[Resolved]  Brands Academy — Education Fraud

Address:

South Delhi, Delhi

This is to bring to your kind attention an education fraud that could prove devastating for the future of India’s most valuable assets i.e. India’s youth. The fraud involves a branding and research company with the name of Brands Academy, headed by Mr. Rishu Monga and Mr. Sanjay Kumar. It organizes awards with the name of Education Excellence Awards every year and has many big names from the HRD ministry and media as the participants and sponsors. It supposedly honours the deserving institutions and educationists but in actuality, the awards are given to institutions that are ready to spend big money for the promotion of their educational entities. There is no basis of selection of the winners and to tell you frankly, the awards are sold by Brands Academy and are bought by educational institutions. This is a criminal act that is indirectly influencing the younger generation to choose average or not so good institute and taking away its right to quality education. The results of this fraud can be appalling and unimaginable for the youth as well as country’s progress. The company has been cheating people for the past three to four years. In addition to this fraud, the company has gone a bit too far to meet its greed by not paying the salaries of a bunch of its employees and even closed the Noida office with the name of Brand Innovations Group (3rd Floor Stellar IT Park Sector-62) on 8th March. The office remained closed for more than a week and they left somewhere without notifying anyone. These employees have been made to wait for more than a month and have still not been given any clarification on their salaries. Instead, they have been threatened by Mr. Rishu Monga that they will not be paid any salary and will have to pay for everything they are doing to get what they deserve. The employees have now lodged a legal complaint against the company in Labour’s court and Police Station, Noida. So, it’s a request to you to not be a part of such an event that is unethical and fraudulent in its conceptualization. In case you are a part or are somehow related to this event or company, you should immediately take your terms and actions back, so that you are not a victim of them.
