'''Team Pentacle''' is an India-based [[paranormal]] research organisation that uses a blended approach of scientific methods and religious beliefs.

Team Pentacle was established in Mumbai on January 1, 2013, by Shishir Kumar and the UFOlogist Ayush Raina, the psychic Rohit Kumar, the "healer" Chinmaya Tiwari and the investigator Nisha Verma. It was initially called Institute of Paranormal Research and UFOlogy in India. It now has two more wings - The Ascended Masters Society of India and Centre for Tantra and Spirituality in India.<ref>http://www.teampentacle.com {{Dead link|date=March 2022}}</ref>

Headquartered in Mumbai under the direction of Kumar, Team Pentacle is operational all over India, with more than 100 members from almost all states. It has operational units in the New Delhi, Bangaluru and Ranchi.<ref>http://www.teampentacle.com/p/team.html {{Dead link|date=March 2022}}</ref>

The stated mission of Team Pentacle is to edify and illuminate people about the hidden world of the paranormal and UFOlogy and to breakt the myths and dogma under which India is covered these days. In India, this is confined to a sect of people who think are the masters without any proper practical knowledge. As well said in around the world : the true knowing people are always hidden and are rarely found in the open market. The organization has taken up this task to gain knowledge from those hidden sects and transfer it to all.<ref>http://www.teampentacle.org/p/cases.html {{Dead link|date=March 2022}}</ref>
