Yes, if both partners agree, you can file for mutual consent divorce under the Hindu Marriage Act. It usually takes 6 months to 1 year, depending on court discretion. While privacy is maintained, official court records are public. The process can begin without informing others, but complete secrecy is not guaranteed.
