I strongly think that all youngsters need to bring this company to justice in their respective states.I am also a victim.We all are trying for a good job after years of studying hard and finally getting cheated.Our country is not doing anything to curb this...Foreigners think that India is great but its citizens themselves are helpless and suffering...I really want to start a movement or a site where we can bring such people under law.If anyone of you is brave enough to go forward and fight mail me on [protected]@yahoo.com...

I totally agree with every1.
i think no company's recruitment process can go as long as equal to 3-4 months.and still going on. till now, i have recieved about 50 emails from elite mgt chandigarh, for being shortlisted for interview. and such emails are being sent to all, ALL, ALLLLL of my friends.
if it is such a big company, and wanting to expand in india, then why they don't go to big B- Schools for recruitment processes?
their strategy goes like this : send emails to freshers(MBA's) for interview, select most of them. show them a lollypop of salary of 8-10 lakhs p. a. after 8 months training, in lust, take work from them like salesman for many months, in the name of training. after that half of them will leave it halfway, and then select handful from them as Bm(not sure). it is a good way to recruit salesman. isn't it. because salary paid during training is like commission from sales only.
my performance in observation round was very bad, still i got selected, why??? they were getting a MBA salesman.!!! they know that in lust for 8-10 lakh salary, they will take work from me, and afterwards say that still my skills are not good, and enhance my training period. meanwhile their product is selling na. !!
well hats off to that person who invented this idea of recruitment process to fool people.

Guys, I worked their for two months, in Mumbai. Sep 2008 to Nov 2008. It's basically an organisation running their business worldwide, by tying up with different NGOs. Here, you have go to door to door (both in commercial and residential areas) and approach peaple for fund, for those NGOs. If they get convinced and issue you a cheque in the name of the NGO, a certain percentage goes to you, some to your immediate supervisor, some to the so called director of 'NIRVANA' Mr. Sukesh Khanna and some to the company in whole. If still there is some balance left in the fund that you have collected from the donor, then it’s go to the agency.
Trust me, you have no future in that company, it’s kind of cheat fund. You do work, but if people ask you, what do you do? You don’t have a answer then. No fixed salary is there. You work hard, but if at the end of the day you are not able find some donor, then you return empty handed. I earned some 10K in those days, and have not yet received the cheque.
However, it was great that I finally left the company, may be it was out of anxiety or frustration, but eventually it was good.
Don’t get into the trap if you still have time.

Cobra group & Appco is a genuine Company.They Dont Cheat people.They just teach people to become Self Independent.They bring best out of person & teach people right attitude & Make them strong.
They have made life of so many people.90%People who have worked with this group & left are sucessfull because the system in Cobra Group is really Good.
When it comes to sales they dont teach people to con, neither they con customers.Infact they help clients finding good customers.
People who feel that they have been cheated by this company, their mentality is wrong.You get paid for the effort put by you not for your negative mentality.
I was part of appco & worked with Tony/Kishore & i m proud of that.Today i m sucessful in my field because they thought me how to win & fight in tough situation.(Firoz Shaikh)Owner of Executive search Firm.

Hey thanks guys, i got a mail stating dat my resume has been short listed, my self felt very happy and groomed well for the intreview.I have gone to hyderguda office in hyderabad and i was shocked while i had a look at the office atmosphere.The lady who is sitting in the front office has placed her keyboard on her lap instead of maintaining the computer table.A guy came and cald my name and i thought he would be taking me to his boss and i was surprised he is da man who is taking my round.He asked my name and started telling about their company and told that he is going to pay 15000pm.He completed his history of da company and told dat i will b getting a call for da second round.I rushed to my house and opened the site and came to know the dirty facts of the company by everyone who posted their valuable comments.I had a call in evening stating dat i have selected for the second round on da next day which i have not attended.Thanks to every one...bye...sudhir
I worked for this company year back. Was studying at that time, thought of getting some pocket money. Here is my experience.
I went through the routine process, got selected ( better to say got fooled :P ). Started working very hard thinking I could make good money being an under graduate. For few days was happy. But later as time went I started understanding what exactly the company is. Some may feel its a cheat company and some may feel its amazing. I am neutral.
After working there for 2months I can only say that place is good for a fresher. Once you graduate go to that company and work for a month or two. You will learn lots of things ( I have, a lot ). Got good confidence, witty way to answer questions, etc. Instead of looking it as waste of time go for the positive way.Look it as investment. Learn and leave the place.
But if you stay thinking you can be a manager in 1year, you are a fool.

Don't fall in to their trap and get fooled as I did 3 years back. I was Btech electronics and wasted my precious 6 months earning 4-5 thousand a month after working for 10 to 12 hours doing door to door selling of a NGO called CRY. I am guiding you as a friend so please don't fall into this crap. Get a good job in IT or Computer Industry as per your qualification.

Hi ! I Also worked with this organisation in 2008. I worked with a franchisee of this group called ENIGMA in Mumbai. It was at Andheri east Marol. I didn't have a bad experience . It was a good learning experience i wud say. Since i read about peope writing about business owners, I'd like to mention that my manager was Nikunj Barrot. Nice guy. any one heard of him ?His Promoting owner was Sukesh.. I had to leave due to my personal problems..

I was there to attend the interview at Alchemist India Corporation...which they claimed to be a SBU of Appco group of Company which is a unit of Cobra Group...(isnt there too many units and divisions??)
This company tries to evade your queries and just tell you that their organization is built under some 5 steps of success and they are collecting donations for CRY...
Pl Note: CRY forms are available online and the minimum amount to sponsor a child is Rs 1800. This Company has form which says the minimum support amount for a child is Rs 1200. I am very sure CRY doesnt raise fund for the welfare o[censored]nderpriviledged through any 3rd Party.
Alchemist is says they have started operations in June 2010 in Delhi. I dont find any where any information regarding this organization. If this organization is a year old then they must have some financials and annual reports showing their business development. But their is no such things published. If a company is registered under the companies act in india they have to publish their books of accounts and get audited.
There is another company running along the same principles of Alchemist they are called as the Rennaissance Organization. This company claims to be working for more than 2 years and till date their is no website about this organization neither they have their books of Accounts audited. Both the companies say they r SBU of Appco Group and Cobra Groups of Companies and are into direct sales and marketing. On the induction they talk only about their clients. Most of the names they are using are that of the fortune 500 companies. But when it comes to operations they say they are working on project CRY and Help Age India.
These companies has no transparency and makes you join once you qualify their interview process on urgent basis.The urgency is so high that you are made to join the day next your interview is conducted and you are neither offered your offer letter/joining letter nor you are told the exact basic remuneration you are going to draw from the company. Please make your self aware of this fradulent company. I am posting the copy of the interview call letter I received from them which made me attend their interview a day's training.
