All accounts seem to exist mainly to edit this page: Ankiti Bose. Details below:

Group 1
Citationfixer  First added awards for Ankiti Bose’s page. That was the last edit on the account, which leads me to believe it’s a SPA with COI.

Callmemarcel The summary in this edit appears to refer to some “PR” by the subject or it’s company (?). The same account also uploaded several copyrighted images of the article subject on commons.

Sylvialim95 Has no other edits apart from the subject.

Mahdhir Another SPA, only 1 edit about the article subject.

Deceptrix This account’s edit is to add an image and other specific information about the subject, which suggests close connection with the subject

WPABZ This SPA exclusively edits about the subject.

Group 2
Connection with Group 1 is the same pattern where accounts are either SPA, or mainly edit about the subject's company,Zilingo.

Ericlah Last edit is an update on the subject's company.

Sorabh743 Same as above, last edit is about the subject's company.

TusharGidwani95 SPA edited the subject's company.

Ch9may Last edit is the subject's company.

Thecrownjewel Appears to have COI with other articles it started. Possibly been paid to edit the subject's company page.

Another possible sock master
''If technically possible and not stale, see if it's connected to the following account as well. It's because it created the company page for the subject. ''

ChristopherWilliams If possible, perhaps worth looking into whether the group could be associated with this at all (if not stale?) See: Sockpuppet investigations/DongLee. This account created the article for the subject's company.

 * I looked at group 1. This is all rather pointless since they're all throw-away account, but I've blocked and tagged everybody in that group based on obvious behavioral similarities.  If not socks, then certainly meat. -- RoySmith (talk) 00:36, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Looking at group 2, yeah, probably sock/meat/UPE/whatever throw-away accounts, but no obvious connection to Citationfixer, and they're all long dormant, so closing with no further action., there's really not much point to opening an SPI on accounts which haven't edited in many months.  It takes time to investigate them, and that's time that could be better spent combating active socking. -- RoySmith (talk) 12:14, 2 September 2020 (UTC)

 * I think them being an SPA on Ankiti Bose and performing a bunch of "touchups" on the article is enough to call Izebs probably related. . GeneralNotability (talk) 14:28, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
