An IMGW News Report
Established in 1965, Globe Detective Agency (GDA) has quietly become one of the subcontinent’s most enduring and respected private intelligence and risk consultancies. Marking its 60th anniversary this year, the firm reflects not just longevity, but a rare consistency in delivering clarity amid opacity.
What began as a domestic investigations outfit founded by Prem Kumar is now a multinational operation spanning 18 Indian cities and a network of global partners. Under the stewardship of Sachit Kumar – an MBA from Strathclyde and the founder’s son – GDA has broadened its capabilities into enhanced due diligence, asset tracing, corporate intelligence, cyber investigations, and security services.
Its record is robust: over 20,000 cross-border cases completed, 8,000+ Citizenship by Investment (CBI) applicants screened, and due diligence support provided to governments and private firms alike. But the numbers tell only part of the story.
GDA’s reputation lies in its methodological thoroughness. Its multi-layered approach – merging OSINT, HUMINT, legal analysis, and on-site validation – delivers not only facts but insight. Whether dissecting political affiliations, scrutinising source-of-funds declarations, or mapping reputational risk, its findings have often been the deciding factor for investors, corporations, and state bodies making high-stakes decisions.
In recent years, its role in vetting candidates for CBI and RBI schemes has gained prominence. With geopolitical scrutiny intensifying and anti-money laundering regulations tightening across Europe and beyond, GDA’s enhanced due diligence has become a linchpin for programme credibility.
This emphasis on ethical, confidential, and forensic-grade intelligence has earned the firm the trust of regulators and global institutions. Notably, its work remains discreet: GDA’s value lies not in headlines but in what never makes them.
As it enters its seventh decade, GDA is expanding into digital forensics and deepening its cybersecurity offering. Yet the ethos remains unchanged. In an age of information abundance and growing mistrust, GDA stands as a rare constant—discreet, rigorous, and indispensable.
