From Terra Vision To Terra Invest: With The Same Adeeb Hussain!?

The public record surrounding Ankiti Bose is does not look like a clean narrative of entrepreneurial resilience. It can be sequence of dramatic rises, abrupt boardroom ruptures, delayed criminal complaints, parallel tax proceedings, aggressive defamation campaigns, and a striking pattern of corporate formations that appear, then vanish, with limited public explanation. For investors, shareholders, and stakeholders evaluating any platform associated with her name, particularly Terra Invest and its precursors, the central question is no longer merely reputation. It is intent.  

What purpose do these vehicles serve?

Why does a company incorporated in the United Kingdom in May 2024 with Ankiti Bose and Adeeb Hussain as directors dissolve less than two years later, only for the same individuals to reappear in a new branded investment platform alongside Krishan Rattan?

Why do the forensic reports that led to Bose’s termination from Zilingo remain unpublished 4 years later?

Why was a serious sexual-harassment FIR filed nearly 2 years after her exit?

Why was the complaint filed in India, and not in Singapore, when Bose is a usually  a resident of the foreign land?

Why does a GST criminal complaint naming her still sit without public resolution?

These are not peripheral curiosities. They go to the heart of whether new capital structures are being built on resolved history or on unresolved risk.  

The Zilingo Fracture: Suspension, Forensic Review, and Termination “With Cause”

Ankiti Bose co-founded Zilingo, a Singapore-headquartered fashion-technology company that raised approximately US 308 million and at one point carried a valuation approaching US1 billion. She served as CEO for roughly 7 years. That trajectory ended in early 2022. On 31 March 2022 the board suspended her amid questions that surfaced during a fundraising attempt. Contemporaneous reporting, including from Bloomberg, indicated that the company had engaged independent forensic work, principally by Kroll, with accounting input from Deloitte, into complaints of serious financial irregularities.  

The publicly reported scope of that review included discrepancies in revenue figures presented to different parties, outstanding audited financials, and vendor payments exceeding US7million (some accounts place related figures above US10 million across named recipients) that senior executives said they had not known about and that Bose had signed. On 20 May 2022 the company terminated her employment “with cause.” Descriptions of the termination letter circulating at the time cited insubordination, neglect of duties, failure to produce documents, failure to present herself for questioning, breach of employment terms, and breakdown of trust.

Lenders accelerated repayment of outstanding facilities. Bose resigned her directorships in June 2022. By early 2023 the company was in liquidation. Bose has consistently denied personal financial misconduct. She has stated that she was dismissed for insubordination, that she was never shown the full Kroll or Deloitte findings, and that the process was shaped by conflicts of interest. 

The 23-Month Delay and the Mumbai FIR

On 23 April 2024, nearly 23 months after her termination, Bose filed a criminal complaint at Kasturba Marg Police Station in Borivali East, Mumbai. Police registered an FIR the same day against her former co-founder Dhruv Kapoor and former COO Aadi Vaidya. The allegations, as reported from the complaint and FIR, included sexual harassment and stalking under Indian Penal Code provisions, demands for sexual favours allegedly tied to retention of the CEO role in March 2021, lewd communications, use of untraceable or disappearing accounts, intimidation, concealment of company information, and pressure over shares.  

Both men immediately and publicly rejected the claims as baseless, malicious, and retaliatory. They noted the prior forensic investigation and the sequence: financial concerns and suspension first, formal harassment complaints later. Bose attributed the long delay in filing the criminal complaint to a new job in Singapore that prevented earlier travel to India.

Questions about jurisdiction, timing, and the earlier descriptions of alleged conduct (including references in 2022 legal notices to incidents in Singapore involving anonymous threats) remain unanswered in the public domain. As of late 2026, no publicly reported charge sheet, arrest, trial verdict, or substantive judicial determination on the merits of the sexual-harassment allegations has been identified. The FIR sits unresolved.  

The GST Criminal Complaint

In November 2025 the Directorate General of GST Intelligence filed a criminal complaint (SS Case No. 155/2025) before the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Esplanade Court, Mumbai, against Ankiti Bose, Zilingo Global Pvt. Ltd., and others. The complaint invokes provisions relating to alleged issuance of invoices without corresponding supply of goods or services, wrongful availment or utilisation of input tax credit, and related offences.

Public reporting indicates the matter remains at a relatively early stage, with summons issued and future dates listed into 2027. Bose has not, according to available accounts, appeared in the proceedings in a manner that has produced public resolution. This proceeding places her name on the accused side of a tax-related criminal complaint arising from the same corporate history.  

Defamation as Strategy

Parallel to these developments, Bose has pursued multiple high-value defamation actions. In 2023 she sued investor Mahesh Murthy in the Bombay High Court for approximately ₹820 crore over a magazine column and obtained interim relief.

In 2026 she secured successive interim orders from Delhi courts, including the Dwarka district court and the Delhi High Court, restraining publications by Inventiva and associated parties that characterised her post-Zilingo activities in highly critical terms.

Courts have noted that she is a complainant in the Mumbai FIR. They do demonstrate a consistent pattern of litigation aimed at controlling the public narrative.  

Terra Vision Investments Limited: Incorporated, Dormant, Dissolved

Against this backdrop, the UK company record is stark. Terra Vision Investments Limited (company number 15736307) was incorporated on 23 May 2024 as a private limited company with registered office at 86-90 Paul Street, London. Nature of business was information technology consultancy activities (SIC 62020).

Ankiti Uday Bose was appointed director on the incorporation date; Adeeb Hussain was appointed director on 24 June 2024. Bose was notified as person with significant control holding 75% or more of the shares. Accounts for the period to 31 May 2025 were filed; the company was described in some commercial databases as dormant. On 3 March 2026 the company was dissolved.  

The lifespan was under 22 months. No public explanation of the commercial activity, capital raised, investments made, or reasons for dissolution appears in the accessible Companies House record beyond the basic filings. Adeeb Hussain, the co-director, is listed on the Terra-Invest website as Senior Investment Associate. He holds degrees from Newcastle University and University College London and has described experience in mergers, IPOs, corporate finance, and quantitative finance.  

From Terra Vision to Terra Invest

The same two individuals, Ankiti Bose and Adeeb Hussain, then appear in the public presentation of Terra Invest, now joined by Krishan Rattan as a founding partner. Terra-Invest’s own materials describe Krishan Rattan as a banker and financial-services entrepreneur who has overseen transactions worth over US 12 billion and previously setup MountRow, described as managing over US 1.2 billion in AUM.

The platform positions itself across AI, healthcare, longevity, energy transition, finance, and frontier markets, with claimed footprints in London, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Miami, and Singapore. Additional names associated with the platform include former U.S. Ambassador Kirk Wagar and Shailesh Haribhakti as Mentor-in-Chief.  

Public verification of the multi-billion-dollar track-record claims and specific closed transaction figures remains thin in independent sources. Launch coverage in 2024 and subsequent promotional material have circulated ambitious targets; by late 2026 independent confirmation of realised AUM or named counterparties for the larger figures is limited. The sequence, UK company with Ankiti Bose and Adeeb Hussain, rapid dissolution, reappearance of the same pair with Rattan under the Terra Invest brand, creates an observable pattern of successive vehicles.  

The Compromised-Purpose Question

Is the company structure being made for a compromised purpose? The public record does not contain a court finding that answers the question in the affirmative. What the record does contain is a series of unresolved high-stakes controversies attached to the principal founder, a short-lived UK entity whose commercial rationale is opaque, the re-use of the same junior director in the successor platform, and marketing language that projects institutional scale while independent verification of capital and track record remains incomplete.  

Stakeholders must weigh several concrete risks.

1. First, the unpublished forensic reports from 2022 leave open the possibility that material adverse information about governance or financial practices exists and has never been tested in open court.
2. Second, the timing of the 2024 FIR invites legitimate scrutiny of motive, even while the allegations themselves remain unadjudicated.
3. Third, the GST complaint places Bose’s name in active criminal tax proceedings.
4. Fourth, the rapid formation and dissolution of Terra Vision Investments Limited, followed by the relaunch under a similar brand with overlapping personnel, is the kind of corporate behaviour that sophisticated investors ordinarily subject to enhanced due diligence.  

None of these facts proves fraudulent intent in the new vehicles. They do establish that any capital committed to platforms associated with Bose carries the legacy of Zilingo’s collapse, the incomplete public accounting of that collapse, and a demonstrated willingness to use litigation to shape the narrative around it. Intent is inferred from patterns. The pattern here is one of contested exits, delayed counter-allegations, tax proceedings, defamation strategy, and successive corporate shells with limited public substance.  

What Stakeholders Should Demand?

Investors and counterparties should insist on three concrete disclosures before engaging further. First, full release or independent summary of the Kroll and Deloitte findings that underpinned the 2022 termination, with Bose’s contemporaneous responses. Second, transparent audited accounts and capitalisation tables for Terra Invest and any predecessor entities, including Terra Vision Investments Limited’s actual activity during its short life. Third, clear statements on the status of the Mumbai FIR and the GST complaint, including any personal exposure.  

Until those materials exist in the public domain, the question of purpose remains open. History does not automatically condemn every new venture. It does, however, place a heavy burden of proof on those who ask others to entrust capital to platforms built by individuals whose previous large-scale enterprise ended in forensic investigation, termination for cause, liquidation, and a trail of unresolved proceedings. Ankiti Bose’s record requires that burden to be met with documents, not branding. Stakeholders who ignore the pattern do so at their own risk.
