Globe Detective Agency Pvt. Ltd. (GDA) was founded in 1961 by our Chairman, Mr. Prem Kumar. Under his leadership, GDA grew from a one-man bureau into a pan-Indian organization.
At the age of eighteen, Prem was sent abroad to study engineering in Chicago. While working part-time as a hotel detective, he stumbled upon his natural gift of detection. He shifted his focus from engineering to criminology and often assisted the Chicago police in tracking down and nabbing criminals. He was discovered by Sgt. Emil Smicklas, one of the most well-known Chicago detectives of his time. Although no less than four detective agencies offered him jobs, he preferred to undergo training in police detection under the personal guidance of Sgt. Smicklas, who became his friend, philosopher, and guide in the field of investigation.
