🚨CCB Raids Expose Counterfeit Products worth ₹95 Lakh in Bengaluru 🚨 Central Crime Branch busted a well-established counterfeiting network operating in Bengaluru for the past five years.⚠️ The gang targeted everyday products like Surf Excel, Vim liquid, Red label Tea Powder and many others from Hindustan Unilever and Reckitt Benckiser. Following the complaints registered by the brands, CCB raided multiple locations seizing counterfeits worth ₹95 lakh. 😨 Tbh, It’s frightening to know that the gang has been operating for the past 5 years and yet we only came to know about it now. And I am sure they are not the only ones active. It is terrifying to imagine the millions worth of fake products swarming the market waiting to deceive innocent customers. As the founder of a brand committed to authenticity and consumer trust, we stand strong in our values of safeguarding our customers against counterfeit goods. 💯 Let us all work together in promoting transparency and trustworthiness in the marketplace.💪 #consumer #trust #fakes #awareness

🎯Privacy is myth in this digital era …. (Check out this Infographics) Is #privacy a concern yet in India? Let us question ourselves, are we not really enjoying the targeted marketing ads we get? If not, how many of us have proactively taken the concern to the consumer forum complaining on privacy breach? Why do we blame when we let it happen and then watch it go right in front of our eyes? It’s just that we are all used to waiting for someone to wake up! Which indeed is a myth, not many a times someone has woken up. They feed on our hashtag#data, this market is like that! 🔔 Stay connected for industry’s latest content – Follow Dr. Anil Lamba, CISSP #linkedin #teamamex #JPMorganChase #cybersecurity, #technologycontrols, #infosec, #informationsecurity, #GenAi #linkedintopvoices, #cybersecurityawareness #innovation #techindustry #cyber #birminghamtech #cybersecurity #fintech #careerintech #handsworth #communitysupport #womenintech #technology #security #cloud #infosec #riskassessment #informationsecurity #auditmanagement #informationprotection #securityaudit #cyberrisks #cybersecurity #security #cloudsecurity #trends #grc #leadership #socialmedia #digitization #cyberrisk #education #Hacking #privacy #datasecurity #passwordmanagement #identitytheft #phishingemails #holidayseason #bankfraud #personalinformation #creditfraud

At WAIOZ Consultancy Services Pvt Ltd's stall at StartupTN thiruvizha, when speaking with a few physical store owners about adding an online sales channel, their biggest concern was clear: the cost and complexity of handling product returns. For many, the idea of managing high return volumes and the associated costs is enough to deter them from exploring online sales. At first, I tried to assure them that adding an online channel could increase sales volume and drive topline growth. But I realized this wasn’t enough to address their core concerns around returns. Curious to dig deeper, I started researching how larger brands manage returns. I spoke with friends in the industry, and a common theme emerged: returns are more than a logistical challenge—they’re a goldmine of data. By analyzing returns, these brands gather actionable insights to fuel sales and marketing strategies. They understand customer preferences, improve product descriptions, and refine their offerings based on real data. 🎯 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗥𝗲𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗻𝘀 𝗔𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘆𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀: • 📊 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗹 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 Analyzing returns across sales channels (online, in-store, mobile) helps identify where products resonate best, opening up targeted marketing and optimized channel strategies. • 🔍 𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿 𝗕𝗲𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗼𝗿 & 𝗥𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 Returns reveal important insights into customer preferences, especially for new buyers. By adjusting product descriptions, sizing, and other factors based on returns feedback, businesses can increase retention and build customer loyalty. • 📦 𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 Forecasting inventory becomes easier with returns data. It reduces risks of overstocking or stock-outs and helps manage warehousing costs more effectively, particularly for next year’s Black Friday. • 🛠️ 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 Frequent returns of specific products can spotlight needed adjustments—whether it’s refining product specs, packaging, or descriptions. Improving these factors can reduce future returns and enhance the customer experience. These insights highlight an important point for small businesses: returns, while challenging, offer valuable information that can enhance decision-making and optimize future sales. With the right approach, embracing online sales isn’t just about growing topline revenue; it’s about leveraging data to build a smarter, more resilient business.

Odaclass - Pure Negligence . Online Education and Consumer forums in India to support Customer frustration, please note this. I enrolled my daughter in OdaClass for her Grade 9 tuitions and backed off in just 5 days due to valid reasons. This is very well under refund timelines as per company website, but refund has not been processed even after 3 months and 10 days. Still no signs of resolution. This is completely unacceptable and I pitty the situation of customers like me who have no means of strong jurisdication to punish such service providers. I have been tortured multiple times by their mentors asking everytime for reason for refund and saying its impossible. While no one from Support team calls me, mentors have put me to mental torture for the past 2.5 months, with no light of refund till now, inspite of furnishing the transaction and all details in email to oda support team. Refer to the mail snapshot images attached along with dates.1st july course commenced and I have initiated refund on 6th July. #OdaClass #oda #ConsumerRights #ConsumerForum #GrievanceRedressal #OnlineEducation #RefundIssue #EdTech #EducationConsumerRights #MyRightToRefund #NCDRC #ConsumerProtectionIndia #ComplaintRedressal #IndiaConsumerForum #RBI @NCDRC @RBI

A business without ‘purpose’ is like a ship without a compass- directionless and or rather, lost! If you agree with me, do check out my recent interaction with Authority Magazine – a Medium publication, where I delve into the pivotal role of 'Purpose-Driven Enterprises' by citing key insights from the founding vision of Doceree and my personal learnings as an entrepreneur. I further explain how new-age businesses can invite visibility for their solutions in today’s competitive market with a visionary approach aimed at creatively solving human problems. https://lnkd.in/gmtEPaps #media #interview #medium #authority #purposebeforeprofit #enterpreneur #problemsolving
