Harsha Bhogle calls out HP India for dismal after-sales service
There haven't been many instances when the veteran commentator has expressed his displeasure about something publically. However, on Thursday, Bhogle was furious with information technology company HP India for not assisting him with an issue despite contacting HP India support repeatedly.
The 59-year old took to Twitter and posted a series of tweets where he slammed HP for their awful after-sales service. Bhogle said that despite being polite with the HP India support and contacting them time and again, his issue hasn't been resolved. He also called out the company for false promises. Here' a look at Harsha Bhogle's tweets.
I don't normally like to rant about brands in public but I have no option now having gone through the @HPIndia call centre, their service centre, DMs on twitter, email, false promises, everything. Their after sales (TVS) is callous, incompetent and very very frustrating.

If you want to be really cruel, if you dislike someone, gift them an #HP laptop & hope something goes wrong while in guarantee. Then sit back and watch as they search for service centres who don't answer calls, a 1800 service where after all the prompts they are told to call back

Then the battery will be sent from somewhere to somewhere by pigeon mail and the pigeon will be untraceable, they will get the standard, meaningless "sorry" emails, promises of prompt action and "escalating" the issue.

The saddest part is that when I have been polite with @HPIndia and #TVS Support, nothing has moved. When I have been rude, there is a scramble and then nothing till I have to be rude again. They don't keep their word and don't respond to polite queries.

For a global brand @HP, your after sales service is perplexingly shoddy and so uncaring. Disgraceful is another word that comes to mind. Good after sales strengthens relationships, you are ruining it. @HPIndia And less said about the #TVS Service Centres the better.

As soon as Harsha Bhogle's tweets went viral, HP India was prompted to reply. Responding to Bhogle's tweet, HP India apologised for the unpleasant experience. They assured Bhogle that the case had been escalated and his issue will be resolved on priority by Thursday itself.
Our sincere apologies for the unpleasant experience Harsha.

This took longer time than expected to resolve. Case is already escalated and the same will be addressed on priority by today.
Your patience is highly appreciated.
