Eyes on your operations in India
LionQuest watches over European business interests in India — before you arrive, while you operate, and when things go wrong.
You are weighing an India decision and need ground truth before you commit: on partners, premises, people and practicalities.
How we guide entry into India
Your Indian operation runs thousands of kilometres from your boardroom. Someone you trust should be close to it.
How we watch over operations
How we solve problems on the groundA partner, an employee, a contract — something has failed and you need it resolved with discretion and discipline, not drama.

Tim Draisma
Run an operation in India from a European boardroom and three things stay out of reach: whether it is really running as it should, who on the ground can actually be trusted, and how to put things right — quietly — when they are not. Tim Draisma is the person who closes that gap.
Seventeen years in the Dutch National Police gave him a rare combination for someone now on the ground in India: he can read a situation without taking sides, stay steady when one is escalating, and commit to paper only what he can stand behind. Six years as a detective building cases with prosecutors; five adjudicating disciplinary proceedings, weighing evidence on both sides; then a board-level security role in India, where he has been present ever since.
He is independent in the way that matters to you: no parent firm pulling strings, no in-house product he needs to push. Where he has a commercial relationship with a partner he recommends, he discloses it — so you always know where his interest lies, and the advice stands on its merits. He can confirm whether your people and partners are doing what they should, flag trouble before it costs you, and, when something needs fixing, reach the right people to resolve it — because he knows who on the ground can be trusted. Where work is needed, LionQuest draws on partners he has personally vetted, so you get reach and continuity, not a single point of failure.
Whatever the subject, his reporting carries the discipline of a career spent producing evidence that had to withstand challenge: the reasoning laid out, claims grounded in recognised standards wherever they apply, and findings you can rely on and act on.
