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 !

Airtel Story

 Airtel Connectivity is Questionable ! 


Airtel basically does not deliver what they promise in terms of internet speed and connectivity! And speed test in every room will prove that. Airtel does not do anything to resolve the poor and scattered Wi-Fi connectivity and leaves one no choice but to buy a booster from them. 


Airtel should be rewarding its customers for their loyalty but “Airtel Thanks” does not actually give much benefits. They should give discount on plans or give free boosters to customers who are experiencing Wi-Fi connectivity problems particularly when their tech team is not able to resolve these problems. Frankly their tech team is just not equipped to handle complaints professionally specially because their approach and attitude is just so wrong ! I am quite disappointed with their customer service -phone & house calls. These days the customers know more about how to resolve technical issues on their home devices than the company technicians. Calling these technicuans be it from Airtel or Sony is just sheer waste of time ! Better to get indeoendent technicians !


All the Airtel customers are not only facing internet connectivity problems but also having bad mobile connectivity. I have researched about it in my circle. Companies like Airtel take advantage of the comfort zone and loyalty of Indian customers knowing very well that their customers will not try out other companies or port their mobile numbers that easily. 


Perhaps we as consumers love challenges and have got used to endure a lot as we don’t stand up for our consumer rights! Or we as consumers just don’t have the time and energy to waste to confront these companies who cheat us and take us for granted as loyal customers. We are one of those so called loyal customers for Airtel for so many years that I have lost count of it. All out mobiles and internet are connected with Airtel. But the time has arrived to try another company. I hear that Jio is better and offers great plans !
