Globe Detective Agency
Sponsor
In the world of intelligence and investigation, few names carry the weight and respect of Globe Detective Agency. Since 1965, GDA has built a legacy of vision, integrity, and a relentless commitment to finding the truth.
How It Started
When Capt. Prem Kumar left his engineering studies in the U.S. to explore the then-unknown field of private investigation; he wasn’t just switching careers—he was setting a new standard for India. Trained in both the U.S. and U.K., he chose to come back home despite family resistance, showing remarkable foresight and commitment.
The shift from “International Detective Agency” in 1961 to “Globe Detective Agency” in 1965 wasn’t just a rebranding. It marked the true beginning of professional private investigation in India. From a one-man operation, GDA grew into a trusted institution spanning continents and generations.
A Family Tradition of Excellence
The Kumar family’s dedication runs through every part of GDA’s journey. From Vivek Kumar stepping in at just 15 to uphold the family’s legacy, to Managing Director Sachit Kumar guiding GDA’s national and international growth with strategic vision, Puneet Kumar streamlining internal processes, Gautam Kumar strengthening investigative operations, and Priyanshi Kumar leading innovation and technology—the family has built on Capt. Prem Kumar’s vision at every step.
Today, GDA operates 18 offices across India and manages investigations worldwide, strengthening not just its reach but its reputation for excellence. Its growing global footprint serves a diverse range of clients, including multinational corporations, law firms, financial institutions, private equity firms, hedge funds, alternative investment groups, and governments.
Always Ahead of the Curve
GDA stands out not just for its longevity, but for how it has evolved with the times. The launch of Globe Electronics in the 1980s marked an early bet on technology’s role in security. Today, GDA offers a broad range of services—from private investigations and due diligence to integrated electronic security and physical protection—delivered with the precision that comes from over six decades of field experience.
Earning Global Respect
GDA’s leadership isn’t just recognized — it’s respected worldwide. Sachit Kumar’s unprecedented four terms as President of the Council of International Investigators, paired with Gautam Kumar’s rise as the youngest CII President in 2024, highlight the trust global institutions place in GDA. That trust is echoed in accolades: Sachit Kumar received the “Lifetime Achievement Award in Investigation” from the President of India for his contributions to the industry, and the “Meritorious Service Award” for his outstanding service to the CII — further cementing GDA’s reputation as the gold standard in the industry.
Innovating with Integrity
In 2017, GDA expanded into specialized Due Diligence for Citizenship by Investment programs, even operating in challenging jurisdictions. Through Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD), Know Your Customer (KYC) services, as well as continuous monitoring, GDA ensures not just compliance, but integrity, helping protect the credibility of international citizenship programs.
People First, Always
Behind GDA’s numbers- a team of 3500 and countless successful cases—is a deep commitment to people, from Capt. Prem Kumar’s sharp instincts in solving the famous “Patiala Child Murder Case” to today’s client-first approach, GDA has never lost sight of the human side of investigation.
The legacy of respect, empathy, and trust, championed by the late Vivek Kumar, remains a core part of GDA’s culture today.
The Diamond Jubilee: Looking Ahead
As GDA marks 60 years, it’s not resting on legacy. With the next generation—led by Gautam and Priyanshi—steering its future, the agency continues to grow while staying true to the values that built its foundation.
In a world where information is power and trust is rare, GDA’s history is more than a milestone—it’s a promise. A promise that when it comes to finding the truth, some institutions never waver.
If you’re looking for more than information—if you need real insight and real security—GDA is ready.
