CORRUPTION & MALPRACTICE AT AKSHAYAPATRA FOUNDATION abetted by VENKATA KRISHNA SHARMA

 

CORRUPTION & MALPRACTICE AT AKSHAYAPATRA FOUNDATION abetted by VENKATA KRISHNA SHARMA

HARE KRISHNA

To

Shri Shridhar Venkat -CEO

Shri Balaji MN – CFO

Shri Mukesh Tiwari- COO

Shri Vinod Sudhakar- Head of Technology

Shri Hari Sankar- Director Audit

I respect the views of VKS but strongly disagree with his response & reply on the following grounds:

One day testing cannot become a report.  The working cauldrons and the comparison for a good period can become a report.

What I mean is that should be backed by good period of observation. 

1.      Physics & nature doesn’t play game of dice but humans like VKS do as they have failed to understand that scientific testing of gas fuel is physics, which does not change, whether you do trial once or 1000 times. What I am going to share now with you all are facts, as evidence. These shall immediately be appreciated by Vinod Sudhakar- Head of Technology & shall also make immediate sense to Hari Sankar- Director Audit & also to CEO, CFO & COO. Let me share how VKS has chided & suppressed the truth, critical facts for which the allegation is being levelled one by one.

2.      VKS is aware of the following facts that our story dates back to year 2018  especially when no one in the world was aware of radiant heat infra-red gas assembly/technology in commercial kitchens, we were the pioneers in introducing the technology even into Akshaya Patra-Mathura the below evidence proves it:

A comparison of the existing method of works for both CAPEX and Revex vs the proposed method for a given period should be reported.

c.      Apple to apple comparison- A no-brainer test was done at the behest of VKS, which was an   apple-to-apple comparison. After the scientific testing ANNEXURE-A, B & C Reports were given, which was blatantly ignored by VKS

d.      Defying the authority on certification: In India BIS-Bureau of Indian standard is the authority on commercial Gas Burner under IS 14612.  The MOPNG- In the year 2014 the Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas –Cabinet Minister directed LERC- LPG Equipment Research Centre, India’s Premiere Research Agency, which is a consortium of Indian Oil Majors (IOCL,BPCL,HPCL & ONGC) to test Agnisumukh innovative patented radiant heat burner system. After an arduous & series of rounds of testing a certificate was issued which validated under IS 14612 that AGNISUMUKH BURNERS have highest thermal efficiency in the world. The certificates were given to VKS as ANNEXURE- C & D. What did VKS do? Simply ignored & gave a reply devoid of logic, reason & wisdom by utterly disrespecting the authorities  like:

e.      BIS & LERC. The motive seemed apparent that skeletons may fall out of cupboard for having promoted for personal gains an inferior technology violating patents (ANNEXURE- F & G)

f.        Patent Infringement: ANNEXURE- F & G was supplied to VKS & several mails were written to VKS.  VKS instead of forwarding to legal department responded with the following comments:

We would like to clarify few points.

1.      Akshayapatra had not violated any Patents.

2.      We also invite your team to visit our Pondicherry kitchen where you can select the cauldron and operate it with Agnisumuk burner to have an apple-to-apple comparison at mutually convenient scheduled timings.  This was informed to you.

3.      Surely we are open to have any collaboration with you which will be beneficial to Akshayapatra and its suppliers.

4.      We wish that such progress takes us ahead to serve the Government school children better.

 

g.      VKS was supplied with ANNEXURE-H so that he can become serious on the issue of Patent infringement, instead became arrogant by giving self-certification that patent infringement committed by Foundation is no crimes without realising the Indian laws are applied equally to all whether Profit or Non-Profit organisation.

h.     Instead of making patent infringement an issue I took the challenge to Point No.2 of VKS to be constructive than destructive & honoured in July 2026 by doing trial & testing by drawing a certificate in the presence of team Akshayapatra & Agnisumukh. Which VKS demanded evidence & detailed report, which we again gave & went to his dustbin as he gave no weightage to factual details.

i.        VKS is questioning so much for an inferior technology violating patent law, I have a genuine question as right to know, whether VKS applied  the same standard  while purchasing duplicate & inferior technology. If not, it gives beyond reasonable doubt the existence of gratis, personal & selfish interest which my private inquiry has revealed.

 

Moreover, I mentioned that our operations team should vet that report. Your technical team should consolidate such report and take a vetting from operations where it’s worked out.

j.        When VKS failed to look into ANNEXURE-I, it became apparently clear that he lacked devotion to duty asVKS was fully aware that  AKSHAYAPATRA was bleeding daily & had a phenomenal opportunity of gaining without investing a single paisa. Instead of calling us for discussion, he denied us a meeting with the appropriate authority citing some excuse which became evident as he had no excitement which can benefit the organisation, he is working for. We were of no interest for him as we don’t pay bribes for personal gains  but bring direct benefit to our customers like Akshaya Patra Foundation.

Lets net continue writing emails. I am stopping the email conversation with this.  

k.      It’s at this juncture I decided to expose VKS a man with questionable integrity by approaching the higher & appropriate authorities in   Foundation.

l.        From the reliable sources I have learnt that AKSHAYAPATRA is buying duplicate VAPA BURNERS of Chinese make & not the original from Lebanon by colluding with vendors by over-invoicing & taking bribes as kickback. I request for a proper investigation by doing a forensic audit to unravel the truth & punish the guilty.

m.   Dear Sir let me share my profile so that you will understand that I am more looking for opportunity to do Krishna Seva in my own way & associate in your noble vision which VKS is fully aware of.

n.      I belong to 1999 batch of Indian Revenue Officer who has worked with one of your beloved trustee Shri KV Chowdary, Retired IRS Officer who was our former CVC. For the passion of cooking, I left an  enviable job as a civil servant from the position of Commissioner of Income-tax to spend full-time research in Indian Cooking & Radiant Heat Technology in Commercial Kitchen, where India is top in technology because of AGNISUMUKH.

o.      I request the CEO that I neither have stamina nor interest to talk through VKS, a toxic person, a person with questionable integrity, who lacks understanding what great value we bring to the table in the interest of AKSHAYAPATRA FOUNDATION especially when LPG prices have shot the roof.

p.      I  humbly request your good self to give us an appointment before Shridhar Venkat -CEO, Balaji MN – CFO, Vinod Sudhakar- Head of Technology & Hari Sankar- Director Audit for bringing benefit to all.

 

A line of reply shall be highly appreciated.

 

Warm regards
