Corporate Intelligence Services
Globalisation offers new opportunities in the form of new markets. However, in order to navigate successfully in these unchartered territories, companies need to make informed decisions. Companies need intelligence (not information) that is credible, relevant and timely.
Companies need intelligence, not just information.
PwC’s Corporate Intelligence services in India assist clients in identifying information and intelligence that enables them to make informed decisions before entering new or unknown markets. Corporate intelligence is conducted to identify risks associated with third- party business agents, proposed M&A targets, new employees and other potential targets. It evaluates the background, integrity, reputation and performance track record of an individual, a management group or corporate entity by collecting and analysing information that is available in the public domain, subscribed databases and market sources.

Intelligence on third parties when you need it.
Companies need to be aware of the risks of doing business in new markets or the risks they assume by associating themselves with third parties. With corporate intelligence, companies will have the tools they need to mitigate such risks and protect their interests and reputation while being accountable to stakeholders for growth, transparency and moral conduct.
