelligence answers the questions your databases, auditors and teams cannot: what the market really charges, who your counterparties really are, and whether the pricing you accept is the product of competition or of collusion.

• Are we being fairly priced by our vendors?
• Is this partner what they claim to be?
• What is the real market rate, capacity and reputation?
• Is there collusion, bid-rigging or a cartel at play?
• Who are the credible alternatives we are not seeing?

A complete picture of an entity or individual, built entirely from open, lawful sources. We reconstruct corporate structures, trace beneficial owners, screen every connected entity and person against litigation, regulatory and adverse-media databases, and map the relationships a counterparty has never disclosed.

• Corporate structure and beneficial ownership
• Litigation, regulatory and enforcement history
• Adverse and negative media exposure
• Political exposure (PEP) and sanctions hits
• Digital footprint and undisclosed connections
• Lifestyle, spending and asset indicators

Finding what has been hidden, moved or disguised, and building the trail to recover it. We go well beyond declared holdings: mining corporate registries, property records and financial trails, mapping the subject's spouse, relatives, nominees and associated entities, and confirming occupancy and control on the ground, so that lenders, resolution professionals and counsel have the evidentiary basis to seek attachment and enforce.

• Real estate, land and property holdings
• Bank and financial accounts
• Corporate shareholdings and directorships
• Nominee, benami and family-held structures
• Movable, luxury and lifestyle assets
• Cross-border and offshore holdings

Locating people who do not want to be found, and confirming it on the ground. When registered addresses lead nowhere and phone numbers stop working, we map the individual's known associates and family, trace utility, property and digital footprints, cross-reference financial and travel touchpoints, and send trained field investigators to verify the location discreetly, so that counsel can finally effect proper service of process.

• Absconding borrowers and loan guarantors
• Fraudsters and absconding accused persons
• Missing counterparties and witnesses
• Untraceable directors and promoters
• Beneficiaries behind nominee identities
