-FULL DESCRIPTION OF INCIDENT
I had purchased a pair of Rodenstock lenses from Lenskart back in February from the Lenskart store in MG Road Pune.

Few months into purchasing it, the glasses fell from my study table onto the carpet 2 feet below. To my utter shock I realised the lenses had chipped at the corners. Anxious about the authenticity of the lenses through this minor mishap, I wanted to check for it's authenticity. However, due to the Covid-19 lockdown I wasn't able to visit the store earlier.

However, after checking the Rodenstock website, they stated that all their lenses had their logo laser printed onto the right corner of the lens. To my utter dismay, I realised that both of the lenses I had purchased from Lenskart were not watermarked.

However trusting Lenskart's brand image, I thought I'd wait and discuss the matter personally with the store before filing a complaint. However,
visiting them after the lockdown was called off, they rejected my plea and asked me to contact their customer service team. After the initial formalities of collecting data, the customer service reps stopped attending my calls, one of the executives even hung up my call.

This only raised by suspicion further that the product was counterfeited and apart from seriously tarnishing a global renowned player's image such as Rodenstock's, they refused to reach out to a customer. They were unwilling to entertain any further communication, though I had made efforts to connect with them. Hence, I was left with no other alternative but to go to consumer forum.

RESOLUTION: If not a refund, a new pair of authentic watermarked lenses.
