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.

Co-Research @vinod1703
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.

Much of chaos in Lutyens Delhi when I-T raided Bhaskar, a group of businesses, as 'Attack on Freedom of Media'. Almost in no time, Agarwals & other 'usual suspects' played the dumbest victim-card.

Are they really only a media co. with clean books?

1/
Let's not address it as Dainik Bhaskar but 'Agarwals' only. Besides media & publications, Agarwals owns not just 5-10-30 but 81 companies, of power, radio, real estate, textiles, & whatnot! (P1)
For your easy ref. Asia's richest Ambani owns 13 cos.

2/
Look at how the Agarwal's (Sudhir, Girish, Pawan) web of business looks like (P1, P2, P3).

If I start writing on every business, their Finance, this thread will never end.

Spend two of min time just to read the companies name.

Whoaa! This is Interesting!!
The highly hit/try, P&C, unreliable process which Amnesty Security Lab followed is like this (in short):
1. Hell bunch of logs data collected from temporal correlation between phone logs & Pegasus servers. Finally 50K+ numbers leaked ..

(filtered) as "potentially compromised" but doesn't mean definitely compromised. In order to ensure & run the scan, required a forensic analysis. Now total 67 such 'volunteer' agreed when they got to know about this 'potential hacking'. So the sample is just 67 now.
2/ Image
Forensic conducted on 67. Out of these:
23 found infected
14 not infected, but traces of 'hack attempt'
30 inconclusive due to various reasons.

Now this entire hohulla "credibility" is 34% & 66% is in air that too derived from glass of water sampling rate out of a sea.

Newsclick back in news. 2 weeks back the editor, a CPM member, Prabir Purkayastha was grilled by IT folks for an dubious FDI. Now ED probed revealed conducting CPC (China) connection to U'Naxal Gautam Navlakha, who run his propoganda articles thru Newsclick as columnist too.
1/
Navlakha a big gamer, usually remain low-light to run their anti-India shops. Currently in prison for Elgar Parishad (just like Stan Swamy), Navlakha alongwith CPI(M) Twitter IT cell Bappaditya Sinha received lakhs of fund from USA (CPC face) through Newsclick.
2/
Twitter ex-handle Sumona Chakraborty has done numbers of eye opening work on this Khan Market gang. Her research & history of Navlakha is archived here

Q. What clicks in your mind when you think of "Spotify"?
A. MUSIC, & why not, it's just an audio songs app.

NO. It's not just a music app anymore but a rising propaganda machine targeting the youth of the country who are major subscribers base, via their podcasts.

Read on..
1/
Popular among youngsters, the App grabbed decent footprint (2+mn subs), since launched (Feb19). Music-loving nation & smartphone explosion brought better revenue & branding (got 3x after IND launch), further pushed with 2mn PODCAST hosting. Announced 12 more IND lang in Apr21
2/
The problem is not making business. The problem comes here-
Spotify tied up with The Indian Express for their PODCASTs '3Things'. Now just look at the subject & the narrative they are injecting here in the series. Stan Swamy, Kalita bail, "Ayodhya land scam", "Loni assault",
