Had a fantastic time presenting my #research at the @SFB1357 @unibt! Engaging with #researchers and exploring their labs was a highlight. Looking forward to reconnecting with them at #Micro2024 in Lanzarote next week! #microplastics @iitbmonash @LabNemo @MonashCivil @iitbombay

@Zoomcar__India For your information, that scratch was not made by me (I do have sufficient evidence for the same). Kindly refer the uploaded images, I can also share those images over an email. Why am I not able to connect and speak with customer support on this?

@Zoomcar__India, I reviewed the charges on your account and found that they are related to a damage fee of ₹2,999, which was applied due to damage discovered on the car after your trip. The security deposit was reduced by ₹1,000, leaving an outstanding amount of ₹1,999 that needs to be paid. This charge is valid, and you have already paid ₹599 for insurance. The policy details state that you are responsible for paying ₹2,999 in case of any incidents. I kindly request that you clear the outstanding charges so that we can proceed with any future bookings. Michael, Zoomcar Care Team

@Zoomcar__India I recently booked a car using your platform. After the trip, hosts reported damages which seemed likely done by them before our trip or after the trip. I raised the dispute but no response from your customer support. Please do the needful.

@Zoomcar__India Still no response from your end @Zoomcar__India

@ThePrashee @Zoomcar__India, I request you to share the booking details for which the host has disputed the damages. This will help us proceed further.

@Zoomcar__India I wanted to make a new booking, but this outstanding payment stands inbetween

@Zoomcar__India Booking ID: JPSNK2ULE please expedite this matter on an urgent basis. Despite having insurance, I am still asked to pay 3K for 2 minor scratches which is not even caused by me.

@Zoomcar__India I am yet to receive any response from your end

@ThePrashee @Zoomcar__India, I'll assist you with the dispute you've raised. Please share the ticket ID for this case so I can validate and resolve it promptly. Michael, Zoomcar Care Team

@Zoomcar__India Hi Michael, Thank you for the message. There's no ticket ID I can find. I received only a ticket raise acknowledgement email. Regards, Prasanth

@rpomumbai @passportsevamea Appreciate the response. Powai Police Station explicitly confirmed they've cleared and sent the report to PSK Andheri. It's been 2 months since my appt (May 5, 2025) and still stuck. Your urgent intervention is vital.

@ThePrashee @passportsevamea The application was held up due to police report, which required further review and process at RPO Mumbai. We are looking into the matter.

@rpomumbai My passport renewal (File No: BO2070960580025) is stuck despite clear police verification from Powai PS. Status says "not clear" & it's under review. Applied May 5, 2025 at PSK Andheri. Facing urgent travel needs for my career. Kindly expedite! @passportsevamea

@DeniseMitrano Wish you good luck in future endeavours @DeniseMitrano ! Hope to work with you soon

As my last workday at ETH Zürich, there are a big mix of emotions. I'm looking forward to new challenges and adventures (more info to come soon!), but at the same time sad to say goodbye to my awesome team, colleagues near and far, and Zürich (though, I'll stay in Switzerland!).
