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. #DecodingMessiah#SonuSood
- Gaurav Gogoi and nationality concern
- Elizabeth Colburn's links with Pakistani NGO

Confidential documents based on which Assam SIT has investigated this entire nexus!
1/
Context : Assam Congress leader Gaurav Gogoi is married to British citizen Elizabeth Colburn, who was employed by a Pakistani NGO "Lead Pakistan". Later, she joined the Indian chapter of same "Lead India", but continued to report + funded by Pakistani boss Ali Tauqeer Sheikh.
2/
Start with; the Gogoi couple has two children. Shockingly, both are NOT Indian citizen. In fact, Gogoi surrendered Indian passport of his son, citing "acquistion of another country passport".
ASSAM SIT PROBE:
Foreign Links. Undisclosed Travel. Financial Trails. Gaurav Gogoi & his wife Elizabeth Colburn's connection across the border raises serious national security concerns.
Thread 🧵 1/
The SIT report submitted to the Assam Govt points to interactions between Elizabeth Colburn Gogoi and Pakistani national Ali Tauqeer Sheikh (ATS).
ATS is ex chief executive of LEAD Pakistan, linked with policy and strategic influence networks operating out of Pakistan.
2/
ATS is an influential man. All these ppl who worked under the cover of climate, weather, human rights etc NGO are far deeper than appears. That's typical Soros ecosystem SOP.

The US COMMISSION ON INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM is a self-proclaimed 'freedom of religion' watchdog.
According to USCIRF, Bangladesh is not even "CPC (Country of Particular Concern)".
1/6
USCIRF labels India as a CPC and often selects specific cases to build a particular narrative.
Check these headlines.
2/
In their 2025 Annual Report, they indeed mentioned that Hindus are being targeted in Bangladesh more for their political affiliation than their religion.
Instead of threatening legal action, why not explain, Madam @KotaNeelima, why PROTO founder Nasr ul Hadi featured your profile on PROTO’s homepage for years, prominently displayed alongside his own profile?

PROTO, ICFJ, OCCRP funding and partnering. All this information is available on the open internet.
The man character of this story influence the media-narrative in India, controlled by US & Jamaat elements.
At the centre of it – Congress spox Pawan Khera'a wife Neelima Kota.
1/
Did you know that Congress national spokesperson Pawan Khera's wife Kota Neelima is part of a company that decides which Indian journalists receive US funding?
The answer is going to reveal Congress's entire foreign-funded propaganda machinery.
2/
Kota Neelima sits on Congress Working Committee, ex VP of Telangana Congress, simultaneously being a part of PROTO, a Delhi based company that controls selection of Indian journalists to receive foreign funding.
Conflict of interest, is nothing in front of what's coming..
Shocking details! He brought a Soros-backed Pakistani-linked finance executive to the sensitive China border at Pangong Tso during his August 2023 visit.
Who is this fellow & why meeting at the border?

Rahul Gandhi's companion's (whom we're going to talk about) previous firm tried selling Pakistani power to Beijing for $1.77bn.
Like, why Rahul Gandhi, Pakistan and China have to come in the same sentence?
