Geneva: Aditya Jain has been appointed by Athena Intelligence to spearhead its India expansion as the Geneva-based corporate investigations and risk advisory firm strengthens its presence in one of the world’s fastest-evolving corporate risk markets.
The appointment of Aditya Jain marks a strategic move as the firm responds to growing demand for cross-border intelligence and financial crime expertise.
Athena Intelligence’s India entry comes at a time when corporate risk in the country is intensifying rapidly. With more than 265 million cyberattacks recorded in 2025 and Indian organisations facing over 2,000 cyberattacks per week – significantly above global averages – the need for advanced investigative and risk mitigation services is rising.
India now accounts for 12.4% of global malware attacks, underlining the scale and international nature of threats confronting businesses.
Against this backdrop, Aditya Jain will lead Athena Intelligence’s efforts to support Indian corporates, financial institutions, law firms, and High Net Worth Individuals dealing with increasingly complex, cross-border risks.
The firm specialises in multi-jurisdictional investigations and aims to bring global expertise to the Indian market under the leadership of Aditya Jain.

Aditya Jain’s Role and Expertise
Aditya Jain, Associate Partner at Athena Intelligence India, brings extensive experience in strategic intelligence, cyber risk, and technology advisory.
His background spans corporate investigations and AI-driven risk engagements across South Asia and international markets. As Founder & CEO of a Geneva-based narrative intelligence platform, Aditya Jain combines global exposure with deep institutional understanding.
Aditya Jain said: “India is at a tipping point when it comes to corporate risk. The threats are increasingly international – cross-border fraud, reputational attacks, cyber intrusions – and they require an international response. Athena Intelligence brings exactly that capability, and I am committed to making it accessible to Indian businesses, institutions, and individuals who deserve world-class protection.”
Athena Intelligence: Strong Advisory Backing
The India expansion led by Aditya Jain is supported by senior advisors from India’s defence and law enforcement ecosystem, reinforcing Athena Intelligence’s strategic positioning.
Colonel Shashank Kaushal, Indian Army (Retd.), joins as Senior Advisor. A decorated officer with a distinguished career in strategic operations and national security, he has served as a military adviser at the highest levels.
Colonel Kaushal will advise Aditya Jain and Athena Intelligence on security-related investigations while facilitating senior-level access within India’s defence and intelligence networks.
Dr. Rajendar Pal Singh, former Director General of the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) and Special Investigation Team (SIT) in Uttar Pradesh (2018–2021), and former Deputy Director General at the Narcotics Control Bureau (2013–2018), has been appointed Strategic Advisor to Aditya Jain.
He brings extensive expertise in economic crime, anti-corruption, and narcotics investigations, offering deep institutional insight across India’s regulatory and enforcement landscape.
Jonas Rey, CEO of Athena Intelligence, said: “Aditya Jain is the right person to represent Athena Intelligence in India. His investigative expertise, cyber and technology background, and deep institutional relationships make him uniquely equipped to build what we believe will become India’s most credible cross-border investigations practice. Athena Intelligence is proud to plant its flag in India with Aditya leading the charge.”
Service Portfolio for India
Under the leadership of Aditya Jain, Athena Intelligence will offer a comprehensive suite of services in India, including due diligence, anti-money laundering investigations, corporate intelligence, cyber risk advisory, and cross-border asset tracing.
The firm’s India push reflects its intent to address the rising complexity of financial crime and corporate risk in an increasingly interconnected global environment, with Aditya Jain at the forefront of this strategic expansion.
