Img _what _is _CAI The past decade has witnessed a dramatic growth in consumerism in India. With the economic liberation implemented by the Government of India, as well as the emergence of India on the global trade stage, followed by a change in not only disposable incomes but also the attitude of the Indian consumer, the floodgates have opened for a deluge of products and services in every possible sector.

I had purchased a split a/c. From LG Electronics, through their franchisee Palaniappa Digital Shoppe, s1/s2, Sharmila st, GST road, Tambaram Sanatorium, Chennai-47, It was installed at my premises by LG's authorized service centre personnel After 5-6 days time, I noticed that there was no cooling and I immediately reported it to the seller.. Since then I am waiting for the seller shop/ LG electronics to repair or replace the machine. So far nothing has happened. Now the seller is asking me to contact the authorized service centre, they don't attend to the calls, by chance if they happen to attend them, they say that the concerned person is busy to talk to me or his personal assistant says he will talk to me later, which never happens."
