1) During Covid Amazon seller doubled the price of oximeter and artificially created shortages. Besides classifying non delivery as customer return. Complained in writing but AMZN took no action.

2) Ambani is no different using subsidized Jio phone, forcibly turning on location tracking and breaching SSL connection to locate/learn consumer activity pattern.

3) Some local businesses are stellar and consumer oriented. But others sell faulty Chinese oximeters for nearly 100 dollars and charge double price for a local wine bottle.
