This website provides information about Vithyaa Thavapalan, including her work across forensic investigation, entrepreneurship, business mentoring, speaking, community building, advocacy, media and thought leadership.

The website may also contain articles, commentary, resources, event information, links to external businesses or organisations, and opportunities to contact or work with Vithyaa.

The information available on this website is provided for general informational purposes only.

General Information Only

Content published on this website reflects general information, experience, perspectives and commentary and should not be relied upon as advice specific to your circumstances.

Nothing on this website constitutes forensic, engineering, legal, financial, accounting or other professional advice.

Content relating to entrepreneurship, mentoring, leadership or business is also general in nature. Every business and individual circumstances are different, and no particular commercial, financial or business outcome is guaranteed as a result of information shared on this website.

You should obtain appropriate professional advice relevant to your individual circumstances where necessary.

Forensic and Professional Services

Information relating to forensic investigation on this website is provided to explain Vithyaa's professional background, experience and areas of work.

Accessing this website, submitting an enquiry or communicating through the website does not create a forensic investigator-client, expert-client, consultant-client or other professional relationship.

Any engagement for forensic investigation, expert evidence, technical consulting or related professional services will be subject to a separate engagement agreement and the applicable terms of the relevant service provider.

Business Mentoring and Advisory Services

Information relating to mentoring, entrepreneurship or business advice is intended to provide an overview of Vithyaa's experience and the areas in which she may provide support to founders and business owners.

Business mentoring is intended to provide perspective, strategic discussion and practical guidance. It does not guarantee revenue, business growth, investment, commercial success or any other particular outcome.

You remain responsible for your own business, financial and commercial decisions.

Where mentoring, advisory services or workshops are provided for a fee, additional terms may apply and will be communicated separately before the relevant service is provided.

Speaking, Media and Collaborations

Information about speaking, media appearances, partnerships and collaborations is provided for general information and enquiry purposes.

Submitting an enquiry does not confirm an engagement, partnership, appearance, booking or collaboration.

Any confirmed engagement may be subject to separate written terms dealing with matters such as scope, fees, travel, intellectual property, cancellations, recording and other relevant arrangements.
