With Telangana Police: 40+ fraud cases uncovered, funds frozen across global exchanges and returned to victims.
Layering patterns detected across multiple hops and entities.
High-risk exposure identified before funds entered the platform.
Every stolen rupee that moves on-chain leaves a trail. I built Hornet so Indian investigators can follow it — and bring it home.
Hornet started in Kolkata with a conviction: India’s law enforcement should never depend on foreign black boxes to fight crypto crime. Trained in cybersecurity at IIT Kanpur, Souvik built the first tracer himself — and then kept going.
Today the platform he engineered has been procured by decorated cyber-crime units, used to freeze and return stolen funds in Telangana, and taken to the world stage — TiECon Santa Clara and RSA San Francisco — sponsored by the Government of India. He has trained officers from ATS, STF and CID at the Central Detective Training Institute (MHA), and raised ₹4 crore from Artha Venture Fund to make India self-reliant in crypto and darkweb forensics.
