Nayan Khandor, owner of web designing firm Brand Saloon Inc, was arrested after confessing that surveys he prepared for Speak Asia served no genuine purpose. He knew the surveys were not used for real market research. This contradicts Speak Asia's public claims about corporate clients and legitimate data collection.

Speak Asia paid Khandor between Rs 30,000 and Rs 1.5 lakh for each survey. To maintain their operation and attract new members, Speak Asia provided Khandor with topics for future surveys. These included everyday items like scooters, deodorants, talcum powder, washing machines, and power saving.

Khandor's team would gather information on these topics from Wikipedia and other internet sources, then compile a survey. The finished surveys did not go back to Speak Asia. Instead, Khandor sent them to Seven Rings India or Tulsiantek.

Both Seven Rings Education Private Limited and Tulsient Information Systems are companies linked to Manoj Sharma Kumar, Speak Asia's Indian CEO. Seven Rings International appears to have grown in importance within Speak Asia's structure. The CID recently implicated Seven Rings as a conduit for moving money from Singapore.

Seven Rings is not the only company accused of acting as a shell for money laundering. Fellow company AdMatrix was also named in Speak Asia's financial trail back in August. This suggests a financial connection between Speak Asia, AdMatrix, and Seven Rings International.

Harendar Kaur, Speak Asia's public CEO operating from Singapore, runs Haren Ventures. Her company reportedly had a series of failed business ventures before her involvement with Speak Asia. Kaur is now rumored to be in Dubai. No clear connection exists between Harendar Kaur and either Seven Rings or AdMatrix. Given the apparent lack of personal involvement in Speak Asia's management, Kaur's role may have been primarily to facilitate money movement.
