Six promoters of Ignite have been arrested in Hyderabad, India.

Claiming to have “nipped Ignite in the bud”, Hyderabad authorities arrested Oneal Gupta, Dinesh Kumar Saahil, Priyanshu Saxena, Praveen Kumar Dakalia, Pritosh Kumar Dakalia and “Riyaz” between June 6th and 11th.

Ignite, aka V Ignite, is an MLM company run by former QNet promoters:

  • Pathman Senathirajah – founder, Chief (CEO equivalent)
  • Adly Hassan – Managing Director
  • Arun George – Partner
  • Dev John – Partner
  • David Sharma – Partner
  • Rosli Ismail – Partner
  • IBN Abbas – Partner
  • Sylla Youssouf – Partner
  • Sylla Zoumana – Partner
  • N’Golo – Partner
  • Manoj Narayanan – Partner
  • Marwan Talodi – Partner

QNet is a long-running pyramid scheme was banned in India as far back as 2012. The scam has gone by multiple names, including GoldQuest, QuestNet and Vihaan Direct Selling.

From a June 11th Times of India article covering the Ignite arrests;

The Government of India’s Serious Fraud Investigation Office (SFIO), in a classified 458-page report in 2012, declared GoldQuest and QuestNet to be Ponzi scheme companies and described the network as a potential threat to national security.

QNet as a whole was founded in 1998 by Vijay Eswaran (right), a Malaysian national wanted by Indian authorities.

Indian authorities cite Pathman Senathirajah as the founder of QNet in India. Adly Hassan “was QNET’s top India earner for several years”.

Senathirajah leaving QNet and gutting it to launch Ignite was apparently do disruptive, QNet issued a formal statement:

Following filing of criminal complaints and an investigation leading up to the six arrests, Hyderabad Police concluded Ignite is “the new version of QNet/Vihaan”.

Victims were told that refunds would be released only if they recruit two new members into Ignite or maintained USD 200 in their Ignite e-wallet.

This confirms that the product purchase is incidental and the enrollment fee is the real transaction.

A visit to Ignite’s website reveals whacky AliExpress type products branded as Sanarey:

  • Sanarey Activa – “energy activation wand” for $340
  • Sanarey Aria – “biofield technology” amulet, price not disclosed
  • Sanarey BR-9 – “energy wellness mat”, price not disclosed
  • Sanarey Simetra – “water resonance technology” coaster for $330

BrAInify, a purported “AI-driven online education platform” of unknown origin, was also recently launched. BrAInify access costs range from $330 to $1940.

Although they primarily target Indians through locally registered shell company Indi Konnect Ventures Pvt Ltd, Pathman Senathirajah and his accomplices fled the country years ago.

A May 24th, 2026 FaceBook post by Senathirajah reveals Adly Hassan, Oneal Gupta and Shipra Neeraj are/were hiding out in Dubai, the MLM crime capital of the world.

As per his subsequent arrest, Oneal Gupta appears to have returned to India sometime after late May. Pathman Senathirajah’s personal FaceBook page is managed from India, the Philippines and Singapore.

According to police, money collected from Ignite victims in Hyderabad was allegedly routed to Malaysia through hawala channels [money laundering] and subsequently converted into cryptocurrency before reaching a Hong Kong-based e-wallet.

At time of publication Senathirajah has yet to publicly address the six Ignite arrests in India.

Whether Pathman Senathirajah and Adly Hassan return to India to clear their names or whether they’ll continue to hide abroad remains to be seen.
