Get alerts when an Indian company changes
Last updated 2 November 2026 · by Venu Gopal Reddy Muvva, founder
A watcher tells you when something changes. A company watcher follows chosen companies and fires when a watched field changes, such as entity status, address or the list of directors and founders. A search watcher re-runs a saved search and fires when a new company matches. Each event goes to your webhook, signed with HMAC so you can check it came from us, and to an email alert if you turn alerts on.
Steps in IndianFirmData
1. Open Watchers
Sign in and open Dashboard → Watchers.
2. Choose what to watch
Pick companies and fields, or save a search. You can also create watchers from the API or the MCP create_watcher tool.
3. Add a webhook (optional)
Give a URL and we sign each delivery with the watcher's secret.
4. Get alerts
Turn on email alerts in Notifications; at most one email per 15-minute run, up to 20 events.
What it costs
A change event is 2 credits and a new search match is 0.25 credits. Creating, listing and deleting watchers is free.
How often it checks
Watchers run every 15 minutes against our index, and the index itself refreshes daily from the public sources. A change shows up after the source publishes it and our next refresh picks it up.
When IndianFirmData is not the right tool
If you need alerts on court cases, filings or charges registered against a company, those sources are not available in IndianFirmData yet.
