Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to formally lodge a complaint against India Kids Fashion Week (IKFW) Season 12, for engaging in what appears to be a fraudulent activity involving collection of money from hundreds of parents, including myself, under the pretext of enrolling children in fashion shows.
On 23rd October 2025, I paid the amount as requested by their team. Despite several follow-ups, I have not received any further communication regarding the audition details, time slots, or venue information, as initially promised.
Below is the communication we received from their team:
“Hello Dear Parents,
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year 😊
Greetings from India Kids Fashion Week Season 12
So this new year 2025 we are glad to announce the dates for Season 12 Auditions.
Following are the audition dates:
Hyderabad – 19th to 22nd June 2025
Pune/Chennai – 27th to 29th June 2025
Bangalore – 10th to 13th July 2025
Kolkata/Nagpur – 19th & 20th July 2025
Chandigarh/Jaipur – 26th & 27th July 2025
Delhi – 31st July to 3rd August 2025
Ahmedabad – 2nd & 3rd August 2025
Mumbai – 7th to 10th August 2025
You will be given one-day slot and details regarding venue, time etc. will be shared 5–7 days before the audition.”
Contact Numbers:
+91 86574 69745
+91 86574 69744
+91 86575 18016
Now, none of these numbers are reachable, and there has been zero response or update regarding our children’s participation. It is alarming to know that many other parents have also paid and are facing the same issue.
Key Details:
Amount Paid: [two kids 6000]
Date of Transaction: 23rd October 2025
Mode of Payment: [/UPI/.]
Contact Numbers Used by IKFW: +91 86574 69745, +91 86574 69744, +91 86575 18016
Communication Received: As quoted above
Location: Mumbai
This act constitutes a potential scam and a clear violation of trust and consumer rights. I request you to please investigate this matter urgently, trace the individuals or organization involved, and take appropriate legal action against them.
I am also willing to provide payment receipts, screenshots of communication, and any additional evidence upon request.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Aishwarya Nyayanit
