Times Of India Complaints & Reviews

A wrong complaint was printed in the times of india about our office that it produces pollution and releases chemicals while this is not at all true. My office is just a unit where photocopies and some of the plotters are there. Due to your wrong complaint we are facing a lot of problems. If you have any query you can even check it on google that what are unit is all about. (R-85 khirki ext malviya nagar). I need you to take strict action against the one who as complained wrong things about are office.

There may have been an ad published in your newspaper by isequalto company. I had applied for the job of content creator. I went to their andheri office thrice. Once for demo session and twice for creating content which was an interview. Indrani dey of isequalto group told me that she would let me know about the mobile app on which i could create content. But she turned hostile towards me and did not select me and will not give me work too. This means they are not genuine recruiters. They only want to trouble candidates and do not want to give job also. I will send you email communications between me and ms. Dey to analyse whether they are right or wrong in taking interviews and then rejecting. Hr isequalto

To me

Hello ma'am,

We requested you to sign an nda, not an agreement letter. It is a standard document that we require a person to sign before we discuss our product with them.

We evaluated the content you had prepared on the two days that you were here. We feel that there is a great learning curve required before your contributions are acceptable to be published on to the app. Hence we have taken a decision to not expand the team. I hope that explains our decision to you.

We appreciate the time and effort you took to meet us.

Regards,
Indrani

Sir,

I have subscribed to times of India newspaper for more than 5 years and my subscription ID is 29656458.

There seem to be a problem in their system or process or with their dealer that i am not receiving the daily newspaper since last 18 days, Because i raised complaint against them for not receiving newspaper on time, I have given a call to the contact number mentioned in the subscription paper and one RAM S picks and says team leader is out of office and cannot transfer my call to any other responsible person and gives lot of assurance without any outcome. This is the 10th time in the last 8 months that i had to reach TOI.

I am fed up with TOI, please help

I have also stated that if TOI finds it difficult to supply me the newspaper, they may very well refund me the amount.

Each and every staff at the Customer care office either doesn't pick up the call or picks up the call and names another person as in charge of the subscription.
Note:
Md Illiyas - Team leader Customer Service
Mohamed Yunus - Area Manager
Syed -
Murali - Distributor
Ram S - Tele caller
All the above people are useless and should be let go if they do not want to work in such a big organization. Bringing Shame to the Organization...

Will anyone in the administration dept please tell me if i can get the subscription through...or not?

I have subscribed to one year subscription for supply of time of india newspaper. I have received newspaper till july 2018 in-spite of my follow up for coupons with the person mr suraj he said that your coupons has been delivered in wrong address. We will provide you duplicate coupons with in week when i called him after one week he said give me one week more. After two weeks i called him again than he said i cant provide you coupons. I talked to complaint in charge mr. Shiva he said that i promise you i ll deliverer newspaper to your office till feb 2019. Again he was asking for time. I gave him both two weeks. But result was nothing. Even mr. Shiva was fighting with me that do whatever you want to do. Still i am facing this same problem. The problem is not solved. It is now more than a month since i paid advance subscription, but still not receiving newspaper. Please take immediate action to supply.

1. I purchased 2 nos kenstar jacussi kgs10wp-gde-10 litre 2000 watt storage water heaters through amazon on 08.11.2016
2. From day 1, these geysers were giving problems and the tanks were
Leaking.
3. I complained on 3 occasions and each time ther service engineer came and did some temporary, slipshod repair which lasted for a few weeks and the problem recurred again.
4. In april 2018, both the water heaters completely stopped working. I again raised complaint numbers che[protected] dated april 3, 2018 for both the water heaters.
5. The service engineer informed that the water tanks needed to be replaced and they will get them urgently to do the needful.
6. Since then i. E. Last 6 months no action has been taken and both the water heaters remain totally useless and non-functional.
7. The service engineer took both the heaters to the workshop, presumably repaired one of them but on installation, the same problem i. E. Leakage was observed. The heater was taken back by the engineer.
8. Since then, both the water heaters are with the service engineers and have not been repaired or returned.
9. Several complaints have been raised by me in this regard but all of no effect whatsoever. Some of the complaint references are :
Che [protected] dated 01.06.2018 and many more.

11. I have made more than 50 calls and sent almost 50 sms messages to various executives at various levels responsible for providing service. The persons repeatedly contacted by me are
Mr krishnakumar [protected] service in-charge

Mr ghiazuddin [protected] service in-charge

Mr mahesh [protected] service manager

Mr balasubramanian [protected] zonal head

Mr abhishek kumar [protected] national head

12. I have copies of all the smss sent by me to all the executives.

13. Another remarkable culture and practice of kenstar seems to be constantly avoiding calls by customers. I find this at all levels right from the service in-charge to the national head. They do not have the basic courtesy to take calls or call back or respond to messages. Totally disgusting.
14. In the last 6 months no action has been taken. This clearly shows the totally non-existent service support provided by kenstar. The customer is left totally high and dry. There is absolutely no sense of responsibility or commitment by you executives at all levels.
15. With such pathetic and shameful levels of support, i am now totally fed up and disgusted. I have absolutely no more patience to deal withkenstar's irresponsible service staff.
16. Since i have totally lost all confidence or faith in kenstar's product quality or support, i demand full refund for the products along with compensation for all the trauma and inconvenience caused to me. I am no longer interested in repair or replacement of the products.

I have subscribed to one year subscription for supply of time of india newspaper in the last week of august with a request to start supplies from 1.9.2018. Inspite of my follow up with the person collected cheque, the problem is not solved. The person's name is: mr. Venkat [protected]. He kept on telling that some code has to be generated at new delhi office, only after which the supplies would start. It is now more than a month since i paid advance subscription, but supply is yet to start. Please take immediate action to supply at least from 1/10/2018.

There is a single vendor for newspaper delivery in gurgaon vipul greens. He does not offer any discounts or schemes that are offered by the newspaper. On to of that there is no online way to subscribe to the print version of the newspaper.
I have searched the entire website of times group but can't find the way to subscribe to the print version of the newspaper.

Many people in the society ate unhappy because of this issue.
