Business in India can turn personal very fast. Sometimes, one soured partnership is all it takes for the police to enter the story

I am a crisis manager — the guy corporates call when things go wrong. And they go wrong all the time. Somewhere in India, on most working days, a commercial dispute is being converted into a criminal proceeding. A breach of contract becomes a “criminal breach of trust”. A delayed payment becomes “cheating”. A management disagreement becomes “criminal conspiracy”.
