I had enrolled for the Apex Program on 06-Aug-2021 by going through the advertisement on Facebook because of the claims of the program whereby Mr. Sawan Kapoor states that by enrolling for his program the participants would get 3 times the current salary and 4 job offers every single weekend. It obviously would be music to anybody’s ears when they hear such things. But at the end of the program, I obviously realized that I had made a blunder by enrolling for this course because of the misleading claims and massive mis selling by Mr. Sawan.
I had joined the program by paying Rs 499 initially for a 4-hour live training program and then there was upselling of his future courses where I paid Rs 9, 999 for 2 days training and then I again enrolled for his program where I paid Rs 99, 999 for a 3-month advanced program.
But I did not experience anything of the sort as mentioned in his advertisement. Forget 3x salary and 4 job offers every single weekend, I did not even receive a job with 3% salary hike and not a single job offer after paying his huge fee. I did not benefit from this program in any way and it was a total waste of time and money. During the course of the program Mr. Sawan used to boast about his success rate, sometimes saying that the success rate was 98% and even going to the extent of saying that everyone in the previous batches has found success and received a job. But I highly suspected his words and was sure that they are pure lies. I decided to get in touch with some of the participants in the group and came to know that not a single person from the group has benefited from this program. I had a close acquaintance in the group who already had huge loans to be repaid and he took another loan to enroll for this program and he was distressed when Mr Sawan’s program failed him. The amount of Rs 1 lakh paid is obviously not a small amount for middle-class persons who had enrolled for this program with their hard-earned money with dreams of getting 3x salary in their eyes.
I was unemployed at that time and was looking for the program to help me out. But the program was a big letdown and highly misleading and did not benefit me in getting a job and am still unemployed. I invested my time and money which was a big waste of time and need a refund and compensation for the mental trauma underwent by enrolling for this course.
I just shudder to think how much money this person is making through his dubious programs. In my batch there were 535 participants who had paid Rs 9, 999 which adds up to more than Rs 53 lakhs and out of this in the advanced program there were more than 120 participants who had paid Rs 99, 999 so this adds up to more than Rs 1.20 crore. And there were many different batches which he is taking whereby he used to charge Rs 99, Rs 499, Rs 9, 999 and Rs 99, 999. So just thinking about the crores of rupees this person is making through deceit and swindling the money of innocent and hard-working people disturbs me very much. I have heard of many job scams in the market but I would call this a classic case of career related scam.
Unfortunately, what happens in India is that due to the high unemployment rates and low levels of income prevalent in the country it provides an opportunity for dubious persons to take advantage of the situation and make false promises and cheat people of their hard-earned money. Individuals like Mr. Sawan show the moon to the participants by saying that they would get 3x salary and 4 job offers every weekend. Participants obviously fall in this trap which I consider are sales and marketing gimmicks to attract the participants.
I am attaching the video of the advertisement posted on Facebook and the document where he is making these misleading claims which lead me to purchase the online course.
