Silva Method (GB) Ltd wishes to inform our students, graduates, and the community of ongoing concerns related to the promotion of Silva Method-branded services via a new website and individuals no longer affiliated with us.
On 4th December 2024, Mr. Aktar Chowdhury’s role as a certified Silva Method instructor was officially terminated by Silva Method (GB) Ltd due to multiple contractual breaches, including:
As part of his termination, Mr. Chowdhury was legally reminded of his obligations — including a non-compete clause and restrictions on using any Silva Method intellectual property, student data, or operational material obtained during his tenure.
Importantly, Silva International was made aware of Mr. Chowdhury’s misconduct at the time — and he was subsequently removed from their official instructor directory, following communication from then-director Gabriel Ostend, who personally raised concerns about Mr. Chowdhury’s conduct.
We have since observed that Mr. Chowdhury is now operating as Director of a new website — silvamethoduk.com — which presents itself as a provider of Silva Method courses in the UK.
The branding and structure of this site closely mirror that of Silva Method (GB) Ltd, raising significant concerns regarding the unauthorised use of materials, format, and possibly student data. The legitimacy and oversight of this operation are currently being formally challenged by our company, and the matter is now part of an active legal dispute.
Silva Method (GB) Ltd is the legal custodian of student and client data gathered through its operations in the UK. We operate in full compliance with UK data protection laws and take the misuse of personal data extremely seriously.
We have reason to believe that individuals involved in the new website may be improperly using contact data acquired while affiliated with Silva Method (GB) Ltd, in violation of their legal obligations.
If you are contacted unexpectedly by someone claiming to offer Silva Method services, we strongly advise you to:
Silva Method (GB) Ltd urges its student community and the general public to exercise caution and refrain from engaging in transactions with silvamethoduk.com or its affiliated personnel, pending resolution of this matter.
If you’ve received unsolicited messages or suspect that your data has been used without your consent, please report it to us:

We thank you for your ongoing support. Silva Method (GB) Ltd is committed to protecting its community, maintaining transparency, and ensuring that the Silva Method continues to be delivered with professionalism and integrity in the UK.
