What we do

High‑risk investigations

Independent, structured investigations into misconduct, bullying, sexual harassment, and PoSH/GRC incidents.

Every inquiry is run with a rigorous interview and evidence framework, and documented to withstand tribunal scrutiny, appellate challenge, and board review. You get findings you can stand on.

Internal capability building

IC members, HR teams, and legal committees trained in structured investigative methodology - interview technique, evidence standards, defensible process, and psychosocial safety.

We build the internal capability India’s workplaces urgently need to handle conduct issues with confidence and consistency.

Restoration & prevention

Once findings are established, we work with leadership to restore functioning relationships and reduce recurrence.

Our interventions include mediation, dialogue facilitation, team resets, and targeted coaching - rebuilding trust, clarity, and psychological safety after disruption.

Organisational resilience

System diagnostics that identify where your organisation is exposed - gaps in process, policy, culture, and capability that create risk before an incident occurs.

We turn investigative insight into structural improvements that strengthen your organisation long‑term.

Association of Workplace Investigators (AWI)- Gold standard investigation practices  

The Association of Workplace Investigators Certificate (AWI-CH) is the internationally recognised gold standard for workplace investigation. As one of the very few AWI credentialed practitioners in Asia, and the first to bring this credential to India, Sreevidya Varma leads every engagement to a standard most organisations in the region have never had access to.

Your investigation is grounded in global best practice, not local improvisation.

Structured methodology

Every inquiry is run with a rigorous, documented interview and evidence framework. No shortcuts, no ad-hoc sequencing, no “we’ll see how it goes”.

Our methodology ensures consistency, fairness, and traceability - and gives your organisation confidence that the process will hold up under scrutiny.

Psychosocial safety

Investigations are high-stakes moments for everyone involved. We interview complainants, respondents, and witnesses using trauma-aware, culturally intelligent practice that protects wellbeing and reduces harm.

We actively manage retaliation risk, power dynamics, and psychological safety throughout the process - because how an investigation is conducted matters as much as what it finds.

Defensible findings

Our reports are built to withstand tribunal scrutiny, appellate challenge, and board-level review.

We don’t just deliver findings - we deliver findings that stand.

Every conclusion is tied to evidence, every inference is documented, and every step of the process is transparent.

True independence

Based in New Zealand and serving India virtually, we bring independence that is real, not symbolic.

No local entanglements. No conflicts of interest. No pressure from internal politics or proximity.

You get an investigation free from influence, bias, or organisational blind spots.

System-level insights

An incident is rarely just an incident - it’s a signal.

We help organisations understand what their findings reveal about culture, systems, leadership, and risk.

Beyond the investigation, we work with you to build capability, strengthen processes, and prevent recurrence. The goal isn’t just resolution - it’s resilience

We partner with multinational corporations on complex, high‑stakes investigations and prevention initiatives.

We also support small and medium businesses that rely on independent expertise, rapid response, and absolute discretion.

Not every situation calls for the same approach.

We work in three ways and you will know which one fits.

Independent Investigations

You need complete separation from the process.

We lead the investigation end to end: scoping, interviews, findings, report.

No internal involvement in the inquiry itself.

Best for: serious misconduct, sexual harassment, PoSH and GRC incidents where independence is non‑negotiable.

Side by side

Your HR or legal team handles parts of the process we handle the rest.

Pre‑investigation scoping, interview conduct, or post‑investigation reporting; wherever independence and rigour matter most.

Best for: organisations with internal capacity that needs strengthening, not replacing.

Behind the scenes

Your team conducts the inquiry.

We guide, quality‑assure, and ensure your process and documentation meet the standard.

You stay in control and we make sure it holds up.

Best for: building internal confidence and capability while maintaining oversight.
