Sentinels Security

What Sentinels Security does

Sentinels Security Pvt. Ltd. is a New Delhi-based, family-owned physical security services provider founded in 1982 by the late Shri Amal Kanti Bose. The company employs over 10,000 personnel and delivers a broad portfolio of services including manned guarding, VIP/personal protection, ceremonial guarding, event security, consulting, and government-authorized training. Its core product is uniformed security personnel deployed across residential, commercial, industrial, retail, banking, healthcare, education, and IT/ITES facilities under multi-year customized contracts; services are sold via direct enterprise field sales with quote-based pricing and account-managed delivery.

Sentinels operates two proprietary technology platforms layered on top of its human services. WAVAI is the company's AI and Deep Learning-based video analytics arm, offering computer vision capabilities such as real-time threat detection, face recognition, and process automation for safety compliance. SENTINELS SKY COMMAND is a 24x7 central command center that integrates CCTV surveillance, mobile communications, and a strategically deployed Quick Reaction Team (QRT) for rapid emergency response. The company also supplies hardware including CCTV cameras, body-worn cameras, biometric access control, metal detectors, and X-ray baggage scanners.

The business model is a managed-services operation: revenue is generated primarily through multi-year contracts for guard deployment, supplemented by professional services (training, consulting, event security) and equipment sales. Sentinels serves 500+ enterprise customers across India, with notable names including Sony, Toyota, Honda, Kotak Mahindra, Accenture, JLL India, Colliers, Zomato, Blinkit, Haldiram, and Radisson Blu. Geographic operations span Delhi, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, and Rajasthan, with the Chittaranjan Park headquarters serving as the central operational hub. The Bose family retains ownership and senior leadership, with Partha Sarathi Bose as Managing Director and a next-generation leadership team actively championing technology-led service expansion.
