Early Career & Growth
Imran began his journey in the investigative field more than a decade ago, driven by a keen sense of justice and curiosity. In the early phases of his career, he handled foundational casework — matrimonial verifications, missing person searches, and character vetting. These assignments helped him understand the complexities of interpersonal relationships, legal procedures, and ethical boundaries in detective work.
Over time, as information technologies advanced and client demands evolved, Imran realized that detective work could not remain static. He invested in training, building a team, and incorporating digital tools and open-source intelligence (OSINT). Under his stewardship, the agency expanded its reach across India and developed partnerships that allow handling of far-flung cases, including international ones, through trusted networks.
Philosophy & Approach
At the core of Imran’s leadership is a philosophy of meticulousness. He believes every detail — however small — matters, and that robust cross-verification is essential. His guiding principle is to “Check, Re-check & Counter-check,” meaning no claim is accepted without corroboration. Confidentiality is non-negotiable for him; mutual trust between client and agency is what he sees as foundational to any successful investigation.
Imran is also strongly ethical. He ensures that every case handled by his agency conforms to legal statutes, respects privacy, and avoids overreach. Under his oversight, operations are planned carefully, risk is assessed, and evidence gathered is documented so that it’s admissible if required in legal proceedings.
Achievements & Reputation
Under Imran’s leadership, the agency has grown significantly in case volume and technical capability. According to recent trends, the business has seen almost a doubling of demand since 2017, particularly in pre-matrimonial background checks and digital footprint verifications. Imran attributes this growth not just to societal changes but also to the agency’s ability to adapt — using surveillance, cyber investigations, and document and forensic analysis.
His reputation in Kolkata and beyond is of a dependable, client-focused investigator who combines traditional detective instincts with up-to-date methods. Colleagues and clients alike respect him for transparency in process, clarity in communication, and delivering results with professionalism.
