An informative article about BATA , just a small correction if it can be done it’s not 1984 its 1884. I am sorry if I have offended any body . It will help for making any such mistakes in future. 🙂
Bata people are literally thieves. Whole of the manegement from top to bottom are liers and scoundrels. They don’t care about customers at all. I really have a very bad customer experience from them and still regret why I even stepped in their showroom.
Bata is only a brand. They don’t have any manufacturing units, they source 3rd class rexine shoes and sandals and sell it at Rs 2999 bata price tag. Thier leather shoes colour gets fade after 2 weeks of wearing. And they have been fooling around indians for a century now. Congrats Bata.
