Netrika

What Netrika does

Netrika Consulting India Pvt. Ltd. is a privately held professional risk and integrity management firm founded in 2013 and headquartered in Gurugram, India, with additional offices in New Delhi, Dubai (UAE), and Singapore. The company delivers eight core service lines — Background Checks, Brand Protection, Digital Forensic and Incident Response (DFIR), Due Diligence, Forensic Investigations, Information Security, Security & Risk Consulting, and Training & Certifications — to enterprise and mid-market clients across 30+ industries, with stated operational reach across 50+ countries.

The firm's offerings are predominantly professional services delivered by certified specialists (CFE, CATS, CCPS, CFAP, ICPS), supported by AI-assisted database searches and automated monitoring for due diligence workflows. Netrika monetises through consultative, project-based engagements priced per scope, supplemented by an independent Training and Certifications portal (training.netrika.com) that delivers credentialed programs (CFE, CIA, CAMS, RIMS-CRMP, POSH). Technology is operational tooling rather than a proprietary platform: the company is ISO 27001:2013 certified and CERT-In empanelled, which serve as procurement gates for regulated and government work.

The business is bootstrapped with no disclosed external institutional funding and is led by Managing Director Sanjay Kaushik alongside co-founders Aashish Taneja and Dhruv Maingi. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales with consultative engagement by senior experts, supported by content marketing (whitepapers, surveys, casebooks, blog) and earned media across Indian business press. Customer concentration is dispersed across financial services, manufacturing/FMCG, pharmaceuticals, IT, real estate, and energy, with named logos including TCS, ARAI, and Fortum India.
