Dealing with Uday Bhawalkar is difficult. He makes tall claims about his Biosanitizer and has no data to back it up. He will bandy about statements like he has “millions” of satisfied customers, that his Biosanitizer works like a “neutron” bomb in removing odours from effluents.
Before you do business with him ask for the following:
- The scientific reason behind Biosanitizer – he will tell you it is proprietary and hides behind secrecy.
- A Technical Overview – There is none that is credible.
- What Quantitative Indicators can be measured – You won’t get a satisfactory answer
- Technical papers that substantiate the claim – There are none.
- Reports from Independent Testing Labs – None available
- Why has the product not been tested at NCL, Pune?
- References? – No credible references, just anecdotal information
A contact of mine was keen on taking Biosanitizer to treat odours from a Sewage Treatment Plant in Hawaii. I must say I was taken in by Bhawalkar’s claim and put down Rs. 16,000 for 500mg of Biosanitizer and sent it to Hawaii for testing. It failed miserably. They said it was, “snake oil”. Their words.
Let's face it, the Biosanitizer crystals are inert and insoluble. The crystals don't react, it is supposed to act like a catalyst. There is absolutely no scientific basis for this to work. It is a lot of hand waving and using the "nose" as the basis to prove that this works.
I told him Biosanitizer was rejected and requested a refund. He said return it and he would refund the money. After receiving the product, he reneged and asked for a Lab Report. This was provided. Then it became very apparent that he was not going to return the money, I asked for the Product. He refused to send it until I provided a project overview! Not delivering a product that is paid for is most unscrupulous and un-professional.
This individual is unethical, a charlatan and a person of questionable character. Do a thorough due diligence before you do business with him. I for one, am glad that things didn’t work out and my losses are curtailed to Rs. 16,000/-. I shudder to think what would have happened if I entered into a business agreement with him.
The simple response ought to have been a refund, no questions asked. But this is not in the Indian gene.
Another example is Kumaraswamy reneging on the transfer of power to the BJP in Karnataka. People don’t want to keep their word and then concoct all kinds of excuses to renege their commitment.
