Case: Company planning to set up a factory for consumer durable products in one of the Indian villages
Methodology: IICPL’s team of researchers conducted field research and location risk assessment of the identified location for the same. Checks were done to understand all kinds of risks that might pose impact to the business operations. This included understanding the local scenario and demographic profile of the area, crime statistics from local police, availability of local labors, profile of local NGOs available, traffic conditions, connectivity of the village to understand the nearest rail track, seaport and airport, supply chain risks, emergency services, local community issues, regulatory conditions, HSE analysis etc.
Risk Identification: Field intelligence was conducted to ascertain the risks associated with the location and it was found that the area has low availability of talent pool and they would not allow all labours from outside without their employment. Hence, it was suggested that the company need to quickly setup training center for the locals and start training them so that they get acquainted with the process soon and they don’t create bottleneck for outside employment. We involved some local NGOs also to pacify the situation with the locals. Further, local travel was a risk as the conditions of road was very bad and crime data indicates road rage, petty crimes after sun set. Hence, company need to set up a security supported movement of employees in case there is delay in moving out from office. No major risk was identified but developed the risk parameters and tabulated them in a way which can easily demonstrate the risk patterns. We provided details of all emergency services located nearby such as nearby hospitals, police station, fire station etc.

Real Estate Sector
Case: A large Private Equity firm was investing in a real estate company in India.
Methodology: Our due diligence team carried out intensive search including registration checks, database checks, litigation history and reputational intelligence. Primary source enquiries were made to ascertain the reputation of the subject entity and its key principals. Another key aspect of the due diligence exercise was to divulge the current hidden sources of investment into the subject entity. Researchers got in touch with industry KOLs, brokers, former employees and close associates of the subject entity.
Risks Identification: Comprehensive due diligence efforts revealed that the subject entity was getting a major chunk of its investment from a group of people highly connected with the political parties in India. It further unveiled close affiliations of the key principals with the local state government leaders. Thus there was a potential risk of not getting new land acquisition approvals, projects getting stalled, in case of a changed political scenario.
Oil & Gas Sector
Case: A major oil field equipment manufacturer was selecting their Indian representative partner to represent them in India.
Methodology: IICPL’s team of researchers conducted due diligence and exhaustive reputational intelligence exercise to track down the subject entity’s and its key principal’s market standing and major operations. India’s oil and gas PSUs and private oil players were contacted. Former employees of the subject company were contacted to understand the work practices and the level of compliance to international business ethics.
Risk Identification: Discreet market intelligence enquiries revealed that the subject entity has been representing a leading drilling oilfield components manufacturer in India, since last many years. During the course of time, the subject entity’s key principal has developed close relations with key decision makers of India’s leading oil and gas public sector companies. The due diligence investigation further revealed that monetary benefits were being provided by the key principal, to key people senior level positions, in order to secure big tenders. This accounted to FCPA violations and thus a potential business risk.
