Make appliance servicing efficient
I think for small appliances 90% of Indians get their appliances repaired locally rather than trying to find out where is the service center for a kettle and mixi. These service centers are highly inefficient and time consuming and hence people get repairs done locally.
Can BIS make some standards where the appliance makers service network is required to come home pick and repair the appliance and deliver it.
Even if its not mandatory, it will be big differentiator for brand offering such a service. more

Actually the calls to Sales Department and Service Department are really Contrasing . If you dont get a sales call , there is a call from there promptly and they haunt you ill you buy . Not so after payment is made , as there ends the contact with the sales Department . Service side always ducks from the complaints and delay the visits or even attending calls as friends have mentioned . I THINK WE MUST ALSO DEVELOP STRATEGIES LIKE GETTING THE NUMBER BEFORE MAKING PAYMENT AND MAKE A TRIAL CALL TO CHECK IF WE GET " YOU ARE IN Q, OUR EXECUTIVES ARE BUSY ". more
