Imagine, a tweet like this from Naukri(.)com appears on your TL.(pic)

Part-3 #Karobaar of the series- ‘Decoding Messiah’.

If you have missed 1st/2nd, pls go through it first (last tweet).

Now let’s dive into Sonu Sood’s million bucks business web.

1/

2020. Pandemic year. Highly uncertain for economy. Many biz-houses slowed/shut except a few cash-rich ones. Sood, never projected as a businessman, exploited his "philanthropist" brand value, backed by heavy PR, launched not just 1-2 but 8 new ventures in the span of a year.
2/

Between Nov19-Dec20, Sood & co. paid INR60Cr cap (registered). Interestingly, one of them is a real estate venture Omsai Homes LLP of (53Cr) & 70% (37Cr) infused by Anil Kr Singh, a top bizman, associated with Samajwadi Party & have been once advisor of then CM Akhilesh Yadav.
3/

During the migrant crisis, Sood came up with 'Pravasi Rojgar' with lots of band-baja through Sood Infotech Pvt Ltd. Within 4 months a Singapore-based investment co. TEMASEK infused INR 250 Cr & then he seemingly soft exited from business.
4/

A compelling chronology-
a. 31Mar20: GoodWorker Pvt Ltd established
b. 23Jul20: Sood launched Pravasi Rojgar
c. 27Jul20: PR work
d. 02&20Aug'20: GW & Sood endorsed eachother
e. 26Nov20: GW made JV with Pravasi Rojgar (almost took over) with whooping Rs. 250Cr,
5/

..bringing Sonali Sood as proxy BoD, can be seen at last of the list without any introduction link at GW website.
So, within 8 months a seemingly pre-staged biz-deal executed well as ‘philanthropist’ activity.

Now take a look at these pictures again.
6/

Similarly for his 'Zero investment scheme,' is nothing but a business deal with Spice Digital Ltd through Sood Informatics LLP, by subscribing for 8.69 lakh shares of SGL (approx 2% of total cap).

7/

For real estate adventures, Sood is a 'habitual offender' as per BMC for illegal construction. Notices remain unheard, for instance, a residential building converted into a hotel without permission. However, seems every time someone saves him from stern action from BMC.
8/

Maybe in the future, his disciple from free IAS/CA coaching would be able to help him in better planning. Btw, while writing this thread Sood came up with a new Travel co. & Im sure by the time you would read it, one more would be launching.

9/

Be it illegal construction or drug hoarding charges, Sood knows his business model well & continues to exploit it through heavy PR that fits for a wide audience, including the Sports ministry that shocked many by promoting Sood as brand ambassador for Spl. Olympics'22.
10/

This thread doesn't question anyone's money-making ability but shows the holistic insight of PR, 'violated' crowdfunding & business trails camouflaged as 'philanthropist Messiah' & THAT IS UNJUST WITH REAL UNSUNG HEROS.
