Updates From AISPA - Ashok Bahirwani (02 Oct. 2011)

Good Evening Speakasians,

I have been saying over a length of time that SAOL is under attack and is battling a powerful adversary and now a misguided media is unknowingly sitting in “arbitration of opportunity”.

The appalling carnage spread by the media on SAOL is unheard of and I place my fiercest objection to this. The power and reach of the media is being misused to deprive lakhs of Speakasia panelists the right to earn a respectful earning. This is the highest degree of Human Right Violation.

The events over the last couple of day’s shows the lack of imagination of the press media and how they are reporting senselessly and attempt to sensationalize simple events into major breaking news items.

On Friday September 30, 2011 Mumbai Mirror reported “Another SpeakAsia official behind bars”.

The arrest of Mr. Sanjeev Dandona who was supposed to be the senior financial consultant is most hilarious. First and foremost Mr. Sanjeev Dandona is in no way a SAOL consultant or a direct employee of the company SAOL. Mr. Sanjeev Dandona was an associate of the Master Distributor/Franchisee of HVP M/s Kritanj Management & AlliedServices. It seems that Mr. Dandona has parted ways with Kritanj almost 6 to 7 months back.

The funny part is that how the reporter is falsely reporting that he (Mr. Dandona) was involved in transferring crores of rupees to Singapore trying to make this absolutely legit transaction into something illegal and wrong. I wish to remind the reporting team that M/s Kritanj Management & Allied Services are the Master Franchisee of HVP and it is evident that all the money is routed through this account into the accounts of HVP in Singapore. What may I ask the reporting team is wrong in this transaction when the entire transaction is through proper legal banking channels? Are you surprised that a company can actually have a clean and overboard transaction.

The reporter team goes on to explain how SAOL is a multilevel marketing company where investors [sic] are supposed to make more members. We all Speakasians know that this statement cannot be more far from reality than it is as stated by the author. Dear author why do not you understand the business model, please do your homework, just don’t publish work without doing your research. There is absolutely no hanky panky going on here the entire process is overboard as is evident from the investigation that crores of Rupees were transferred to Singapore and this was done only because the company was head quartered in Singapore and most of the money has come back into the accounts of the panelists again through proper banking channels. Mr. Author it is not compulsory for any panelist to make any new member, referring the business model to other members is only one of the revenue generating avenues and no way is it compulsory. The beauty of this model is that no activity is compulsory a panelist is free to choose what activity he/she wants to partake in.

I ask you what is wrong in the business model of the company or the transactions. Various reports from your bureau have been published on the matter of SAOL may I ask you what is the inference drawn by your bureau upto now. I am sure you must have at least figured out prima facie what is wrong with the company.

On Saturday October 1, 2011 Mr. Abhijit Sathe again of the Mumbai Mirror filed the following report:

“Speak Asia dint have clients, Surveys were fake” Passing judgments is not a journalists prerogative but that is besides the point, Passing judgmental reviews in a matter which is sub judice is again bad in law and amounts to the highest degree of “Contempt of Court” but then with falling standards of journalism we do not expect the journalists to behave in a way worthy of a professional journalist and we absolve them of their short comings after all we Speakasians are magnanimous at heart.

I wish to explain to my Panelist brethren the factual position as follows:

We all know that the E zines we received used to have links as found on Wikipedia.

This company the brand Saloon (Inc) is a company which was a vendor for SAOL. This company was hired for SEO (Search Engine Optimization) work. This company brand Saloon (Inc) was also hired to indigenize the content for E zines.

The company SAOL has never said anywhere that they conducted only “commissioned surveys“ on the contrary the company has gone on record to say that the company is into “Precision Mass Marketing” and one of the activities undertaken by the company is to gather opinion of its panelists on various issues and subjects spread over various verticals, industries and services.

The Company has an ever growing and dynamic data base of various surveys which they place on the international panel exchanges for sale. From the feedback on such exchanges the company makes a shortlist of surveys they wish to conduct from the Speakasia panel.

The moot question is: what is a fake survey? A survey at worst may be a useless survey which has no takers or may not be saleable, but how can any survey be called fake. The surveys conducted were most of the time “stock surveys” for the survey data bank of the company they may not have been commissioned but in “NO WAY ANY SURVEY OF THE COMPANY CAN BE CLASSIFIED AS FAKE”. I am sure the author is not biased against the company he probably does not have the required knowledge and acumen to understand the business of Surveys after all not everybody is an “empowered consumer”

On Friday, there was news doing the rounds that the Panelists moved WRIT PETITION which was posted for hearing on 10th October had now been posted for 21st November, 2011. We were shocked at this new development and found that this happened because it was evident that some agency wanted to delay the matter. We have however taken corrective measures and will ensure that the matter is not delayed to such an extent and we will move heaven and earth to see that the matter is heard in October itself.

The only crime of this company SAOL is that its business model is way ahead of its time, it is a revolutionary business model and it is one of the few avenues where one can earn millions of rupees in a 100% legal way and most importantly in the time frame you feel comfortable in.

Friends remember the song from three idiots: Jab life ho out of control, honthon ko kar ke gol
Seeti bajaa ke bol Aal Izzz Well. Aree bhaiyaa all izz well, Aree chachu aal izz well, Aree bhaiyaa all izz well

And for media and authorities this from the same song: Confusuin hi confusion hai

Solution kuch pata nahin…. Solution jo mila to saala, Question kya tha pata nahin.

Jai Speakasia
