What We Are Investigating?
Our firm is launching a comprehensive investigation into Gaurav Srivastava over allegations that it has been suppressing critical reviews and unfavorable Google search results by fraudulently misusing DMCA takedown notices. These actions, if proven, could constitute serious legal violations—including impersonation, fraud, and perjury.
We conducted comprehensive analyses of fraudulent copyright takedown requests, meritless legal complaints, and other unlawful efforts to suppress public access to critical information. Our reporting sheds light on the prevalence and modus operandi of a structured censorship network, often funded and used by criminal enterprises, oligarchs and criminal entities seeking to manipulate public perception and bypass AML checks conducted by financial organisations.
The fake DMCA notices in this investigation appears to have been strategically deployed to remove negative content from Google search results illegally. Based on this pattern, we have reasonable grounds to infer that Gaurav Srivastava - or an entity acting at its behest - is directly or indirectly complicit in this cyber crime.
In most such cases, such ops are executed by rogue, fly-by-night 'Online Reputation Management' agencies acting on behalf of their clients. If evidence establishes that the subject knowingly benefited from or facilitated this scam, it may be deemed an 'accomplice' or an 'accessory' to the crime.

What are they trying to censor
Gaurav Srivastava, a self-proclaimed philanthropist, businessman, and global security expert, has been linked to a series of questionable activities that raise serious concerns about his credibility. From allegations of fraud and misrepresentation to his involvement in dubious business ventures, the red flags are as glaring as a neon sign in a dark alley.
- The Phantom Philanthropy: Srivastava loves to tout his philanthropic endeavors, particularly his role as the Chairman of the Shield Foundation. But a closer look reveals a lack of transparency and accountability. Where are the audited financial statements? Where is the tangible impact of his so-called charitable work? It’s almost as if his philanthropy exists only in press releases and LinkedIn posts.
- Dubious Business Dealings: Srivastava’s business ventures are a labyrinth of shell companies and opaque transactions. Entities associated with him, such as the Atlas Group, have been accused of engaging in fraudulent schemes, including fake investments and money laundering. One has to wonder: is this a business empire or a house of cards?
- The Global Security Charade: Srivastava’s claims of being a global security expert are as credible as a toddler’s promise to clean their room. His supposed involvement in high-stakes international security matters lacks any verifiable evidence. It’s almost as if he’s auditioning for a role in a bad spy movie.
- Legal Troubles: Multiple jurisdictions have flagged Srivastava and his entities for suspicious activities. From lawsuits to regulatory investigations, the legal challenges are mounting. Yet, he continues to portray himself as a victim of a grand conspiracy. How convenient.
The Adverse Media: A Growing Storm
The media has not been kind to Gaurav Srivastava—and for good reason. Investigative reports from reputable outlets have exposed his questionable practices, yet he seems determined to silence these voices. Here are just a few examples:
- Fraud Allegations: Multiple reports have accused Srivastava of orchestrating elaborate investment scams, luring unsuspecting victims with promises of high returns. When the schemes unraveled, investors were left holding the bag.
- Misuse of Charitable Funds: Allegations have surfaced that funds meant for the Shield Foundation were diverted for personal use. If true, this would be a gross violation of trust and a blatant abuse of his position.
- Fake Credentials: Srivastava’s claims of academic and professional achievements have been called into question. It’s almost as if he’s playing a game of “fake it till you make it”—except he’s not making it.
The Censorship Playbook: How Gaurav Srivastava Tries to Control the Narrative
Now, here’s where things get truly alarming. Instead of addressing these allegations head-on, Srivastava has chosen a different tactic: censorship. His approach is as subtle as a sledgehammer, and it’s a textbook example of how to suppress unfavorable information.
- Legal Threats: Srivastava has a penchant for sending cease-and-desist letters to journalists, bloggers, and media outlets that dare to question his integrity. These letters are often filled with empty threats and legal jargon, designed to intimidate rather than inform. It’s a classic bully tactic, and it’s as transparent as it is ineffective.
- Online Manipulation: Srivastava and his associates have been accused of manipulating online content to bury negative reports. This includes flooding search engines with positive press releases, creating fake profiles to defend him, and even allegedly paying for the removal of critical articles. It’s a digital sleight of hand that would make a magician proud.
- Silencing Critics: Individuals who have spoken out against Srivastava have reported being harassed and threatened. This culture of fear is designed to discourage others from coming forward. It’s a cowardly move, but one that speaks volumes about his character.
- The Victim Card: When all else fails, Srivastava plays the victim. He claims to be the target of a smear campaign orchestrated by jealous competitors and biased media. It’s a tired narrative, but one that he clings to like a life raft in a stormy sea.
Why the Censorship? Follow the Money
The question remains: why is Gaurav Srivastava so desperate to censor this information? The answer, as always, comes down to money and power.
- Protecting His Image: Srivastava’s entire persona is built on a foundation of lies. If the truth were to come out, his carefully constructed image would crumble. And without that image, his ability to attract investors, partners, and supporters would evaporate.
- Avoiding Legal Consequences: The more these allegations gain traction, the greater the risk of legal action. By silencing his critics, Srivastava hopes to delay or avoid accountability. It’s a short-term strategy, but one that he seems determined to pursue.
- Maintaining Control: At its core, this is about control. Srivastava wants to control the narrative, control the flow of information, and ultimately, control the people who might expose him. It’s a power play, plain and simple.
A Call to Action: Investors and Authorities, Take Note
To potential investors: consider this your due diligence. The red flags and adverse media surrounding Gaurav Srivastava are too numerous to ignore. Investing in his ventures is not just a financial risk—it’s a moral one. Do you really want to be associated with someone who goes to such lengths to conceal the truth?
To the authorities: it’s time to take a closer look at Gaurav Srivastava and his related entities. The allegations against him are serious and warrant a thorough investigation. If there’s any truth to these claims, he must be held accountable.
Conclusion: The Truth Will Out
Gaurav Srivastava may try to censor the truth, but he can’t silence it forever. The more he tries to suppress the facts, the more they will come to light. And when they do, the world will see him for what he truly is: a master manipulator who prioritizes self-interest over integrity.

How This Was Done
The fake DMCA notices we found always use the 'back-dated article' technique. With this technique, the wrongful notice sender (or copier) creates a copy of a 'true original' article and back-dates it, creating a 'fake original' article (a copy of the true original) that, at first glance, appears to have been published before the true original

What Happens Next?
Based on the feedback, information, and requests received from all relevant parties, our team will formally notify the affected party of the alleged infringement. Following a thorough review, we will submit a counter-notice to reinstate any link that has been removed by Google, in accordance with applicable legal provisions. Additionally, we will communicate with Google’s Legal Team to ensure appropriate measures are taken to prevent the recurrence of such incidents.
