Research Aayu is 100% fake & big Scam business. A complete fake clinic and fake promises. I took the treatment for my father ...paid huge amount but not even a 1 percent relief after 20 days treatment.Their only job is to encash huge money in exchange of few oil massages . Their business is only looting people & giving false promises about knee Cartilage regeneration which is not possible. I request everyone not to take treatment of Research Aayu. This is big Scam. Govt should take action against such Scam Business.
I am suffering from knee arthritis since about last 1 year. My treatment was going on in Max vaishali hospital. One day I came across an ad of research ayu clinic of this co Techclinic connect pvt limited which dealt in knee and other bone joint treatments through ayurved. They promised breakthrough treatment of regrowing lost cartilage in knee joints. Their consultation fees was 240 as mentioned in advertisement. So after taking appointment I visited research ayu clinic situated at Dayanand vihar preet vihar Delhi along with my earlier Xray and MRI reports just to have a parallel opinion about my knees.After I went there on18-10-2026 one shaista madam and another lady counsellor name unknown prescribed me rs 70000 thousand package for 20 therapies and medicine for the same period of 20 days. Meanwhile they asked me to have one complimentary massage therapy to test and try the service which I refused but the lady insisted again and again in such a manner that it was a selling and pre-planned gimmick to lure and entrap the prospective new unsuspecting clients. After about 50 minutes only massage therapy when I returned to the counsellor room they asked me to register. I told them that 70000 is a big amount for me and I can't afford such amount in a short span of 20 days treatment and my treatment is already going on in Max hospital.But they kept on insisting and said they have a tie up with2 loan co and they could arrange loan.After due process on mobile they could not arrange loan after checking my credentials. I said that I have paid the consultation fees and when I would be able to manage the amount or get loan that I would start the treatment. But they didn't let me go and said you had a massage therapy already done now you can't discontinue the treatment. You have to pay a minimum 10000 and the rest we will surely arrange loan from some other company Tommorow since it's evening and closing time and we will arrange loan on mobile only yu only provide otps. Initially I was hesitant but after continuous pressurising me and harrassing me for more than 1hour I was compelled to make a payment of 10000 through UPI since there was a huge staff of around 15 to 20 male and female dominant messsuers and employees . After making the UPI payment They asked me to take receipt and sign some documents which were not clearly visible as my reading glasses were in the vehicle downstairs when I told them its not clearly visible , the lady told me it's just formality and yur loan will be approved Tommorow. The next day I called . Nobody picked . In the evening when I had conversation with some lady over there she told me loan is not possible we can get loan in yur wife or brother or some relative name . I asked that i am not in a position to continue treatment and the medicines yu gave me they are untouched , I am returning it as it is . Plz refund my 10000 rs as i can't pay such huge amount 70 k in 20days After repeated request she told me that WE don't have any refund policy. Yu can avail partial benefit of 2 therapy and medicine in 10k. When I said how only a little partial treatment of 10 k will work and it will be waste for me she replied that she is sorry and can't refund my money. I felt trapped and cheated by their gimmick and searched about the company in reviews and learnt from trusted and trustpilot reviews about same modus operandi used by the clinic by trapping them by forcing clients into having trial massage therapy and unwillingly making them register and pay.

I went to research ayu 27 Sep (Sunday understand the treatment which is provided for kee issues .
The staff forced and convinced me to take up the treatment cost Rs 57,000/- for 20 days and offered the loan facility.
Post consulting with family it was declared de that I shall not be taking up this treatment and called Research ayu East Patal Nagar to cancel the loan .
Was told that branch manager Simran will call me however there has been no call back from her (been speaking to the Lakshmi for over a week )
Today I called twice simran and lefta what's app message and Got a call back.
Was advised that they shall be deducting 5000/- (admin + medicine issued + service used )as mentioned on the form which they got signed the day I went to meet then (paid 250 /- as doc consultation too )
NO medicine were issued or treatment taken on ur first day then why should they be charging 5000/- ?
No personal information was shared in terms of Admin work .
This shows that this company is just trying to grab money and do scam .
Beware of them pls .

Now he walks pain free.
Thank You
Very disappointing experience as an employee.
After leaving the company, my pending salary and Full & Final settlement were not cleared on time. I was repeatedly told that the payment would be done within 3–4 days, but the commitment was not fulfilled. Every time I followed up, I received another assurance, but still no payment.
As an employee, asking for your own earned salary and F&F repeatedly is extremely frustrating. I expected better professionalism, transparency and respect from the management.
I visited ResarchAyu clinic, East Patel Nagar in Nov 2025 after seeing their ad in Facebook as I have injury in my left knee. It was just for consultation purposes. But when I went there and told them I am here just to consult my case, they started giving me oil therapy which they called "detox" I thought it will be a part of the consultation. But when it got over they asked me to pay ₹3000/- for therapy. I told them I was here for consultation only, which cost around ₹240/- but the ladies staff working there trapped me saying we won't give you medicines if you don't subscribe to our plan which price was around 56K, as they told me. Somehow after so much arguments with them I paid the amount using my credit card. After 20 therapies completed, I told them I don't want to continue with treatment as I don't see any improvement in my knee. But again they trapped me saying my knee is healing and it will take some more time. I should continue with the therapy and I will be benefited 100% from their treatment. Again they trapped me and took 50K more but this time I paid them through Fibe. I think they are wrongly doing the business and they should be banned by the government. My advise to everyone don't fall prey to them and save ur hard earned money. In their reply they are saying I threatend them for bargaining which is 100% lie as I didn't know about this platform at that time. Do they have any proof for this. Any video clip with audio as they have cameras installed all over the place. Well in the era of Ai such AV clips can be easily morphed. I think they got disoriented coz such a genuine review is very bad for their business. Their YouTube channels are also flooded with negative comments by users who are cheated by them.
I underwent a 35-day spine treatment at Research Ayu that cost me ₹1,20,000, and I am still paying the loan EMIs every month.
Based on my personal experience, I did not receive the improvement I expected despite the significant financial commitment. I feel the treatment was not worth the amount I paid, and I regret choosing it.
My advice is to do thorough research, seek multiple medical opinions, and carefully consider the financial commitment before deciding on this treatment.
Its waste of time and Money...I took 20 days treatment, and had 2 xrays done on 4th and 18th day, Both the xrays looked the same, there was no changes, the Dr's were trying to convience me that bone density is growing and regen has started but i need to take more 20 sessions..I felt this was a marketing gimic by the doctors.... DO NOT ENROL FOR RESEARCH AYU PROGRAMS..
Dear Research Ayu Management Team,
I am writing to formally raise a serious complaint regarding the treatment provided to my father at your institute for his knee condition.
When we initially visited your institute, your representatives assured us that knee cartilage regeneration was possible and provided us with a 100% assurance that the treatment would result in improvement. Based on these assurances and representations made by your team, we proceeded with the treatment and paid approximately INR 1,00,000.
However, despite completing the recommended treatment and following the prescribed procedures, there has been absolutely no improvement in my father's condition. This has caused us significant financial loss, emotional distress, and disappointment.
Furthermore, when I visited your institute again to discuss the lack of results and seek clarification, I was treated in an extremely rude and unprofessional manner by your staff members. The situation escalated to such an extent that the police were called to the premises, and a complaint was filed against me. This experience was both humiliating and unacceptable.
Subsequently, one of your senior managers advised me to send a formal email regarding this matter and assured me that the management team would review the issue and provide an appropriate response.
Based on my understanding and the research I have conducted, knee cartilage regeneration is not currently considered medically possible in the manner that was promised to us. Therefore, I am seriously concerned that false assurances and misleading claims may have been made by your organization to induce us to undergo the treatment and incur substantial expenses.
I request that Research Ayu provide a clear explanation regarding:
1. The basis on which a 100% assurance of knee cartilage regeneration was provided.
2. The reason for the complete lack of improvement despite the treatment.
3. The justification for the unprofessional and rude behavior exhibited by your staff.
4. The appropriate resolution and compensation for the financial and emotional hardship caused to us.
I expect a written response and a satisfactory resolution to this matter within a reasonable timeframe. Failing this, I will be compelled to explore all available legal remedies and initiate appropriate legal action against Research Ayu for misrepresentation, deficiency in service, and the damages caused to us.
I hope your management will treat this matter with the seriousness it deserves and respond promptly.
Sincerely,
Pradeep Jain

A complete fake clinic and fake promises. I took the treatment for my mother ...paid huge amount but not even a 1 percent relief. Their only job is to encash huge money in exchange of few oil massages ....
Please don't opt for it ... You better spent this somewhere else
Horrible Experience making me regret reaching out to them
They’ve been one of the most frustrating treatment centres I’ve dealt with. I initially contacted Research AYU to enquire about their knee treatments, but confirmed the very next day that I wouldn’t be proceeding. Despite that, it’s now been six months and I’m still receiving repeated calls from different numbers. On top of that, they continue to send persistent WhatsApp messages from new numbers.
I’ve politely requested multiple times for my contact details to be removed from their database, but the calls and messages haven’t stopped.
As an additional note, my parents also visited Research AYU once and had a poor experience. The pricing quoted over the phone differed significantly from what was discussed in person (particularly for the main treatment), even though they charge a nominal consultation fee. Overall, both the service and medical experience have been disappointing.
I want to share my extremely disappointing and frustrating experience so that others don’t fall into the same trap.
I want to share my extremely disappointing and frustrating experience so that others don’t fall into the same trap.
We enrolled my mother in a 40-day “Rejuvenate Therapy” program, paying ₹1,15,000 in installments with the hope of seeing genuine improvement in her condition. Before starting, we were asked to take X-rays on Day 1, Day 20, and Day 40 to track progress.
Now that the full 40 days are completed, I can confidently say there has been no visible improvement at all. We compared all three X-rays, and there is not even a slight change. Despite this, the team keeps insisting that there is “improvement” and is trying to convince us to continue for another 40 days.
This feels completely misleading and unethical.
What’s even more concerning:
The results promised were not delivered
There is no scientific or visible proof of improvement
They continue to push for more payment without accountability
Their online reputation appears inflated with what seem like paid or biased reviews
This has been a very bad experience, especially since this involved my mother’s health and a significant financial investment.
I strongly feel this is a scam-like setup designed to extract money without delivering real results.
I am now requesting a full refund, as the service has clearly failed to meet expectations or show any outcome.
⚠️ Warning to others: Please do thorough research before trusting such programs. Don’t rely solely on online reviews. Ask for real, verifiable evidence and be cautious before investing large amounts of money.
If anyone else has faced a similar experience, please speak up. People deserve transparency and honesty, especially when it comes to healthcare.

I am writing this mto complain about two staff members of the clinic,Dwarka sector 12, Ekta and Shalini.
First of all I would like to share that my treatment till now going well, pain has reduced, stiffness and swelling has reduced. Dr. Manisha and Dr. Nidhi has supported me very well. And all the therapist coming to my home for the massage are good.
Now the issues I am facing is specially what happened today was :-
1. I have told my therapist to bring vivazen oil as it was finish with me, she acknowledged my .message. Then today in the morning I have called her again at 10:40 am to remind her to bring my oil, she told me that she has informed in the clinic and today she is not well, some other therapist will bring. I messaged 3rd time to remind the clinic regarding the oil but I got a msg that they have forgotten to send and now they will send it tomorrow. I called them and asked to send today, then Shalini asked me to pay to porter for dropping that oil to my home.
My concern is when it's staff s mistake and I have already paid 3000 for therapy and medicines in advance why would I pay again to them. And when I denied they refused to send it to me. Why the medicine for which I have paid advance has not delivered to me....???
2. Shalini has also lied to me that it's not our policy to send medicines through therapist. But I have personally seen therapist carrying the medicines and oils for patients to their homes.
3. In past also I have seen some kind of behavioral issues from Ekta. On very second day I have requested her to send a particular therapist to my home as her pressure is equal and gentle on my body but they refused. I have complaint about the other therapist 2 to 3 times even to doctor but no action has been taken. They are sending the same therapist to my home till now.
4. I have told Ekta, if she can't send my choice of therapist to my home thn please on my clinic visit I want her. But no action has taken again some other therapist was there, evn after changing my slot.
5. One day I called and requested to send therapist at 5 30 pm but Ekta sent her at 3 50 pm. I had some work that day and was busy. And I have to leave all my work and had to do the massage with her.
6. The same day I have asked her to send me Samriddhi's no. Dr Manisha s no. as Dr Nidhi was not picking my phone, I wanted to ask something about my bowel movement and also to complaint regarding Ekta's behavior but no response from her, she never sent me those nos. not even doctor's no. Initially it has been told to me that I can consult with doctor on call but clinic s staff is not providing doctor's no.
7. Even if you complaint about their behavior thn they are like " arre maam bolo na kya hua" as if they have not done anything.
8. I believe I have not paid in advance for such pathetic, ignorant and negative behavior. I started my treatment with high hopes and positive attitude. But seeing such kind of behavior is putting me under a doubt that was my decision correct.
I had a terrible experience at Research Ayu Knee Veda Navpada Thane. The management is really poor, and the staff is not attentive at all. I felt ignored and waited far too long for medicines to come also whichever medicines came that two without proper checking with consulting doctor, though doctor is good but she is always over occupied. On top of that, the prices are very expensive, and I could tell they have high overhead costs. Counsellor has only job to get the card swapped with full money in advance after the she almost get vanished never bother whether treatment is going well or we received right medicines nothing. Two times wrong medicines delivered, Overall, I was very disappointed and would not recommend this place to anyone. We already spent 80000 around but still has to do lot of follow ups. Not sure whether we will actual benefits or so.
Big promises. Zero results. That’s what Research Ayu stands for.
Big promises. Zero results. That’s what Research Ayu stands for.
Please do not waste your money with Research Ayu. I personally have not met a single person who claims to have genuinely benefited from their treatment, despite the large number of testimonials and images they circulate online.
Marketing:
This appears to be the only department that functions efficiently. The moment I showed interest, I received multiple calls from different centres, aggressively pushing me to visit. That should have been the first red flag. Once you share your phone number or email, the follow-up is relentless.
My visit:
I went only to understand their claims. As of January 2026, there is no universally accepted, clinically proven method that reliably regrows knee cartilage in a full, functional, long-term manner for most patients. This is well established in leading orthopaedic literature (AJSM, Arthroscopy, Osteoarthritis & Cartilage, KSSTA, Journal of Orthopaedic Research).
The “scientific proof” they cite (SKETS study):
The study used to support “cartilage regeneration” is a retrospective clinic-record review, not a controlled clinical trial. It has no control group, relies only on plain X-ray joint space measurements (which are highly position-dependent), and provides no direct evidence of cartilage regrowth.
Short-term changes are interpreted as regeneration without standardized imaging protocols or independent verification. The analysis treats 170 knees from 93 patients as independent data, which may overstate significance. The authors later disclose affiliation with the treatment provider despite initially stating no conflict.
Conclusion: the paper does not meet the evidentiary threshold required to support advertising claims of cartilage regeneration or disease modification.
Promises vs reality:
After briefly moving my knee, I was initially told I had Grade 2 damage. When I reported no relief later, this suddenly became Grade 4. I was promised I would be pain-free after 20 sessions. The treatment involved “detox” oil massage, “regeneration” oil massage, and a detox diet. When I said I would follow a different diet, I was immediately told no diet was needed. When I said I travel frequently and couldn’t attend regularly, that was also “not a problem.”
Everything was acceptable as long as I started treatment immediately.
Doctors:
This was a major red flag. Almost every week there was a different doctor. Each had a different opinion. When I asked about previous doctors, I was told they had left the organisation.
Pricing:
Initially quoted very high per session. Since I wasnt interested, I said 1/3rd and agreed immediately. Even that felt cery high for what was provided.
Treatment:
The first 10 days were a so-called “detox phase” involving potli massage with castor oil. There is no credible Ayurvedic or biomedical evidence that castor-oil massage removes toxins, cleanses lymph, reverses osteoarthritis, regenerates cartilage, or corrects joint space narrowing.
After 10 days, there was no improvement in pain or mobility. They then started a short “regeneration” oil pouring session. When there was still no change, I had to argue to get even the full duration.
Outcome:
I had X-rays taken before and after treatment. I could see no change, and my pain remained the same. When I showed them this, the narrative changed completely: I was now told that 20 days is not enough and that I would need much longer treatment—a complete reversal of what was promised earlier.
Independent radiographic observation:
A side-by-side review of the two knee radiographs shows no observable interval change in joint space width, bony alignment, or degenerative features. Medial compartment narrowing and overall joint architecture appear materially unchanged. There is no visible radiographic evidence of improvement or regeneration.
PS:
These are my personal experiences and observations, stated truthfully and based on direct interaction and available evidence.
