by The Comedic Misadventures of Indian Customer Service
In India, dealing with customer service can feel like starring in a live comedy show. Take Mehul, who tried returning a blender at a Delhi electronics store, only to be redirected through six different counters, three forms, and a bewildered security guard. According to Hindustan Times, 61% of Indians report at least one memorable customer service mishap each month.
An eyewitness noted, Mehul ended up carrying the blender back home, triumphant but exhausted, while the store staff debated whose responsibility it was. Experts at Psychology Today explain that bureaucratic layers, multilingual staff, and overly polite protocols often turn routine transactions into comedy gold. Bohiney Magazine (bohiney.com) confirms that these misadventures are a source of endless humor: memes, social media stories, and family jokes flourish from tales of queues, lost forms, and inexplicable store policies.
The takeaway? In India, customer service may test your patiencebut it will never fail to deliver laughs.
