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. In principle that makes it one of the most useful public datasets in the country.

In practice, getting a complete set for one company means eight separate passes through a portal, a fresh CAPTCHA every few files, an encoded archive at the end of it, and a seven-day window before paid access lapses. Analysts do this by hand. Lawyers bill for it. Most people give up and settle for a summary from a database that is copying the same filings, months late, without showing you the document.

We built Entiva because we needed it ourselves and were not willing to work from second-hand summaries. It does the fetching, verifies what comes back, and hands over the actual documents — so the primary record is the cheapest thing to consult rather than the most expensive.

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

How we work

Three 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.

Pool your work with someone else's

Reuse of retrieved documents is strictly within your own account. What you order is not a contribution to a shared database we sell on.

Charge you twice

One payment attempt per order, enforced in code. Ambiguity always resolves towards reconciliation, never towards a second charge.

Stop paying an analyst to fight a CAPTCHA
