South Asia Intelligence & Risk Advisory
Intelligence and risk advisory for organizations operating in, investing in, or entering South Asian markets. Grounded in senior operational leadership across the region and decades of direct experience navigating its complex business and security environments.
South Asia presents enormous opportunity alongside significant opacity. Effective risk advisory in the region requires more than database research — it demands first-hand understanding of how business is actually conducted, where regulatory enforcement is inconsistent, and where political connections determine outcomes.
Proven Regional Authority
South Asia's business environments are among the most complex and opaque globally. Regulatory frameworks shift, enforcement is inconsistent, and the informal dynamics that determine outcomes are invisible to conventional due diligence.
Our founder held senior operational leadership roles across South Asia with the CIA's Directorate of Operations and served with the U.S. Department of State in the region — experience that provides the networks, cultural fluency, and institutional knowledge essential for effective intelligence and risk advisory in these markets.
