Warning: Misleading Services & No Accountability—Refund Demanded
I’m writing this review after a frustrating and disappointing experience with Egniol (EGINOL)—a company that claims to help startups and MSMEs secure government grants and funding.
In December 2024, I was approached by their Sales Head, Yogesh Khatri, who confidently promised end-to-end support in securing financial assistance for my startup, Epic Gymnastics Academy. Based on his assurance, I paid ₹35,400 (incl. 18% GST).
However, the moment the payment was made, Yogesh completely stopped responding to calls, emails, and messages. Despite several follow-ups, there was no progress, no guidance, and no accountability.
The company's Directors — Udhvik Pandya, Mrugarajsinh Jadeja, and Bhavin Rangjibhai Bhabhor — must be held responsible for this lack of transparency and service. It is unacceptable for a company dealing with entrepreneurs to operate this way. I demand a complete refund of the amount paid, as no service was rendered and all commitments were unfulfilled.
To make matters worse, I later got selected for the NSRCEL – Foundations of Entrepreneurship programme on my own, without any help from Egniol. I completed the full 6-week programme independently, fulfilling all their criteria — something Egniol never even mentioned or supported. They failed to inform, guide, or assist, despite their professional responsibility and my upfront payment.
This is not just poor service — it’s unethical. I urge Egniol and its directors to take accountability and refund the ₹35,000 immediately.
To all fellow founders and MSME owners:
Please be cautious before trusting consulting firms like Egniol. Always validate credentials and seek direct access to incubation programmes like those from NSRCEL, DST, SIDBI, and other government-backed platforms.
Let this review serve as a warning. Entrepreneurs deserve transparency and trust — not exploitation.
