@airtelindia Still haven’t received any calls.

[Rahul Ravichandran @owletguardian]

@airtelindia @Airtel_Presence absolutely disappointed with your customer care engineers. I had probs with the WiFi, reported it yesterday and your engineer made it worse. After 30 mins on hold today, customer cares tells me it will take another day. A joke. Moving to jio.

[Rahul Ravichandran @owletguardian]

@Airtel_Presence I’ve shared contact info on direct message. Waiting for callback.

Peekaboo! #indianchameleon from Tadoba - peaking through the leaves to see if the photographer has left yet.

End of the year or the beginning of another? Only people care. It’s all the same for nature.

@airtelindia @Airtel_Presence
No network for fiber connection since yesterday evening in Pashan, #pune No option to contact customer care either. Absolutely stupid system you have for complaints.

Getting ready for a mid week birding trip. No sleep, but plenty of excitement!

@FujifilmXIndia Part 6: They refuse to clean up the dust they introduced during their horrible service, and offer 6 month warranty and waiving of their service charges. Wow! I am demanding a replacement of the lens that you maliciously damaged and refuse to properly address. @FujifilmXIndia

[Rahul Ravichandran @owletguardian]

@FujifilmXIndia I have been absolutely disgusted with your service. My xf 100-400 has been in service for almost 6.5 months now due to the service centres incompetence. And the responses to it have been gaslighting, excuses and straight up ignoring requests. Part 1

[Rahul Ravichandran @owletguardian]

@FujifilmXIndia Part4: the “head” for @FujifilmXIndia Maharashtra/Goa contacted me when I escalated and blamed me for not contacting him earlier- is it my fault that you can’t properly manage a service center?! And 2 days after the escalation the lens is magically “fixed”

[Rahul Ravichandran @owletguardian]

@FujifilmXIndia Part4: I escalated again and requested help from anyone other than Rajendhra (Fuji Maharashtra) and finally got someone who could talk sensibly. But again, it’s not satisfactory- out of the 9k+ they forced me to spend, I will be compensated 2k.

[Rahul Ravichandran @owletguardian]

@FujifilmXIndia Part 3: The service technician Rupesh lied and did a horrible job on it with no communication and brushing off issues saying it’s not a problem and “worked” on the lens for 6 months. I have lost all confidence in the @FujifilmXIndia service center Mumbai. Stay away from them!

[Rahul Ravichandran @owletguardian]

Leaf or bird? Why not both?! #JerdonsLeafbird from Munnar. Shot in 2021 I think, probably some of the last photos I will post taken with the @FujifilmXIndia XT3 and XF 100-400 lens
