The work of detective agencies, which record an aggregate business revenue estimated at Rs. 1,200 crore annually, is becoming increasingly diverse. Though they continue to discharge their traditional functions – tracing missing persons, shadowing suspect spouses, investigating the histories of prospective business partners and post-marital cases for determining alimony – their corporate client portfolios are becoming incrementally important. Increasingly, private detectives are being engaged to investigate business fraud, keep an eye on employees, check prospective employees, track loan defaulters, verify the assets of prospective acquisitions, and ascertain the credibility of Indian companies with whom offshore multinationals are contemplating collaboration.
The qualities and aptitude required for success in this off-the-beaten track profession are a graduate degree, an eye for detail, common sense, the ability to grasp developments quickly, presence of mind, patience, and self-confidence. Having knowledge of languages, photography and driving are all additional skills of a good investigator.
