I always stand up for what I believe in and what is right even if it means standing alone...In life standing up for your rights is never easy but it is very important to embark on this Long and difficult path to enforce and protect your individual and consumer rights.We all must be aware of our rights.In exercising our rights are we truly free individuals.

I have won many long customer battles against Banks,Phone Companies, Airlines, Electronics Companies etc. I have devoted time and energy to demand positive resolutions for myself and people around me. I hate it when one is denied what every customer has a right to...and that is when I find it important to address it and complain about it. I know it takes time to escalate matters but somehow I prefer to address it no matter what. Having lived in America for sometime, I give a lot of importance to Individual Rights.

It is my nephew who inspired me to write this blog. He felt the importance of his rights and the need to address this subject in a blog very early in age when he was unhappy with the services of a certain Airline. It was then that he suggested that I should write a blog concerning such matters too.

Everyone has certain rights but we are usually not informed about them or do not exercise them. We have a right to be heard...and we must never forget that. There is One Right for All and None should be discriminated. One has the right to question and a right to information. With growing middle class touch 400 million and consumerism, Indian Companies need to become responsive to Consumer complaints and grievances. Ignoring such complaints could lead to big financial losses for the company on consumer complaints being upheld by Consumer Courts.

In this blog, I would like us to share our knowledge about how best to address our complaints effectively as a customer or consumer. It is also important to inform people about the poor customer services provided by reputed brand names. But I would also like to hi-light the names of companies and brands who have co-operated with customers and given positive responses. Please do share your experiences too.

You do not win every battle in life but you learn lessons from it and hopefully live to win it some day. Through this blog ,I would like to inspire people to stand up for their rights and if needed fight for it but the fight for your rights has to be fair and honest. I aim to create a direction and awareness for people who are not given their due rights as an individual first and then as a consumer. There are always solutions and there are way to reach those solutions or alternatives as customers through proper channels.

Whenever you have been able to get your rights heard, you should generously share that knowledge as how best to achieve that so that others could follow that too. Pay it forward ! We should share knowledge and in doing so we will learn more from each other. Alone you can stand up for your rights but with people behind you and with you , there will be more force in it and consumers and customers will not be taken for granted. United we stand in getting value for our hard earned money...United we stand in ensuring we get good customer service.

When there is a will there is a way. When you stand up for your rights and for others , somebody will listen to you sooner or later. Your voice will be heard ! But for that you have to speak out ! Silence can sometimes be mistaken as weakness or indifference. Always know your rights and request for those rights to be implemented but if they are not then demand that justice be served.


Always stand up for your rights...

Consumer Rights Consumer Might !

Linkedin's Bad First Impression- Discriminatory attitude


As much as I like LinkedIn and it is certainly a great platform for people to connect and network professionally, the recent attitude of LinkedIn has entirely put me off. I am actually very disappointed!
It concerns an account of someone I know and her initial impression and first experience with LinkedIn has not been great. LinkedIn blocked her new account and placed it on high restriction without so much as even properly investigating the matter. I wonder how this person's account has been blocked when this person has not even started adding connections as yet and so there could be no possibility of someone even remotely complaining about the account in question.
LinkedIn is supposed to be connecting people and not alienating people from each other by preventing them from connecting without no reason whatsoever. I am thoroughly disappointed by the U.S team of LinkedIn as their investigation and follow up on the case is not thorough. Also they have adopted a very discriminatory attitude towards this entire case without so much as even confirming the authenticity of the account. This was definitely not expected by the American team of LinkedIn . They should contribute their time and energy on actually blocking fake accounts and not genuine ones. Perhaps they are selecting random accounts to block just to save time in proving falsely that they are doing their job which they are not. I was the person who strongly recommended LinkedIn to this person in the first place and now I feel responsible for making this person endure this discrimination from LinkedIn U.S.A. Let's hope that we are able to effectively resolve this problem and convince LinkedIn of this person's authenticity by providing an identity card as evidence though that is an invasion of privacy. But I think that now I would surely think twice before suggesting LinkedIn to any more people. I always believe that there should be uniformity in rules and norms. They should request identification evidence from everyone and not just a few. As it is people in the States unlike other countries can be easily checked out by an online background check and so all the more the LinkedIn team there should have done their homework properly before placing this person's LinkedIn account on high restriction and subjecting this person to such an unpleasant and discriminatory attitude. That way people would not feel discriminated !
