The first one told me my bag was not on my flight, took down my info (what airline I was traveling on 6 hours later, etc), and done. Didn't see any of them again until 1 of them appeared with my bag at the Vistara check-in counter 6 hours later.
I totally agree that is a situation where a concierge is quite useful. I actually don't even mind so much there, since presumably when there were 3 of them, they were all standing somewhere easy to find by other passengers.

But the escort from check-in through all the formalities was probably (?) unnecessary to you, may not even have saved any time (escorts typically slow me down), and took them away from helping anyone else.

"Sorry, the concierge(s) is helping another passenger." is a phrase I've heard far too often when I'm struggling to make a flight.
