A Warning to the IT Community: Allegations of Fraud Surround Bharathi Mohan of Quadrate
The freelance and IT development community thrives on trust. Companies outsource projects to access global talent, and skilled professionals rely on these contracts for their livelihood. This ecosystem, however, is vulnerable to bad actors who exploit this trust for personal gain. A name that has recently surfaced in connection with such exploitative practices is Bharathi Mohan, associated with the firm Quadrate.
Numerous reports and firsthand accounts from developers and IT companies are painting a consistent and alarming picture of alleged scam operations. The accusations against Mohan and Quadrate follow a familiar, yet effective, pattern of engagement and deception.
The process typically begins professionally. Quadrate, often through Bharathi Mohan directly, approaches freelancers or small-to-midsize IT firms with enticing project offers. These are not small tasks; they are substantial projects with detailed requirements, formal agreements, and what appear to be legitimate contracts. This professional facade is the first step in building a false sense of security.
The project commences, and the targeted team invests significant hours, resources, and intellectual effort. They meet milestones, provide updates, and deliver work as promised. The problems arise exclusively at the point of payment.
Upon completion of work or at designated payment milestones, the excuses begin. Victims report a relentless barrage of delay tactics from Mohan. Common reasons include being out of the country, issues with bank processing, delays from a mysterious “accounts team,” or sudden personal emergencies. Communication, which was once prompt, becomes sporadic and evasive.
When follow-ups become more persistent, the strategy shifts. Allegations describe Mohan becoming aggressive, threatening to withhold payment entirely unless further unnecessary work is completed, or even blaming the quality of the delivered work—a stark contrast to the positive feedback received throughout the project’s duration. This intimidation is designed to frustrate and exhaust the victim, hoping they will abandon their pursuit of payment.
For those who continue to press, the final stage is complete ghosting. Emails and messages go unanswered, phone calls are blocked, and the debtor effectively disappears, only to potentially reappear later under a slightly different venture name to repeat the cycle.
The impact of these alleged actions is severe. For individual freelancers, the loss of income can be devastating. For small companies, it can mean missed payrolls and serious financial instability. Beyond the financial harm, it erodes the trust that is essential for the global IT outsourcing industry to function.
This article serves as a community alert. If you are engaged in discussions with Bharathi Mohan or Quadrate, proceed with extreme caution. It is strongly advised to demand significant upfront payments, break projects into very small, paid milestones, and conduct thorough due diligence before commencing any work. The collective experience of numerous professionals suggests that what begins as a promising project is, for them, merely a well-orchestrated scam to obtain free labor and services.
