  "account": "Brio Elevators has claimed that Brio Elevators and Odyssey Home Elevators are two distinct and independent companies with no affiliation, despite publicly available records showing common directors. This discrepancy has left customers questioning the actual relationship between the two brands. Brio's official statement maintains that the companies are separate with independent identities, but the presence of the same individuals in leadership positions in both businesses raises concerns. Odyssey's website further complicates matters by listing the same individual, Venkatesh Jagabathina, as its Founder and CEO of both Brio Elevators and Odyssey Elevators. This inconsistency creates uncertainty regarding the true nature of the relationship between Brio and Odyssey, prompting customers to demand a clearer explanation from the companies.",
