Employee verification and competitor intelligence for companies and banks in Mumbai, Navi Mumbai and across India.
Pre & Post Employee Verification
Before you hire a new employee or appoint a senior leader, our pre-employment verification checks identity, address, education, previous employers and references. Post-employment checks confirm that staff already on the payroll are who they said they were.
Competitor Investigation
In business, information is power. Our competitor investigation builds an in-depth picture of a company's background and current business practices, including its financial data, assets, management and market reputation, using lawful sources.
Whether you face a strong rival or are entering a new market in Mumbai or elsewhere in India, it pays to stay one step ahead. Metro India Detective gives you the facts you need to decide.

Corporate Investigations
Corporate / IndustrialEspionage
Metro India Detective investigates corporate and industrial espionage for companies in Mumbai, Navi Mumbai and across India. Threats come from outside, such as conspiracies against your business or the loss of company assets, and from inside, such as data theft or drug use on company premises that can harm your reputation. We bring these activities to light so you can act against those responsible.
Internal Threats
Asset Protection
Competitive Intelligence
We also track competitors' mergers, takeovers, expansion plans and territories, so your organisation is never caught off guard, and we review your security arrangements to close the gaps that leaks come through.
Our investigators work across India and can gather information from almost any part of the country. We identify employees acting against your interests, uncover corporate fraud and theft, and give you accurate, evidence-based findings.
Solid evidence is the first requirement of any successful litigation, and much of it can only be found through a discreet undercover operation. Our investigators work covertly inside workplaces, markets and supply chains in Mumbai and across India, using covert surveillance equipment and, where a case needs it, carefully planned sting operations.

FinancialFraudVerification
Financial fraud takes many forms in Indian companies: embezzlement, fund misappropriation, fake invoices and vendor fraud, insurance claim fraud and loan fraud. It causes serious financial loss and can do lasting damage to a company's reputation.
Our financial fraud verification traces where the money went, who was involved and how it was hidden. Banks and corporate houses in Mumbai and Navi Mumbai use our findings to recover losses, take disciplinary or legal action and close the gaps that allowed the fraud.
Call us for a free, confidential consultation before you confront anyone, so the evidence stays intact.
Before you sign with a new partner, distributor, vendor or franchisee, our business verification confirms that the company exists where it says it does, who owns and runs it, how long it has traded and what its market reputation is. For individuals, background verification covers identity, address, employment history and conduct. It costs little compared with the loss from one bad deal.
Employee cheating costs companies dearly, often because no one can prove it. Forgery, embezzlement, fund misappropriation, theft and pilferage, commissions taken from vendors for substandard goods, raw material bought at "adjusted rates", a side business run on company time, or information leaked to a rival: most of it goes unnoticed until the damage is done.
IT and software firms, sales teams and purchase departments are hit hardest. We regularly take cases from Mumbai companies where confidential data has been passed to a competitor or prices have been twisted for personal gain.
Our cheating employee investigation is simple and thorough: discreet enquiries, surveillance and lawful evidence gathering, so you can act against the person responsible with facts, not suspicion.
A due diligence investigation goes further than a background check. It builds a dossier on a company or the people behind it, so you know every relevant fact before an important business decision.
Companies in Mumbai and Navi Mumbai use our corporate due diligence before a joint venture, merger, acquisition or strategic alliance, to check the other side's strengths, goodwill, financial standing and promoters. It is just as useful before buying property, to confirm ownership, title status and any claims against it.
Because due diligence depends on the range and depth of information, we carry it out with precision and report only what we can verify.
