Aditya Kaushal, CFE — CEO
I investigate fraud for a living. I build AI systems to do it better. As Deputy General Manager – Risk & Vigilance at Paytm Payment Services, I lead fraud investigations and compliance programs for one of India’s largest fintech companies. Right now, I’m designing AI-driven frameworks for investigations — bringing structure, speed, and auditability to how modern compliance teams work. 13 years before this: Big Four forensics (PwC, Deloitte, Protiviti), UnitedHealth Group, and 200+ investigations across 8 countries. Multimillion-dollar fraud schemes uncovered. Compliance centers built from scratch. Hundreds of employees trained on anti-corruption protocols. Forensic work spanning fintech, healthcare, BFSI, petrochemicals, and e-commerce. I’ve spent my career doing two things simultaneously — solving complex problems professionally, and navigating serious personal ones. Managing chronic health challenges taught me the same discipline I bring to investigations: break the problem down, assess risk with incomplete data, decide under pressure, execute without flinching. That’s not a soft skill. That’s a survival framework. The challenges never stopped. Neither did the learning. Today I’m deeply invested in AI — not as a trend to follow, but as a tool to master. Something new applied every day. What I bring to every engagement: Calm under pressure • Structured thinking in ambiguity • Teams that deliver on tight timelines • Actionable intelligence from incomplete data • Frameworks that outlast the investigation Core expertise: Fraud Investigations • FCPA/ABAC Compliance • Forensic Audits • AI in Investigations • Cross-Border Investigations • Third-Party Due Diligence • Evidence Management • Governance Frameworks Small-town roots. Jammu. Global impact.
