The 2 Indian companies that have made their way into the list of Spy Files are Himachal Pradesh-based Shoghi and Indore-headquartered ClearTrail. Shoghi has become one of the largest suppliers to the Indian armed forces and RAW and offers a range of equipment to monitor satellite, mobile phone and strategic military communications. ClearTrail says its products “help communication service providers, law enforcement and government agencies worldwide to counteract the exploitation of today's communication networks, fight terrorism and organized crime.” The Hindu called officials at both companies and then e-mailed them requesting meetings to discuss issues raised in its investigation. However, neither company responded; with one saying that it was barred from discussing technical questions with the media by its terms of contract with its military clients.

Ever since 26/11, companies like Shoghi and ClearTrail haven't been short of customers as India made massive investments in communication intelligence equipments. The intelligence and police services now listen to phone, satellite and computer communication systems of terrorists and hostile intelligence services, like the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI). New technology acquisitions allow India to monitor hostile forces not only inside the country but also across the region. India's National Technical Research Organization (NTRO) has also deployed computers fitted at key internet hubs - junction boxes, through which all of the country's internet traffic must pass.
