Winning the Google Nexus 7 with KitKat contest, a dream come true

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

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 :)
