Boston Luxury Brothel Scandal: Indian-origin CEO of clean water startup Gradiant Anurag Bajpayee has been arrested in the United States for allegedly paying for services at high-end brothels. Anurag Bajpayee was among dozens of individuals named in court documents accused of paying hundreds of dollars per hour for sex work, as per a report in the New York Post. 

The elite client list included doctors, lawyers, public officials, and government contractors, as per the report. The investigation revealed that the men allegedly paid up to $600 per hour for sex with predominantly Asian women.

Anurag Bajpayee is the CEO of Gradiant. He has a PhD in Mechanical Engineering from MIT and began his career with research roles at MIT and the University of Missouri. Following his arrest, Gradiant faced internal pressure, including calls for Anurag Bajpayee’s resignation. 

The company issued a statement defending its CEO and said, " We believe in the justice system and are confident that this will resolve favourably in due course. Unrelated to this, Gradiant will continue to pursue excellence in technological innovation and to strive towards our mission to ensure clean water for all society."
