"This is in relation to the News Reports and Stories being telecasted,
streamed and published at various modes of print and electronic media
regarding some alleged Defence Deal of Agusta VVIP Helicopters.
To my great shock and disbelief, in the news articles/clippings/stories, my name is also emerging as a person involved in the deal. I emphatically state that I have no role at all in any defence deal of any nature whatsoever with any party/company.
I am a lawyer by profession and not a businessman as has been stated in the news stories/articles. I strongly deny all such allegations and insinuation of my having any direct/indirect involvement in any defence deals along with the alleged deal of VVIP helicopters.
Other than what I read in the newspapers about this deal, I have no information about this deal or any other defence deal. There is no question of any wrongdoing. I and my firm are acting as the lawyers for Aeromatrix for the limited purpose of helping the company with its statutory compliances in India and some other petty day-today matters.
We have been paid remuneration for our legal services provided to the Company. Aeromatrix is completely an IT company having approx. 50-55 employees."

Praveen Bakshi, CEO, Aeromatrix Info Solutions (P) Ltd. Denies Any Link With VVIP Chopper Deal Irregularities
"With regards to the various news reports published in the print media
and electronic media, I Praveen Bakshi seek to clarify that there is no
involvement of mine or of the company Aeromatrix of which I am the
principal officer, with any defence dealings and particularly that of
the VVIP helicopter purchase by the Govt of India.
I manage the day to day affairs of Aeromatrix which is involved in
provision of virtual engineering support services. The company which
started with 50 employees today has about 70 employees on its roles. All
business transactions of the company with its customers are completely
accounted for and transparent.
I once again reiterate that there is no connection of mine with any corrupt practices whether in India or overseas."
