Public records should not require this much patience

India’s corporate registry is genuinely open. Anyone can pay a small fee and read what a company has filed: its incorporation documents, its board changes, the charges over its assets, its annual returns. That makes it one of the most useful public records in the country.

In practice, getting a complete set for one company means eight separate passes through a portal, repeated CAPTCHAs, an encoded archive at the end of it, and a seven-day window before paid access lapses. Doing this by hand takes time, and a summary still leaves you without the document it came from.

We built Entiva because we needed it ourselves and were not willing to work from second-hand summaries. Entiva gets the filings from MCA, checks that every file is accounted for, and gives you the documents themselves.

Entiva is built in India. We are not affiliated with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, and we do not resell anyone else’s database.

Two things we will not do

Guess at a document

If a category is empty, we say it is empty. If retrieval failed, we say it failed. We never fill a gap with an inference and present it as a record.

Charge you twice

If a payment result is unclear, we check the first payment. We do not try to charge you again.

Pradeep studied at IIT Kharagpur and has spent the last decade building products at startups and big companies. He is an open-data nerd at heart and maintains India’s largest open legal dataset on the side. He built Entiva to study companies beyond the headlines, from what they have actually filed. He believes information is leverage: it builds trust and removes doubt.
