WITH INDIA GEARING up to elect 543 MPs to the Lok Sabha, election fever will soon be upon us.
The Aware Consumer would like to move the electoral narrative away from empty promises of electoral manifestos by presenting a consumer-driven manifesto!
Innovative way of cheating customers
Placed a @Swiggy order and got a Re.1 offer for @instamart_it. I selected one of the offered items, then had to order more to fulfil minimum cart limit
The order arrived without the Re.1 item! Out of stock is the lame excuse from the help desk
@SwiggyCares What nonsense!! I selected the Re. 1 item and then added the icecream
Anyway dont want to waste my time anymore….As usual you are trying to dupe genuine customers with fake offers!!

As consumers, we consider MRP to be fair and reasonable price.But is it truly the real price? How can sellers afford to offer dramatic discounts? Are we genuinely saving money on deals or responding to pricing psychology?
Decode the GREAT MRP SCAM
@bejonmisra#theawareconsumer
It’s second nature to check the MRP - We will not pay a rupee over the printed price. But, how many of us consider MAXIMUM the operative word?
It is being used as an illusion to inflate value and trap us in fake discounts
BEWARE!

I must confess that until recently I had never heard of Phool Dei, a spring festival that was celebrated yesterday in the villages of Uttarakhand.
Children gather fresh flowers from the hills and go from house to house placing them on doorsteps, offering a blessing for the household:
“Phool Dei, Chhamma Dei,
Deni Dwar, Bhar Bhakar…” roughly wishing the home prosperity.
In return they receive sweets.
It reminded me a little of Halloween in the U.S., where children go door to door saying “trick or treat.” But what a lovely contrast. Here the children arrive not threatening a prank, or asking first, but giving first. Flowers.
In an age when we speak so much about environmental consciousness, this graceful celebration of spring and nature deserves to be far more widely known.
Just as Holi travelled across India and the world, perhaps Phool Dei should too.
For me, the children of Uttarakhand are my #MondayMotivation
Happy World Consumer Rights Day!
Today, we celebrate the rights of consumers worldwide.
Let's use this day to advocate for stronger consumer protections and to empower consumers to make informed choices.

Given DGCA’s fiasco during the recent Indigo meltdown, we shine the light on the work of regulators - or lack of it!!
We don’t need new regulators anymore - we need the existing ones to pull up their socks and deliver their mandate!

It’s not just the system that is to blame - the buck stops with us, the PATIENTS!! Are we being vigilant enough? Are we taking the right medicines in right manner? Could self-medication be doing more harm than good?
READ n THINK!!

What happens when you cant trust something that claims to be ‘Made in India’ to actually be so? How low will businesses stoop just to make money?? Importing low quality goods and slapping on Indian labels is the heights of duplicity!
