Sir,
This is to inform you that eSys information Technologies Pvt Ltd was sole distributor of Seagate Technologies LLC, USA from the year 2000 to 2006. During this period both the companies conspired to evade customs duty on products imported into India. In furtherance of such motive, they decided to import goods by quoting it as supplies to Government Departments. Forged / Fictitious Tenders were prepared to import goods at a value much less than the actual market rate. Later on the said goods were sold in open market making huge profits. The total amount of the fraud under the said plan is approx US $ 25,570,824.00. this fact is proved from the claim filed by Seagate Technology LLC before American Arbitration Association. Refer to Page II Para 40 to 49. (copy enclosed) The details of some of such fictitious tenders are as under:
I. Reserve Bank of India Tender: Credit of US $ 82,120.00.
II. Ministry of Agriculture:- US $ 15,480.00
III. Ministry of Railways

Encl: I. Claim filed by Seagate in an Arbitration case in USA
II. Copies of some Forged Tenders
It is a common knowledge that many of Seagate employees on higher positions were hand in glove with Vikas Goel of Esys to increase the sales of Seagate using various illegal methods and benefited by taking million in sales incentives by forging sales of Seagate alonf with Esys. This practice by Seagate allowed Vikas Goel, Managing Director & promoter of Esys to forge sales figures of Esys and claim 100’s millions of forged sales incentives from the pockets of Seagate shareholders.
Many people in the industry have been wondering how come Seagate has not been able to nail down Vikas Goel of Esys inspite of having all the evidence of forgery of 100’s of million of sales incentives and non payment of invoices more than $ 60 million dollors.
Vikas Goel of Esys and Rajesh Khurana of Segate prepared forged tenders of various government departments for millions of dollors. In this submission by Vikas Goel to the court all the blame is put on Seagate where as we have the emails/documents which clearly shows Vikas Goel was personally involved in forging these government tenders on daily basis.
All below comments are from Vikas Gold clearly accepting that forged TENDERS were submitted blaming that Seagate was also involved in one of his affidavit’s Annexure “INDIA TENDERS”
Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency Tender
On 20th June 2006, 05:27 PM, at Rajesh Khurana’s instruction eSys India Back office staff forwarded the SPA application on Jupiter (A Sub-Disti) along with the tender of “IREDA” to Rajesh Khurana and which was provided by Rajesh Khurana. Rajesh Khurana then internally applied to his own management for SPA on below quantity.
The first page of tender document clearly mentions that the invitation is for PURCHASE OF THE SERVER, SYSTEMS SW, PERSONAL COMPUTER, LAPTOPS and the second page states that the QUOTATION FOR COMPREHENSIVE MAINTENANCE OF PCs,PRINTERS, UPSs, and OTHER PERIPHERAL. In NO – WHERE in the tender it is mentioned that the tender is invited for the purchase of hard disk.. Also the 2nd Page clearly has NO CORELATION with the Tender and is a mere sheet of paper from somewhere else. The Tender is for PURCHASE of Some items and 2nd Page is a Quote for Maintenance for totally different items. Anyone with common sense can see that this tender is No way connected to purchase of HDD. Also noteworthy is that there is NO DATE for the Tender.
National Research Agriculture Council,
On the same day 12th July 2006, realizing the fact that eSys does not have any tender document or eSys may not be able to use the earlier tenders which he has provided since the tender application was of Pakistan and Rajesh Khurana immediately passed on the Pakistan tender documents to eSys so that it can be supported in the SPA application.
The tender document clearly reflects that the “NARC” has invited for procurement of Desktops. NO-WHERE it is mentioned that the agency wanted to buy Hard disk.
Assam Electronics Development Corporation(AMTRON)
Tender is invited from Original equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of desktop Pcs,peripherals and NO where it is mentioned that the sole hard disk is needed to purchase.
Also it is to be noted that the tender is only invited from OEMs not any non-integrator and as per the best of the knowledge SUPERTRON is neither OEM nor system integrator.
The Computers also mention clearly that the HDD needs to be PATA or IDE
FEW OTHER Points made by Vikas Goel
“ In context of India Rajesh Khurana for his internal records would work with Seagate USA pricing team and get pricing required for the products to be sold and in the process work out deals in name of Tenders. eSys would not be privy to Seagate internal wheeling dealings. After working out the deals Rajesh Khurana would pass some Tenders to the eSys clerical/Admin staff to be attached and given to him along with a price request. THE TENDERS ORGINATED FROM RAJESH KHURANA AND SEAGATE ITSELF.
eSys staff would normally send Rajesh Khurana the list of inventory and prices required to clear the inventory before they could buy in any more product. Rajesh Khurana would work internally and revert with the pricing he could give and would also pass on some Tender papers by hand, fax or email (official Seagate or his Hotmail) , to be attached along with the pricing request For Example, A mail sent by Rajesh Khurana on 30th May 2006 with an attachment of tender document of NTPC (National Thermal Power) “
“DUMMY TENDERS” being given by Rajesh Khurana and subsequent SPA given to other distributor Redington (Synnex group). BS Teh and other Seagate executives are all very close personally to Synnex group and instead of investigated fraudulent activities of their own staff including Rajesh Khurana and Robert Yang.
“Rajesh Khurana was the originator of the Document and wanted to use it for internal justification, and Seagate USA executives were fully aware it was a dummy too as any person with common sense capable of reading in English could make out. It was a part of Seagate executives own Fraudulent activities to manipulate their Financials and cheat the Public. On eSys submitting its detailed defense and highlighting Seagate illegalities, Seagate on second thoughts knowing that eSys would bring all these Tender and such things out tried to make eSys the scapegoat by alleging it on eSys. Seagate had possession of all these documents since 2006 and could have bought it in their original claim and not after 2 years. Also Seagate rather than taking action on its on executives in particular Rajesh Khurana for perpetuating a Fraud on the company or at the very least being negligent in not even reading a tender document gave him a double promotion, thereby bribing him to stick with Seagate official stand and to cover up the Fraud.”
Reserve Bank Of India (Dept. Of Information Technology)
It is to be Noted that the Tender Request and Price request was made internally by Seagate USA executives and Rajesh Khurana. As for eSys the price of USD 50.50 was already pre approved based on which eSys had purchased the product, however Seagate in order to fraudulently inflate its revenues and Profits had invoiced the goods at a much higher amount.
JHARKHAND AGENCY FOR PROMOTION OF INFORMATION & TECHNOLOGY TENDER DOCUMENT
Page 1 of the Purported Tender clearly mentions the total number of schools is 440 and page 23 of the Tender clearly mentions the Computers per school is between 1 to maximum 6 depending upon number of students with 1 computer for teachers. So maximum total 7 x 440 = 3080 computers. The Quantity Rajesh Khurana proposed is 18,632 HDD.
Page 27 and Page 28 of the Tender Clearly mention the computer need to have 80GB SATA HDD, what Rajesh forwarded and Seagate USA approved was anything but 80GB SATA. • This clearly shows that Seagate executives used their own concocted Customer names to do their internal accounting in providing the customer the credits due to them in the first place. Seagate would maliciously and fraudulently inflate its Invoice price to book higher
revenues and profits to cheat the Public.
Tender invitation was for technical & commercial bids for installation and maintenance of computer systems and provision of computer and maintenance JHARKHAND AGENCY FOR PROMOTION OF INFORMATION & TECHNOLOGY where it was clearly mentioned the requirement was for computer and NOT HDD. Also it was at all times known to Seagate entire management in APAC and Rajesh Khurana in particular that Supertron is not a System Integrator but a Sub Distributor or Trader and hence could no way be making Computers for Projects. Rajesh Khurana dealt directly with Supertron at all material times and made them a Seagate Import Partner eligible for direct rebates from Seagate even in contravention to Indian Laws, where Seagate was prohibited from indulging in any sales and
pricing activity.
