New Delhi – In today’s hyper-competitive business landscape, the threat doesn’t always come from the outside. Sometimes, the enemy is right within your office walls. A recent case cracked by a detective agency in Delhi—City Intelligence Pvt. Ltd.—shows how critical corporate investigation can be in protecting a business from internal collapse.
The Setup: When Growth Started Turning into Losses
In late 2023, a mid-sized tech manufacturing firm in Noida noticed an alarming pattern—their newest product prototypes were being leaked months before official launch. Competitors, some with far less R&D capacity, were somehow rolling out nearly identical models ahead of time.
The leadership assumed it was a cybersecurity issue. Their IT team ran multiple audits but found no data breach. And yet, every confidential meeting and internal discussion was finding its way into the market.
That’s when the company decided to bring in external experts — not hackers, but professional investigators.
Enter City Intelligence: Delhi’s Trusted Detective Agency
With over two decades of investigative excellence, City Intelligence Pvt. Ltd. is one of the most reputed names in the field of corporate investigations. Led by founder Rajeev Kumar, the agency specializes in corporate detective services like employee surveillance, internal threat detection, competitor intelligence, and technical surveillance counter-measures (TSCM).
“Our job was to find the leak — person, method, and motive — without alerting any employee,” Rajeev explained.
Mr. Rajeev Kumar, Director of City Intelligence Pvt. Ltd., was acknowledged as one of the Best Private Investigators in India by the Association of Professional Detectives & Investigators (APDI) in 2019. This prestigious honor highlights his relentless dedication to ethical investigation, client confidentiality, and accurate results.
The Investigation: Eyes, Ears & Digital Trails
The City Intelligence team launched a discreet multi-layered operation:
- Employee background screening (especially of those in R&D and business strategy)
- Surveillance operations on key staff suspected of unauthorized meetings
- TSCM sweeps (bug detection) in meeting rooms and senior executives’ cabins
- Digital footprint analysis — USB device tracking, unauthorized print logs, suspicious file transfers What they found shocked the client.
One of the assistant product managers — a newly hired employee with no red flags in his resume — was covertly working for a rival firm. He had installed a hidden listening device in the conference room, used a personal phone to photograph prototype designs, and was regularly meeting an executive from a competing company at a popular Gurgaon café.
The Fallout: A Business Nearly Compromised
The stolen data had already led to losses in the range of ₹3 crore in potential contracts and market share.
But thanks to timely intervention, the client was able to take swift legal action, terminate the employee, and alert industry watchdogs about unfair practices. They also overhauled their data access and employee monitoring systems, guided by the team at City Intelligence.
Why Corporate Detectives Matter in 2025
In an era where intellectual property, trade secrets, and product strategies are goldmines, businesses can no longer afford to depend solely on internal audits.
“We’re not just solving cases, we’re protecting livelihoods and ensuring fair play,” says Rajeev.
“Corporate espionage is real—and corporate detective services are no longer optional, but essential.”
From tech startups to MNCs, the demand for trusted investigative services in India has grown steadily over the past five years.
Key Takeaways for Startups & Enterprises:
- Always run background checks for critical roles, even for campus hires.
- Install access control and digital monitoring systems for sensitive areas.
- Don’t underestimate the power of non-digital espionage — audio bugs, hidden cameras, insider leaks.
- Build long-term partnerships with reliable investigation agencies like City Intelligence Pvt. Ltd.
