You may remember my post, where Google and Nestle has launched a contest on 27th September, 2013. Nestle in association with the Google was giving out free Google Nexus 7 on the hour every hour to Indian participants for promoting Googles launch of Android 4.4 KitKat.
Well, I had to buy the Nestle's KitKat for making the blog post regarding the contest with a step by step tutorial and surprise surprise, I won a Google Nexus 7 on 17th October 2013 with the Nestle's KIT KAT I bought. I will get delivery of my prized Google Nexus 7 after 15th November, 2013 when the contest closes.
My congratulations to those of other 640 lucky contestants who have won the Google Nexus 7 as of today. For the others I would like to bring to notice some salient requirements of the contest which the Google KitKat Terms and Conditions page doesnt mention.
First of all once you send a message containing the code to KitKat, you will receive a message stating that
Thank you for participating in the KIT KAT program. Winners will be contacted shortly. Kindly regain the wrapper. Visit www.android.com/kitkat for T&C
This message will be received by all of those who participate in the contest. The key is the second message which is received within 10 to 15 minutes of the first one. If you receive the second message which is as below, provided your documents are in order, Congratulations, you have won a Google Nexus 7.
Thanks for your participation in the Kit Kat Program. You shall be contacted within 24 hours by our representative. Kindly retain the wrapper. Visit www.android.com/kitkat for T&C.
Once you get this message stay close to your mobile phone, dont make unnecessary calls and wait for the Kit Kat representative to contact you. First and foremost she will ask for the wrapper code. Then she will proceed take down all your details and ask you your email id. Kindly spell out the email id to her and make her repeat this email id. Once she says Congratulations you have won the Google Nexus 7, your name will be listed on the KitKat contest page.
Wait for the second call this time from Delhi. The caller, usually a male will confirm whatever you said to the first representative. Once it is confirmed, they will send a email to your email address containing a Blank No Dues Certificate and a Form 60 (in case you dont have a PAN card). You are to fill this out, enclose the NDC, Form 60, photocopy of your address proof, PAN (all self attested) and the wrapper (staple it on a blank paper) and send it to the following address :
Ms. Subarna Nandy
GroupM Media India Private Limited
1st Floor, Building No. 9A
DLF Cyber City, Phase – III
Gurgaon – 122 002
Haryana
GroupM Media India Private Limited
1st Floor, Building No. 9A
DLF Cyber City, Phase – III
Gurgaon – 122 002
Haryana
You should send the documents within 7 days from the date of second call by courier or registered post. I sent it across through Bluedart, as Bluedart is fast and has a good tracking service.
Reading my post, many of my friends and colleagues participated in the contest and as of today 3 of us have won including me. If you are still interested, there are around 320 Google Nexus 7 left still to be won and the last date is 15th November 2013. Head over to the post here for details.
If you have any query regarding the procedure kindly leave your question in the comments box and I will answer to it.
The contest has closed today and there are lots of happy faces for winning a new Google Nexus 7 2013 while some are heart broken. A reader of the Blog has made a special names cloud of the Winners names which I take the pleasure of putting up on my blog.
A special thanks to my reader Manu Prasanna Kumar who not only won a Google Nexus 7 2013 but also helped a lot of contestants with timely answers. I will make a separate post regarding the despatch of the Google Nexus 7 2013 by Nestle in due course :)

ReplyDeleteThanks Mridula, this win gives me two Android devices in November a very very prosperous Diwali to me :) I hope and wish you and my readers a very prosperous Deepawali
DeleteVijay, First, heartiest congratulations to you for winning your 2nd gadget! :)
ReplyDeleteReally awesome! Diwali Dhamaka celebrations! :)
Thanks for reminding about this contest! I did have info of it, but I had forgotten!
Let's see if time permits me to take part in it!
Lots of deadlines already knocking at my door! :)
Anita a very HAPPY DEEPAWALI to you and your family. Thanks for your compliments and try out the KITKAT one too, maybe you will get the double dhamaka too! :)
DeleteGreat! That should make a memorable Diwali for you! :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats!
Yep Indrani I was going to buy a iPhone 5s but now have 2 Android ones lined up for me :)
DeleteHow many kitkat codes did you enter in one hour:-?
ReplyDeleteI put only one Anon. As I said in the post I had bought it for making the post :)
DeleteVijay, lucky guy; Even i won this for yesterday lucky draw and today i got the confirmation call.
ReplyDeleteThese guys are giving new Nexus 7 (2013) or the old one???
Thanks bro; you are lucky yourself :) congrats. I suppose they will give the Google Nexus 7 2013 16GB version :D
Deletehi ! Gopal what was the strategy you adopted while sending sms. I hope you will share your experience with us?
Deletehi!....I m from Bangalore.
ReplyDeletecongratulation to all the winners
i have won the prize too..........now in the NDC .....what all should i fill?......and is a revenue stamp necessary???
please reply ASAP
DeleteYes a Revenue stamp is necessary. You stick and sign it across and give all the details under it. After that get a witness signature and put all the details under it. Witness doesnt require to sign on revenue stamp. Congrats :)
Deleteas u see.....i stay in karnataka.......after the telgi scam.....the government has banned use of stamp paper.......so is there any alternative?
Deleteplease specify what to fill under r/o???......or is it what they ll fill when they deliver the prize??
Deleter/o is Resident of (give your full address there) and you can get a Rs.1.00 revenue stamp in the Post office. I dont think they have banned revenue stamps.
DeleteI got the call today.....so i ll ask around tomm at the post office....thanks a lot.....happy diwali :-)
DeleteI checked today in a post office, they told that the govt. of karnataka has banned sales of revenue stamp in post office.
Deleteplease tell how all your friends won? Did they make only one entry? I am trying for past 6 days but did not get lucky? Can we send multiple entries?
ReplyDeleteHey Anon it all depend on luck I guess :) In my opinion you should send one entry every hour and hope to get lucky as Google chooses random winners from lots per hour. Multiple entries dont make sense to me but many have won that way too (o) Best of luck (c)
DeleteIt sounds great ! Congrats on your win Vijay ! (h)
ReplyDeleteThanks Uma :) Wish you a very HAPPY DEEPAWALI :-)
DeleteHi first of all congrats to you. I have too won a nexus 7 and my question is that can I change y namewhich I gave it to the first representative. .??? Actually I go to office from morning 7 to night 10 and it is necessary to be at home whose name we've given and I am probably not at home. So I want to change my name to my mom's name as she would be at home. . Please reply me thanks. ,
ReplyDeleteDhairyadev Arora
And I forgot to tell you that I have received only the first call yet. On 4 November. . And I am supposed to receive the ornery call on 6 November.
DeleteFirst of Dhairyadev congrats. Second no need to change the name (Google does not allow it anyhow) Carry the mobile to your office or take a leave for one day tomorrow. You should get the send call tomorrow i.e. on 6th itself and send all the documents mentioned above by tomorrow evening to Subarna Nandy :)
ReplyDeleteIs 15 november the exact date when I will be receiving the nexus?
DeleteThey are going to ship it after 15th so it should come to your house by 20th I guess :)
DeleteHi Vijay Prabhu, I too got selected for the Kitkat Nexus 7 Prize today. I got the first call as of now. The lady asked details like name,address,age and whether the phone number is registered on my name? She told that another call will be made within 48 hrs. I am delighted and waiting for my first android device!
ReplyDeleteWhat are other formalities and docs to be sent? Please advise.
Congrats Manu :) You will receive a call by tomorrow afternoon. After that follow the instructions I have posted. The second caller will tell you what documents you have to send. I guess PAN card and Passport/Aadhar Card/Voter ID would do the trick. They will also send you a No Dues Certificate in your mail. You have to fill it out and sign across on a Rs.1.00 revenue stamp and take a witness signature. Send the dox across through Blue Dart and you are done :) (c)
DeleteCongrats Vijay Prabhu and everyone who won the prized Nexus 7 tab (hopefully it should be the latest 2013 version). If it is, that will be a BIG jackpot. Now waiting for 2nd call and formalities.Send more smses and enjoy frozen kitkats!
ReplyDeleteCongrats Vijay and Manu for the win... I also just sent an sms at 6:27 pm .. If the draw is done hourly I guess the winners will be announced around 7pm and not just after 10-15mins. Please wish me luck ..! :) Also Manu can you tell me what time did you send them the code sms and how many different codes did u send in an hour?? Thanks...!
ReplyDeleteBTW Mr. Vijay I also wanted to know what was your 1st android win and which contest? (c) And Congrats once again..!
DeleteBest of luck Mohsin (h) I won a Samsung Galaxy S 4 in another contest :))
DeleteThank You Mohsin :) I have been trying to send only one sms in an hour bracket and trying with different mobile numbers randomly without any specific logic ! Actually I still haven't assimilated that I have been lucky. After all this is an absolute first for me. I tried to send at least 3 per day. You may try sending at the last 5 minutes of an hour bracket also ! :d and also during afternoon time :d. Finally its all luck I guess but don't lose belief;thats important :)
DeleteHi ! I too want to be a nexus winner. I am participating in the contest since 27th October and i am impatiently waiting for the time to come. Pls suggest how random should i send sms to get a high probability of winning?
ReplyDeleteWell Sonia first of best of luck for your endeavour :) It all depends on luck but you should try sending one every hour. This is just a guess (c)
DeleteJust one per hour is a good method, as also said by Vijay Prabhu. The draw logic,i guess considers the location, time of day, mobile operator, big cities like mumbai etc. So try with one per hour and random usage of different mobile numbers! :) Best of Luck & Logic !!
DeleteMultiple sms per hour from same number is not a good idea,i guess, because google would club the smses from same mobile number (in an hour) as single entry to give fair chance to everybody !
DeleteHey dude !! Congrats on winning the Nexus 7 :) i have been trying to win since Sep 27 and have entered the contest more than 20 times but have won none :( :(
ReplyDeleteAll i have been getting is
Thanks for registering. To win a Nexus 7 tablet, tell us what do you do to KIT KAT & world records?
A. BREAK
B. BREW
SMS KITKATA or B to 09880298802.
and i respond with KITKAT A
Hope am answering correctly !!! I have tried by entering the code present in all 3 variants of kitkat but still no luck for me yet !!!
Hi Prasanna :) thanks for the compliments. Regarding your query neither I nor anybody from my acquaintance received any questions from KITKAT which are supposed to answered. Neither have any of the commentators above brought anything like this to notice. Do you stay in India because there is a separate KITKAT contest going on for other countries :P
DeleteHi Vijay, i am from chennai. There are separate Terms and Conditions for Tamil Nadu
ReplyDeleteSMS Route:
(i) As a first step, Participants are required to SMS the unique code printed inside of the KITKAT wrapper to 0 98802 98802 from any mobile phone before or during the Program Period. After such SMS is sent the following shall apply:
(a) The Participant shall receive a question through a SMS which shall be sent by the Agency to the Participant’s mobile number.
(b) If the Participant answers the question correctly, his/her entry shall be eligible to be considered for winner selection. Details on how this will happen are described under "Winner Selection".
(c) However if the Participant answers the question incorrectly, his/her entry shall be disqualified and shall not be considered for winner selection.
Hope am answering the question correctly !! I have bought a kitkat today too in hope of winning a Nexus 7 !! Hope i win atleast today :) Pray for me guys
Hi Pras, I thought so :) Anyways best of luck for the Nexus 7 today and hope you join the Nexus 7 winners club :-$
DeleteHope to see you winning comment :)
I sent one code at 10:03 am today also but still no luck.. Can all the winners here share me the exact time when the winning sms was sent, which carrier, prepaid or postpaid and which kitkat was used (4F,2F or Kitkat Dark) ?? I know i am assuming too much but hope it works. I sent the sms through my vodafone postpaid no. and used a Kitkat 4F.
ReplyDeleteLooks like I have to get a full kit kat box today to win this 1 :P
It's better not to plan too much in sending sms. You may Try this: Just send very randomly without thinking too much, infact don't think about the prized Nexus :) It should be like you are getting up in a random morning and get hands on your phone and simply send among one of the wrapper codes; I feel this method has some chances in probability.Best of Luck :)

ReplyDeletefirst o fall congrads all the winners,
ReplyDeleteHow may days it will take the delivery the gift....
Hi Jeemon, congrats (h) Google will start shipping the prizes after the last day of the contest i.e.e after 15th so you should receive it by 20th November. Be patient as Google Nexus tablet is the best there is! :p
DeleteI got the call today, as I am from Bangalore I told the representative that I cannot paste a revenue stamp. To this he responded by saying that attach a letter stating this issue and send it with the rest of the materials and they will consider it.
ReplyDeleteDear Vijay where is it written that the tablets will be dispatched after 15 Nov and will arrive by 20 Nov. I am worried as I am out of town during that period !!!
Congrats Anon. I have got confirmation from Google directly that the Google Nexus 7 will be despatched after 15th Nov. They will also mail you the details like tracking code etc. If you are leaving station make it a point to leave a authority letter with your original photo id proof at home so somebody else can receive it :) hope this helps -))
DeleteToday I received the second call (confirmatory) from a male rep at 12 noon. He made a quick cross-check of details like wrapper code, address, own number?, spelt out email ID etc before asking whether I have PAN card, Driving License? He said he will email me NDC and postal address etc today at around 8 pm. Cant wait to get hands on my first android :O
ReplyDeleteCongrats Manu (h) They called you just like I said :d You will receive the NDC by tonite or tomorrow afternoon. Kindly remember to add the details under your signature (cut and paste the details from under witness there) and fill those too :D And yes waiting to get my hands on Nexus as well (p)
DeleteJust now received the email from Nestle with NDC and Form 60 docs. Vijay, I have confusion with the NDC.1. R/o should be? 2. have received the gratification “Google Nexus Tablet” on ………….. ? 3.Witness.......? 4. details......? please advise.
ReplyDeleteManu R/o is resident of : give your full address. received gratification put the date you were first called which I think is 6.11.2013.
DeleteWitness : take your friends signature and give his or her details
Hope that helps :)
Vijay, I dont have to alter the NDC format right? I have to give my details r8?even witness details is required or what?
ReplyDeleteYou have to alter it :P make some space for your name, address etc.
DeleteUnder your signature with revenue stamp copy all the details from under the Witness
It should be like
signature with revenue stamp
Name
Fathers names
xxx
xxx
xx
Witness
Name
Fathers names
xxx
xxx
Hope you understand it (c)
Hi ! pls tell me whether i should try sending sms during day in between 10 am to 7 p,m or from 7pm to 10 am. Thanks manu for all your tips.I am from kolkata which has few winners compared to other larger cities like delhi and mumbai.Also did all the winners receive the second sms or recieved the call without getting the second sms?
ReplyDeleteHi... I read all the Terms and conditions very carefully on the kitkat site and here also. It clearly says that only 2 prizes will be awarded to all entries between 7pm to 10am and the winners will be declared at 10am. So basically instead of 2 winners each hour it will be 2 winners in 15 hours and in rest 9 hours (10am to 7pm) there will be 18 winners... So if u r a very lucky person you can try at night also :)
DeleteThanks Vijay,now I get it. Would there be any issue in a family member signing as a witness?
ReplyDeletebut the kitkat people have different reply on their facebook page
DeleteManu it is better to take signature of a friend or a neighbour. It is just a technical requirement but all the same :)
Deletehello sir i received win call but my name is not in winner list name harish goyal jaipur
ReplyDeleteCongrats Harish :) you received the call today right! so your name will appear tomorrow or day after :p
DeleteCongrats Harish Goyal :) We have one more winner here.
Deletehello sir i received win call but my name is not in winner list name harish goyal jaipur
ReplyDeletehello sir i received win call but my name is not in winner list name harish goyal jaipur
ReplyDeletehello sir i received win call but my name is not in winner list name harish goyal jaipur
ReplyDeleteDid u receive the second sms ?
DeleteI have sent the "Participation Package" through courier today. I repeatedly checked if every document was alright.Thanks Vijay for all your guidance. Now lets hope the prize is infact the Google Nexus 7 (2013) version. Anyways here's the contact number of the GroupM Gurgaon Office for courier purpose and otherwise so that winners don't have to lookup on the web: PH: 0124-4519300
ReplyDeletemanu your name was not on there????
ReplyDeletesame hppened with me. i got call on 6th but still my name is not there....
Manu's name is there on the list bro :-)
DeleteMy name can be seen first, in the list of 6-Nov-2013. The lady must have written it wrongly, although I spelt each letter clearly on phone. Hope there's no problem in future citing the spelling when auditor matches with my dox proofs. Once again itching for the NEXUS 7 (2013) :d. BTW Vijay any idea about 3G/phone facility in that prize tablet?? :)
Deletegot call 1 & 2 both, also got mail having NDC and form 60 but still my name is not in the list.....please guide
ReplyDeleteHey Anon Congrats, wait for few days. The agency guys take a while to put up the names. Your name should come up by Monday (c)
Deletevijay sir
ReplyDelete1.if i hav PAN card, still should i hav 2 fill 'form 60' &
send it(shud i send widout filling.
2.what is acknowledgement due & how should it b sent?
3. is 'Due' also required in courier?
Vipin
Hi Vipin, Congrats :) If you have PAN card no need to fill the Form 60
DeleteRegarding AD, dont worry about it, send the dox by courier. AD is a slip which is required when you send a letter by India Post.
Can someone tell me whether the numbers are 011-30177200 or 30798150 from which the call from kitkat comes? Pls tell me as i have missed calls from these two numbers.
ReplyDeleteI got calls from these nos:
Delete1.+911204639600
2.+919555290764
Yes Manu has given the correct numbers. The first call comes from the first number and the second one comes from the second number. Dont bother calling them as they are call only numbers (though 9555290764 sometimes rings but no one picks it up) :P

as u see in stats, Karnataka is on Top and coincidentally the number 09880298802 is also a Karnataka Airtel number !! any logic behind it?? :-?
DeleteNice stats you have there Manu :) Nice to see Karnataka topping (I am sure most of them are from Bangalore) And 9880298802 is a unlisted number which I suppose can be of Airtel Karnataka. Another thing to note Manu is that as many as 15 winners are already commenting on this post :) Comboupdates has been lucky for them I guess :-d
Deletehow to fill ndc (no dues certificate) kitkat contest
DeleteI am reproducing kitkat's reply to Jerry on their facebook page:-
ReplyDeleteHi Jerry, According to the Terms and Conditions, the winners are selected via a draw through a random, scientific basis that is conducted each hour from amongst all valid entries received via SMS between 7pm of the previous day till 10 am of the next day during the Program Period.
Also, as a process the eligible winner names are uploaded basis establishing contact with them. We do face delay in establishing the contact and hence only those names are updated on the winner section of www.android.com/kitkat wherein the contact has been made. Do visit our program website http://www.android.com/kitkat for terms and conditions. We thank you for the interest shown in our brand related activities and assuring you of our best attention at all times.
another kitkat reply
ReplyDeleteHi Praveen, We'd like to bring to your notice that the winners are selected via a draw through a random, scientific basis that is conducted each hour from amongst all valid entries received via SMS between 7pm of the previous day till 10 am of the next day during the Program Period.
Pls Vijay explain the draw procedure?
Hey Anon somebody above has already explained it :D But I will explain it once more. From 10.00 am to 7.00 pm the draw takes place every hour on the hour. From 7.00 pm to 10.00 am (during the evening through nite) only 2 winners are chosen. Hope that clears your doubt. The best bet is to send SMS during day time but now with less days left and many people becoming aware of this contest, the competition is sure stiff. May the luck be with you guys :)
DeleteVijay, have you received any confirmation about receipt at GroupM office of your DOX n wrapper and any info about completion of auditor verification of package?? we discuss that now !
ReplyDeleteHaha :)) Manu yes I received confirmation from the agency that is handling the contest on behalf of Nestle and Google. I received the following reply "We'll contact with you very soon for the confirmation your doc. & gift will be start to deleiver after 15 of Nov."
DeleteI cant give further details on that.
Rest assured my friend we are going to get the Google Nexus 2013 (16GB) :-$
Hi Vijay and Manu,i had sent the docs using speed post. What is acknowledgement due??
ReplyDeleteHi Anon. You should have done that. You should have read the Terms and conditions properly. They state as
Delete"(vi) The completed Participation Package needs to be sent by registered post with Acknowledgement Due or through courier to the address mentioned below so as to reach within 7 (seven) days of the call made by Agency:"
Which means that only Registered Post AD and Courier should be used to send the participation package. Now that you have already done it hope for the best :P
Sorry *You should not have done that (p)
DeleteRegistered Post is just "POST" plus consignment being recorded at various point until the destination. I was never so confident with Reg post even though it is very cheaper compared to couriers; so I sent through First Flight courier. I sent one evening and it was received in gurgaon office by lunchtime next day. it cost me Rs.117 to be exact.
Deletewhat can i do now sir??
ReplyDeleteAnon I suppose nothing can be done now :-( Hope that you are twice lucky and my best wishes :)
DeleteTHANXX
ReplyDeleteHey Dear,
ReplyDeleteI also won the contest. The first name in 10/11/13. Waiting for 2nd call yet. Just tell me Rs. of how much revenue stamp do I need to put? And if I send the docs through DTDC, will it be ok or anything else is required? Pls help... Thanks to every commentors in advanced...
Rathin Majumder
Hi Rathin first let me congratulate you :) The second call may come today :P You have to affix Rs.1.00 revenue stamp on the NDC. You can send dox by any courier but try to send it by Bluedart as you can track the shipment.
DeleteHope this helps, comment any further requirements (c)
Hey Vijay Prabhu,
ReplyDeleteThanks for ur reply. Got the call around 1hr back. He told me to get the xerox for v.id & pan card. I asked about the stamp. He said any amount of Rs.5 or Rs.10 stamp will do. pls tell me the Rs. amount in stamp does really matter? I have both stamp of Rs.1 & Rs.5; which one to put?
Do I need to cross sign over the stamp?
I m submitting V.Id card, pan card, the Wrap, the NDC etc. pls suggest wher to sign and all...
The address in RO has to be the same as V.Id?
sorry if i bother u by asking too much...
Rathin

Rathin
Hi Rathin yep no bother to me :d You have to affix Rs.1.00 revenue stamp which you will get in any Post Office. You have to sign across the revenue stamp. Yes the address in R/o should be same as the id proof you submit. I suggest you add aaddhar card/driving license in addition to the Voter ID. Also remember to self attest them. Regarding NDC you can refer the replies above :)
DeleteKindly Like my page on FB and Google Plus and subscribe to my post in the subscribe now. Thats all I need, a bit of encouragement :)
hi one more query; my v.id address is different where i m staying right now. but it's inthe same city, only bit different area. else pin no. & rest all the same. can i add my owned indane gas bill with v.id as the address prof? or this v.id will do?
ReplyDeleteHi Anon Dont you have any other proof like Ration card, driving license, aadhaar card etc :-? If you have attach those otherwise attach the indane gas bill
DeleteI got to know when u won the prize....when did u send the docs??.....when did it reach them???....when did u get the acknowledgement???...and when did u get the confirmation form kitkat???.......i would like to know date
ReplyDeleteAnd congratulations to all winners :)
Hi Anon I cot the call on 17th, sent the dox on 18th and confirmation received on 19th. The Google Nexus 7 will be shipped after 15th November (h)
DeleteDid u get confirmation from kitkaat saying they have recieved your docs???
DeleteA mail or a call??
I have been trying for so long but with no luck :(
ReplyDeleteI have been in UP since this contest started and i have been sending sms from my UP number and now i get to know the stats :(
I wish i was at home, back in mumbai, probably i would have own by now.
Hi Anon, tough luck :( anyways keep trying there are still 4 days left :)
DeleteStill no luck. With just one day and three more wrappers left, i think chances are negligible. I was so hopeful that i will finally have an android.
DeleteHi Vijay. I got 2nd call on 7th, sent dox on 8th, dox recvd on 9th according to tracking, but still no confirmation as of now?? should I follow up? :-? thanks.
ReplyDeleteThere are lots of complaints by winners on Kitkat official facebook page about package not been received or similar problems. should we be worried?
DeleteHi Manu :) First of all thanks for helping out the other people including me :-)
DeleteAbout the confirmation dont worry, If your dox have reached Ms.Subarna Nandy, you will get your and I will get my Google Nexus 7 as promised by Google and Nestle (o)
A request to you Manu, Kindly answer the queries of commentators because I am a bit busy and may not be available on time to solve their problems. You know how fidgety we become when we receive the first call, the same is the case with other. So if you have time kindly take a moment to answer any queries that are posted here (if you dont mind that is) ;)
Hi Vijay , I am also a winner of the Kitkat contest but unfortunately they say they have not received my documents not sure what should I do about it now, as per the courier guys they have received my documents on 17th October and they sent me a email yesterday mentioning they have not received , shall I send again but I dont have the wrapper anymore it is sent to them, Would appreciate if you would let me know once you receive your tab, Thanks and Congratulations to you
ReplyDeleteHi Mayur first of congrats :) regarding your query, you email them back on the same address stating your problem and send the remaining dox again sans the wrapper. And wish for mighty luck :P
DeleteVijay, there's slight confusion here. Do they or do they not give any intimation about receipt of DOX?, as some winners have reported that the agency contacted them about non-receipt of dox??
DeleteThe agency company is having different offices on different floors. When I called up to confirm their contact number, the guy on some other floor did not have any clue about what I am talking (kitkat competition). It would be helpful if we get a direct contact number for enquiries.
Dear Vijayji,
ReplyDeleteWill I be getting any intimation from Nestle after they have received the participation package that I have sent.
Thanks & Regards,
Sidhant
Hi Sidhant congrats :) No they dont send a intimation so I have posted that you send it by bluedart because you get proof of delivery with their nice tracking service. Anyways the dox are a technical formality any organiser has to fulfil to save their backs from possible problems :P
DeleteAnd wish you and me and all others get our Nexus soon (f)
steps to follow if documents not received by Ms Subarna Nandy (Kitkat - Nexus 7)--
ReplyDelete1. Call 0124 4519300 and ask the operator to forward call to Ms subarna Nandy and ask her directly all your queries.
2. Again mail your all documents(self attested pan card,address proof, NDC form + photocopy of wrapper if available and also put a letter mentioning your reason of not having original wrapper)
3. If you have by mistakenly speed posted the document - don't worry they will consider it too. If a call comes to you stating that your documents are not received tell them that you have by mistakenly speed posted them and send the documents again (Don't use speed post this tie :p)
Okay
DeleteDOX Received - They Don't Call (be happy)
DOX Not Received - They CALL !
:d
They call in case they don't get your documents. If call doesn't come this is itself a confirmation guys. conhrats to all the nexus 7 winners.
ReplyDeleteTo all winners and blog readers, if you have send the dox by Courier (Bluedart preferred) or Registered Post AD of India Post you need not worry about confirmation. If you have sent it through Speed Post you can send the documents against along with the wrapper photocopy (if available) by Courier (remember courier this time) if Nestle emails you the request or calls you back.
ReplyDeleteIf you do not receive the call, It can be assumed that your dox have been received so you get the Google Nexus 7 (which I hope will be 16GB version) x-)
Is there LTE in 16GB version?
DeleteKarnataka -109 (6 up)
ReplyDeleteMumbai - 94 (8 up)
Maharsahtra - 84 (6 up)
Mumbai is surely closing in.there could be a rush in next 3 days!
Yes Manu right on the button :d One more thing, there is a severe shortage of KitKat pack having Android images in Mumbai, are you facing same kind of problems ?
ReplyDelete(cheer)
Yes Indeed, I thought I should try for my dad again,but yesterday the shop had all regular kitkats ! You r r8, there is shortage!
DeleteSo far Total 694 Eligible winners ! some (names + state + phone nos) have got multiple Nexus 7 !
ReplyDeleteDo we get a confirmation SMS that i have won instantly or just directly get a call?
ReplyDeleteHi Anon,
DeleteFirst you get a confirmation sms after the sms acknowledging the code and then you receive a call b-(
So if i put a code at suppose 10.30 am
Deletethe draw will be at 11 am so will i get a message stating u have won at 11am or later??
Today I got one missed call from +91-120 247 5300, Is this the number; they used to call?
ReplyDeleteYes it is one of the number. You will receive another call tomorrow :) be sure to be near the phone at all times and see that you are in an area where the reception is good cheer
Deleteso does it mean that after we send the dox there would b no response from nestle? then how will we come to know when they r sending the tablet?
ReplyDeleteso does it mean that after we send the dox there would b no response from nestle? then how will we come to know when they r sending the tablet?
ReplyDeleteI believe if our DOX are received at agency office then we won't be called and hopefully we would get Nexus 7 in time. If you see this blog and facebook kitkat page, winners are reporting calls received by them only when there is non-receipt of DOX.
DeleteI haven't received any call after yesterday's missed call from 120 247 5300.. And I also haven't received any message saying that You have won Nexus 7..
ReplyDeleteIs there any way through which we can contact them.?
Hi Anon wait for the call it will come :) They will try two more times before they turn to next contestant so relax cheer
DeleteIf you have not received any message saying that "..will contact you in 24 hrs" means you have not yet won. calls come only after that message.
DeleteManu is right x-)
Deletesir apne mera pass 12-11-13 ko 02:30pm par call kiya tha me pick nahi kar paya plz samadhan bataya
ReplyDeleteHimanshu, call aayega aaj :)
DeleteVijay G, i understand u r busy bt can u plz ans. my query
ReplyDelete1 of my frnds hav got lucky 2 times(won 2 nexus)
will he get 2 tabs
the SIMs used were different bt registered wid same person.
if not wat can he do
Vipin
I dont think that should be a problem. Different phones single person, Google should allow it :)
DeleteIf u see the kitkat dot in website,you will find some winner names who have won multiple nexus 7. If you search through it, you will find the winner (name+state+last 3 digit phone number) is identical. So we should conclude that your friend is going to get 2 Tabs.
Deletewhat is the answer i suppose to send for the question "Thanks for registering . to win a nexus 7 tablet , tell us what do you do to kitkat &world records?
ReplyDeleteA. BREAK
B. BREW
<BR/ . Any idea guys answer A or B
Praveen is A = break :)
Deletethanks for your reply
ReplyDeleteSo if i put a code at suppose 10.30 am
ReplyDeletethe draw will be at 11 am so will i get a message stating u have won at 11am or later??
And they are not updating their website from past 2-3 days....Any idea why??
Hi Anon, :) The 2nd SMS stating that you will be contacted in 24 hours comes almost within fifteen minutes after that the call comes where the Rep confirms your name and address :P
DeleteThe website may not have been updated due to various reasons, one of them is non confirmation of winners with second call. May of us live in remote places where there is network problem.
If you read the comments above you will understand how it is :D
2 days and 100 kitkats still remain so best of luck cheer
but i believe nestle will atleast acknowledge us by giving d date & tracking no for d device when it could get delivered
ReplyDeleteis the contest live because website is not getting updated.and is it true that chance of winning from a 10 r kitkat is less as compared to 20 r kitkat
ReplyDeleteThe contest is very much live! The delay in updating on website is that they are listing only "eligible winners" i.e they will call back after the sms and confirm details and then only they would update on the site. Calling all 20 winners per day (possibly after many trials) would take time.That's it. :)
Deleteits not lyk tht. i think u have more chance of winning in 10rs kitkat pack
ReplyDeleteVijay is this contest fake or something. lyk why would google go for such a loss.
ReplyDeletebecause each nexus 7 2013 cost around 16,000, so giving away 1000's of them wud incur a loss of 1.6 crore. i know they are making money from kitkat packs bt it is not as much as 1.6 crore. Right?? So how does this all work
This contest is not Fake. There are big names involved - Google and Nestle Kitkat ! So be assured, its genuine and almost 700 eligible winners are going to get a Nexus 7! :-d
DeleteEven if we assume there are total 5 million promo kitkats in India X Rs.10 = 50 Million Rs. (5 crore Rs) + SMS charges (5 crore Rs) = = Rs.10 crore. Now Nexus giveaway would cost them about (790 X Rs.15000)=1.18 crore Rs. So who's gaining?
Delete@vinit
ReplyDeletego and check your mind.all this is business and they will make more money than 1.6 cr
Manu, Vinit and Anon the advertising campaigns cant be measured in amounts :D It is intangible gain for Google as well as Nestle. Imagine how many would have known the Android KitKat if not for this contest. The aim was to take the brand to the people and both Google and Nestle have successfully managed that :)
DeleteAnd all those who have won the Google Nexus 2013, first of all a hearty round of applause to you, to Google and to Nestle ;)) I will put the details about the delivery, any tracking service if made available by Google on the blog either as separate post or here in the comments :) so stay tuned in folks 8-)
ReplyDeleteis the contest live on 15th nov i.e tommorrow. lyk can we send codes on 15th as well i.e from 10am to 7 pm or the contest ends today itself.??
ReplyDeleteVijay pls reply asap
ReplyDeleteVinit the contest is live as of 15th till 12.00 hrs midnite :) and the same timings are applicable i.e. 10 am to 7 pm. Google may require additional 7 days to receive all the documents sent by the contestants who win on 15th.
Deleteno it ends today
ReplyDeletevijay in which contest did u win s4
ReplyDeleteNo Anon the last day is tomorrow and 20 are still left

In a blogging contest :D
Deletex-)
ReplyDelete:) :) cheer :) :)
Deletes4 which contest
ReplyDeleteBlogging contest for Ambipur Mini Vent :)
DeleteHi Vijay Prabhu!!! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteI am also a winner of Google Nexus 7. I received the call on 30Oct, sent the docs on 31 Oct, and it reached Gurgaon on 2 Nov (checked through tracking). But I had sent the docs through speed post (bcoz I had asked the person who informed me if we cud send through speed post, and he said yes). I haven't yet recieved any confirmation. I followed through email but still got no reply. Is there a chance of me not getting the prize?
Hi Anon congrats :) Did you receive any third call from the Agency saying that your dox have not been received ?? If you did not received any such THIRD call then it is safe to assume that you are now a proud owner of Google Nexus 2013 :)
DeleteRegard Speed Post the contest TnC clearly state that Speed Post is not allowed but if your read some of the comments of the winners above, you will know that they had received third call informing them about the non receipt of dox. Hope that clears your doubts :-)
no i did not receive a third calll
ReplyDeleteThanks!!! I didnt receive any 3rd call from agency saying that my docs weren't received.Waiting for my Nexus 7.... :)
ReplyDeleteSo much tension to get that Prize, you know ! :d. No news of Google releasing date of Nexus 7 in India. Lets pray that we get it before it reaches the common people !! :d :-d :p
Delete:-d
ReplyDelete:D
Deletewhich version are they giving i know its 2013 but storage wise
ReplyDelete16gb :p
DeleteI suppose they will be giving the 16GB version :) but you never know, Google might surprise you with a 32GB one @-)
ReplyDeleteIs the LTE/4G only available in 32GB version?any info?
DeleteAny idea when google is releasing Nexus 7 in India?? It was supposed to be this month.
Deleteis it that no one has received nexus 7 or is that after 15 of october no one has received
ReplyDeleteAnon no one has received the prizes so far. I have communication from Nestle that the prizes shall be despatched only after the contest is over ie after 15th November 2013 :P
DeleteDid you Receive confirmation from Kitkat after sending the docs???
ReplyDeleteon the fb page, kitkat saying that they will start shipping after 15/11/13 and it will reach by 4 to 6 weeks. which means nearly 1 & half months from tomorrow...
ReplyDeleteand dont forget after receiving d dox, their audit team will verify. so doesnt mean sending dox u r entitled to get d nexus 7.
they have some drama about dox receiving as experienced by few users.
lets pray for best so that every one who won, should get their tablet without any trouble, including me...
Rathin Majumder.
