Hi everyone,
I see that there are some great views out here.
The most important factor that one should note here is that quality is directly related to the income level of the consumer, and this leads to the classification of different quality of goods for different income groups.
Yes, it is obvious that everyone is going to be quality concious, but they can only play with the choices that their income offers.
Another important fact to be noted is that the suppliers are also producing better goods at a cheaper cost which is creating lot of choices for everyone in the consumer bracket. Eg: Rs.1 shampoo packets, small biscuit packets, and so on.
Thus as the country is becoming more quality consious, the markets are equally adapting to the trend and providing lots of choices for everyone.

We can not say that Indians are less quality conscious. There are others factors which determine their level of quality conscious. Most of Indian population lives in rural area and less aware about new trends of lifestyle. Most of populations lives below poverty line and our income source is unevenly distributed. About 90% of income comes from top 5% of rich class.
The people who do not have food to eat can not think about quality. Indians who are rich think about Quality. Middle class families buy things which come into budget and plan their finances according to that. Indians are saving conscious people so they spend little without wasting their money. It is true also if we get quality product in cheap rates without name of any brand. Why to spend money on buying things which have higher value. That's why Chinese products are sold at higher rates because people can not afford to buy high rates Sony or Nokia products. So, income source decides our level of consciousness. |

I totally agree with the above mentioned statements given by you guys.
And according to my opinion, an individual buys good quality of things when he has a good source of income, by which he can provide all the things to his family including the basic necessities of life.
Nowdays technology has attain till zeneith so everyone is aware of what is good and what is bad, but the main issue arises is the income and ofcourse, awareness. If people are having good amount of income and awareness about a product then d person would more verge 2wards d quality rather than the quantity, but yes an individual would prefer quantity even (acc to family size).
And many programs are also launched now days to create awareness about everythng, so it depend on an individual income, awareness, literacy rate, family size and a lot more, b/c in INDIA people can't just simply be quality concious by considering a single issue. It depends on the whole system also. As if politician would increase numerous programs to create awareness, to create or provide emplyment to the unemplyed 1's, to provide with a good and clean environment, to provide good schools and increase the literacy rate.
If a people would get this much (mean INDIA) , then it would move from developin to developed nation and there would be no corruption, o umemployed people, no unawareness no povrty, no literacy henceforth nt only an individual but INDIANS would be concsious about the quality, quantity and lot more attributes to concerned with. |

| Income and knowledge these are the two essential elements required for purchasing the quality product. India is a developing country and 37% of people in India live below poverty line. India currently has the largest illiterate population of any nation on earth. So, now we can divide the population of India in two group. The major population is quality conscious as they have knowledge of the product as well as have good income to buy the quality products. Today Indians are becoming health conscious as well they prefer the product which don't have any side effects on health. So, they judge the product on the basis of required factors like in clothes they observe its quality, durability, comforts. Other portion of India may prefer quantity product at low price as they have to feed their large family this is basically due to the low income and lack of knowledge. |

Hello everyone.
I would like to include my points too.
Indians are price conscious first and then second quantity conscious and third comes quality for a middle class std living. Coming to urban life style, people prefer branded products. Teenagers or people of age group of 15-35 prefer variety, so they are not so quality conscious because quality needs price, and they would like to change regularly as per the current trends. So smartly they look for just good looking one. |

Quality should not be misinterpreted with having branded hi-fi gadgets, branded clothing etc etc. But if we consider Indians and put them under the umbrella of QUALITY we must take into considerations various conditions in which an average Indian has to pass through.
Take the example of an earning average "urban Indian" and the earning average "rural Indian" both have one basic need i.e. satisfy his family. India, where purchasing power of majority of its people is very less in order even to satisfy the daily basic requirements, quality then is a next question. Quality comes when the basic requirements are full filled. For example, when we are hungry we will not look whether the food is of quality or not we will eat it to satisfy our requirement this is the case what is happening in India.
If we take example of Mobile's, which is a necessity today, as one of the argument has quoted. We should take into consideration that a "China mobile" which is providing all the features of latest "branded mobiles" do and that to in 1/5 Th of its cost will be bought by a Rural Indian & Urban Indian instead of buying a branded mobile of the same cost but having less features.
Now, when we talk about the consciousness of Indian about quality & considers India's self sufficient past, its architecture, its engineering, its philosophy, its way of living life was QUALITY defined. Many would say it was a different time in realm but you should take it into positive sense that they were same people as we are. We have just evolved into a new age, "time" has changed, expectations have raised, globalization still a new concept for rural Indian introduced etc. So we have to change. And this change has to come with education and proper employment which will not only satisfy the individual but will also bring the healthy competition in the domestic & international market and healthy competition automatically introduces QUALITY products into market along with the competitive prices which could be afforded by an average Indian apart from satisfying his "basic needs", slowly and steadily changing the mental image of Indian about Quality of product. |

Well said everybody! Indeed Indians are Quality Conscious just like every human being is and should be. Only fact that depicts weakness in this fabrication is the India's poverty figures.
As per poverty report 2012 of planing commission of India 33. 8% of rural population and 20. 9% of urban population are living under poverty line.
Considering the poverty line that average Rs. 672.8 per month i.e. Rs 28. 65 per day in rural and Rs 859.6 per month (ie. Rs 28. 65 per day) it is obviously true that a part of Indian population have to compromise with their desire to buy quality goods. Although they are conscious and aspired to buy quality goods but their very little purchasing power cut shorts their desires.
They are* (only a part) more inclined towards managing their bread and butter out of their little earnings then to buy quality goods and service.
So answer to the question "Are Indians Less Quality Conscious?" is.
" No, Indians are equally quality conscious like everyone else is. The fraction of Indians who compromise with quality have a reason to do so. They are forced to cut short their desires to go for quality goods because of their lower purchasing power. If anybody happens to think the other way, just give a try to this. "Go for a free sale of goods for the population under discussion and see which type of goods they choose for !".
Obviously every one will Choose the best he/she can a afford for.
The yardstick of quality can only be used when we have our whole population equally prosperous like the rich part lives like. |

| Yes, Indians are less quality conscious because of less literacy rate of country and bad politician is another fact of that. Consistently increasing population of India is also a main fact, which have been affected the consciousness of Indians. Corruption from government office to high level is also affecting the consciousness of Indians. Governments have been making lots of schemes for the welfare of the peoples of Indian but under officials and employee have not been regulating the government schemes in villages. Whereas, Some Indians have been working as high authorities but only less quality of conscious affected the gain grounds of the India. |

Hi friends,In my opinion we can't say that India is totally having less quality or high quality concious.It's depends upon people's mentality,their income level,Their requirements,no.of persons living in a family & people awarness in the society.
Because India isn't just like any other countries like USA.Where they will think about ony themselves.In india in a family first of all they will think about how much quantity they required based on that they will chose the best quality within their income level.
If the people are aware of the good's quality . They will purchase the better quality thing among the less life goods.Now a days technology is developing,communication among the people the people also increases.
The people are also aware of education and its importants.many trests are coming forward to educate the people .So,I can say that India is developing country and it's also take carrying of good quality of goods.

Hello everyone.
The topic is are indians less quality concern? so we have to first define what does quality means. Quality can be defined as measurement of 'fineness' of a product as well as how effective and how efficient it is. Now the main point of our topic are indians are not conscious about the fineness of the products they used? in my opinion YES they are quality conscious. We can divide indians in two arts one is rural and other is urban.
Firstly the rural Indian as we know that the large part of population resides in villages are illiterate and poor so they don't bother about the quality of the things which are not vital for life but if it is matter of education or nutrition you can see that even a labour or farmer or a rikshawpullar wants their children to read in a good reputed english medium school. The children of villages working hard to got admission in IIT, IIMS, AIMS which are providing best quality education in India.
Now if we take example of urban India they are more educated and rich enough to buy branded cloth, watches. E-gadget and it proved by the fact that now a days every mnc has a branch in India.
Now if someone gives example of china mobile than I want to ask how many of you are using china mobile? and the answer at maximum time I supposed to get in a 'no'.
So I think its matter of affordability and knowledge. These two factors are deciding that any one is either it is indian, american or japanies is quality conscious or not. |

Hi friends,
Well as far as my opinion says I would say it is not about less or more quality consciousness it is just about the purchasing power of an individual. A poor man will buy thing according to his need he is just keen to satisfy his hunger or need because he don't have so much of money so that he can buy a better quality product his core objective is to fulfill his basic requirement like-roti kapda and makan where as if we talk about the rich people they definitely look for the best because they have so much amount of money to spend on buying quality products. So the differences exist between individual. Rich and poor not Indian or any other one. |

And the dominating factor is Individuals purchasing power, because India being a developing country various person to person, which effects the quality of goods purchased by people. They have to acquire all things to satisfy their needs as much as possible. |

| As we know that it's an economic fact that if the income increases, people tend to improve their lifestyle. Moreover in India the average per capital income is increasing and it is more for the city folks than the countryside people. That's why more city people can afford branded and good quality goods than the countryside people. Also it's not that we aren't quality conscious! The fact is that we have to utilize our resources to it's best rather than just using quality goods with a debt in our hand. |

| We cannot say that the Indians are not quality conscious. If we take any other country, all the poor people will accept whatever they get for the money they had. They don't think it had quality or not. But when compared to the other countries, the people living in India are somewhat less developed, they accept the things which they get. |

Hello friends,
As far as I am thinking Indians are almost less quality conscious and the reason behind this is nation's poverty and all traditional orthodox thinking. Actually no one wants to compromise with quality but his frugality pushes him to compromise with quality. But still literate, hi profile people never go to hotels which give this quality foods and it is almost unacceptable to make partitions like Indian and non Indian because people from developing countries are almost same might be bad than Indians. For branded items it is impossible to get it in same cost as local product. |

| In my view, Indian are highly quality conscious, but the manufacturers or service providers for making quick money are providing the less quality products. Quality is not meant for only rich class, but its the business ethics of the producer or service provider to produce good quality product for the consumer. |

I'm not fully agree with this comment that Indians are less quality conscious. India has a great history about every field of knowledge. In ancient time our great guru' had very conscious even about what we need to eat in what seasons. They give the instruction to the peoples for them.
Now India is a highly populated country so demand of the goods are very high it is a usual things of a populated country. So, great demand offer the company's to enter in the market to make the products in large quantity. This production in bulk sometime decrease the quality of the product.
In India most of the people are live below the poverty line and fulfil their basic needs very hardly. And some people in this country are very rich they purchase everything luxuries which they liked. But all the class of the people who live in what situation are try to get best quality for which he is able to pay whether he is poor or rich. Both are very conscious about the quality of things but within their limits. |

| Quality comes with money. In India most of the people come under middle class. If poor people go with quality product they cannot feed themselves. Because quality product leads to more money. These people are quantity conscious not quality conscious people try to buy more things with less price they doesn't bother about quality. While coming to rich they are greedy for quality. For example rich people travel in planes, ac compartments in trains where as poor people cannot afford to rich style in terms quality products. Poor people travel in share autos where as rich hire fare auto this is the simple difference. Poor people go to tea stalls, small hotels, where as rich people go to coffee days, taj hotels etc so, we can neither say India as quality conscious nor quantity conscious it depends on individual. |

As we see today's peoples test are totally changed by western style thus he know what is best and what is cheap but it depend on only and only in peoples income level. Poor people not afford that thus they use cheap quality things but they never want cheap things at all. All person want best quality goods to eat, to wear, etc. Indians are conscious about quality. |

Hi.
In India where most of the families are middle class and about 30% population is below poverty line thinking about quality is not at all obvious. Biggest question in front of Indians is to fulfill their basic requirement that too when they don't earn much. So its very obvious that to survive and fulfill their desires and needs they go to the products which can give them more in low prices. Secondly most of the people in India are unaware and are in rural villages they don't even know about various brands available in the market which provide good product. |

They are comparing the prices and compromise the quality for the lesser prices.They comparatively prefer less priced items with lesser life or quality to high quality items with slightly higher prices. Even in jewellery items they throng to the shops which gives more discounts without minding the quality. They are ready to purchase items frequently with low quality than a high quality items with more life of usage. |

I agree with those who said that we Indians are quality conscious because when it comes to have good food and all basic amenities we look for quality products. It is a matter of fact that for quality products we need to have a surplus amount of money so that we can spend on it.
As per the case of branded outlets their number is increasing day by day, this shows that we are quality conscious. |

Hello Friends,
Consumption of quality product needs affordability, likability, competitive cultural environment and and most importantly knowledge and education.
With reference to the above statement I would like to tell that more than 70% Indian people are living in rural areas and that is where Indians lack behind.
But as Indian economy progresses the educating/educated youth coming out from rural to urban areas, they will be standing in line with high living standard society and could change those above factors, and that will hide the tag about the consciousness of we Indians'. |

For compliting their daily demand people of India can compromise with quality becouse if they can give preference to the quality they can not make their demand complete. Also rich peole can only afford the quality not the poor (ie middle class or below povrty line) one and most the people in India are from middle class. |

They have not enought time and resources to think quality in everything still they try to buy better quality bread and butter, provides their children education to their best effort. They are more balanced and concious about quality because consumer is not a fool in the market he know what he is going to buy for which he is ready to pay.

According to me the equation is very clear.. "Higher the Demand, Higher the Price". Demand is high due to high population. To fulfill high demand products have to be compromised with quality. If we see since last 1 decade, our life style has changed drastically.
1. Take case of very daily need i.e milk. Due to high demand the milk quality has gone down, mixed with lots of chemical and contaminated water. Reason for high demand is modernization, villagers are rushing towards urban (due to isolation and zero support from govt.), unwillingness to do hard work.
2. Now take an example of a building (house/apartment/office) built. Here quality is compromised with high labor rates and most importantly corruption.
3. Quality is also getting compromised with patienceless people, where entrepreneur is in rush of earning quick money without any botheration of end users.
To quickly summarize i would say Indians are not less quality conscious, but they are forced to compromise with less quality highly due corruption, inflation, unplanned govt. aims and unfocused missions. Unpreparedness of govt. against natural disaster which in-turn increases price and people are forced to go with low quality.
Quality is still there but at very higher price (due to above said points), which has become unaffordable by a normal living Indian, hence "forced" to manage with low quality. |

Hello Friends,
The quality consciousness differs from people to people and from case to case. As many of you already quoted various examples, situations or needs where same people react differently. But here I would like to highlight the tendency of Indians that at the time when it is a must to go for quality rather than quantity, we always go for quality.
I would also like to bring the attention of my friends on the availability of all the multinational brands in our market. These brands are doing good in our country and opening outlets in various cities also. If there is no/less consumption of these product, how could they grow in our country? Hence the statement that Indians are less quality consicous is totally not true.
I agree with the views of my friends who say that there is significant relationship between money and quality. This is also a bitter fact that a small portion of people hold large amount of money in our country. So when it comes to comfort most of the people compromise with the quality, as they give more prefernce to saving rather than being extravagant on current comforts, which in a way is a thing to make us proud about our country or our people. |

Yes Indian are less quality conscious because of few reasons:.
1. Most of the people in India find it hard to earn even a daily bread so quality even doesnt come in picture.
2. Lack of awareness among the people. Most of the people compromise on quality of food items and water because dey are nt aware of the cons of that. |

I'll agree with most of the arguements. We indians are well aware about our financial situations and like to spend accordingly. Even if we have money, we tend to save it for further use, this habbit has been cultivated in us since our childhood. Yes we are quality concious but it depends on the occasions, for eg, parents will always buy standard things for their children as they won't compromise with their health but when it comes for their own safety they'll think thrice before spending lavishly.
Its also the case between our grandparents and us, its due to our generation gap.
Yes we are quality concious when we want to flaunt our brands in front of our friends but most of the time its money first. But indians are generally of the view that better quality means more money, but its not always true. The good thing is that people are aware about it now. |

Hi friends,
As India is a devloping country, people here want to use huge brand products but can't afford it. So they go for local or duplicate things. Those things doesnt have quality.
Recent Chinease mobile concept proves my statement. We all know that mobile quality was worst but the features provide by them in that much amount of money tends to highest market capture by them.
This ultimatly creats image of Indian people that they are not conscious about Quality. But they don't think about future that if they will buy a duplicate material then its life won't last long and will die without giving desired results for which it was brought.
Education is also a big affecting factor. As illitercy rate is more in India so thinking of quality is less amongst people.
But Now a days due to globalization, Organizationsand people are getting concerned about quatily. Many having their own quality policy with mission and values. |

| Dear friends who don't want QUALITY either you or anybody else. When you travel in train every body wants to drink packed drinking water, when we go out for food everybody wants to have lunch or dinner in lavish restaurants isn't it? But at the end of the day it is the wallet of people speaks either to have quality or not. SO STRAIGHT AWAY coming to conclusion that we Indian don't like quality is inappropriate we should not forgot India is country of villages and economically and educationally it will take time to reach to heights and no Indian at that day will compromise with quality. |

| On my point of view,yes at some extent majority of Indian's are quantity conscious and it is because of their financial conditions. They have to think about their children's and dear one's education,health and future so they need to spend more in savings rather than less important or luxury items.For them it is easy to compromise on less important items rather than compromise with their future. |

| I agree with all my friends who said that it is not about quality but more about the affordability. Unlike our western counterparts who are spendthrifts, our major chunk of population believes in giving much more prefernce to saving than to spending lavishly. This is partly due to tha fact that we need to save mainly for the good health and also for the education of our children. On the other hand, in western countries, health and education are covered by the governmnt. Hence, the citizens are not concerned about much saving. Hence, while buying certain products (like clothes, gadgets, shoes, bags etc) we are ready to compromise for the quality of these products so that the money which is saved can be used for our better future. |

| According to me quality conciousness differs on the basis of annual income. Middle class man would like to buy a product which would give them best quality at reasonable price, while a poor man will not care about the quality of product in maximum cases. It's true Indian do have affinity towards branded products which would give us gauranteed quality products espcially when it comes to gadgets, but large sections of society do compromise with quality as with rise in quality rises the price. |

I think a big part of India are not quality consious. Whether it is a rural are or a big metro somewhere people start to compromise with quality. We know that a big amount of chinees product imports in India which were rejeted there. We use it as it is cheaper. Indian attract towards quantity not quality. And if we talk about manufacturing industries of India they not producing high quality product. Most of the people who are aware about quality they try to get imported or product from mnc. E. G levi's, rebook, apple. So qualtiy even coming from abroad.
It means Indian are not quality consious. |

| I don't think Indians are lack in quality conscious because you can see the developments of many multinational brands in India just because of giving good quality to people needs. What Indians expect is that cheap price with good quality many mobile brands are there in India but most of the people use to prefer quality brands like Nokia Samsung if we are lack in quality consciousness how these multinational brands are gaining more popularity in India? think! this is just because of quality only a small percentage of people use to prefer cheap products but the products which satisfy the customer needs surely that company would be gain popularity there is no doubt about it. |

Hi my point of view regarding this matter is. Indians always look for quantity more than the quality regardless whatever it is. We are no way concerned about the health even more than the quantity which we get over the quality of products.
First of all Indians are very narrow minded. So that they try to use to product or a thing which is used by his or her friends relatives and so on. They don't think about anything in that concern.
Many companies in India try to cut the prices so as to decrease the quality even more than what we expect on it. I conclude that Indians very partial indeed to select their use of product on there own. |

Hi friends, as per my view first our indians people more concious about money than quqntity or quality. Beause money always maters and some time quality, lets see 1 eg.
A poor man, when he purchaed a new cloth for him that time he doesnt care about quality, but the same person when standing on bus station or railway station with thrusty that time he didn't care about MONEY. He thinks only about health.
What I can say, our indians people more concious about quality but they adjust as per there situation where to give more pefrence. |

| Indians are never less quality conscious regarding the fact in our villages or our parents always prefer the word 'sudh'means pure. Indians always prefer sudh ghee over dalda, they always want milk, or other healthy vegitable and don't use the hybrided grains. In case of education an average Indian wants their chidren to study in good school and collages like IIT, IIMS. If you take a look on post independence era you can realize that as the literacy increses indians are moving towards a great life style regarding the fact of affordability. And very good example about this the rivalry between India and china. If china has capability of producing goods more than India than India produces far more good quality products then china. |

As per my nature, I want to say 3, 4 things direct point to point.
1) as you know the people of india, 70%does not (less) belive in quality. Bcz, for good quality, we have to pay more money. Hehe. And you know Indian people, they never give money for their health.
2 the mind set of Indian people is always jst like a, they want always more quantity, they never worried about the quality. Take a examples of us, including me: are we worried about milk quality?water?food? we ever do a try to check the quality of thing, which we are going to use,
3) FSSAI, if you hear the name of this organization, its a India act, which corss check the quality of food. And all the vendors or consumers are in india, they must have a allow certificate of this FSSAI.
So, atlast I jst want to say :belive in QUALITY. Not in QUANTITY. |

| We Indians are actually quality conscious, but we always crib about quality when we have to pay a price for the quality product. I working for manufacturing firm and working as a quality engineer have gone through this a number of times. Whenever we say quality the first thing that comes to our mind is COST. The best example that comes to my mind is the so called SALE period, the product when not on sale we refraim from buying just because it is expensive and the same item when it goes on sale the thinking changes. |

The standard of living has risen significantly over last few years, still their is some room for more development but Indians are more or less at par with their western counterparts. |

It is not about quality or quantity it is all about affordability . In India nobody hates quality products and nobody loves inferior products.We people are choosy , choosy in the sense we go for ordinary slippers or bags , because we use it for very short span of time no matter if it serves for a little lesser time when compared with branded items.But when it comes to medicine or food items or buying a two wheeler , we go for branded items this is because we prioritize things which is important and which is not.
We can see that in a railway station or bus stands most of the people will carry a water bottle with them which costs around 15 to 20 rupees ,because they are aware of the risk of drinking contaminated water they cant afford to take risk on such cases. So they drink packaged drinking water here quality matters .So Indians are quality conscious people with some terms and conditions. When their percapita income also raises at par with western nations they don't worry about praises and live a complete and a so called branded life. |

| If we speak about 10 years back then definitely India was more quantity conscious rather then quality. But in these modern day, I believe we have started to change our views. Why do people go for Sony in electronics, Honda in scooters and Yamaha in bikes. The only reason is that these products are superior in terms of quality and technology. I am naming those products because these products are very much common to middle class people. I want to hear an honest answer from everyone which one will you choose if you would given a chance, quality or quantity. After all we are the Indians why not ask ourselves. |

| Ok friends. What I need to say is that quality is the term most likely understood and respected by the citizens of modern India. The literacy rates in our country has being increasing rapidly and so the awareness of common people. It used to be happened in the past when the people where more concerned about the price. They used to bargain about the price of the product. What now people prefer is to go in shops that give the products at fixed rate no matter if it is aviable at high price because they are worried upon the products quality. |

People perefer cheaper quality clothes, cosmetics, food and other livelihood to save money inspite of being so uncomfortable with it. I suggest that people should go for quality. May be you need to pay a little higher for it, but it gives you comfort, more reliability and more guarantee. |

| Hi friends. Talking about quality, in India I can say that people here are really concerned about quality. Sometimes it's the money doesn't matter much because when we go to buy stuffs we first check for the brand and sometimes the expiry period. Take the example of the Mumbai Dabbawalas, they are a good example of quality service they provide even at a lower price. But sometimes I feel things in india are quite random. When it comes to technology in india quality hardly matters, there money is the primary concern. Take the example of Tata Nano. which I feel a car affordable by every middle class indian at the cost of some quality, So overall I feel India is both quality concerned as well as a thing that matters is the capacity to buy the product.

There are also no quality parameter to check the politicians work. We never demand for our rights. We pay the money some times that are no were related to quality for example we go to many public places like busstation, buses theaters were they do not maintain the proper sanitation services but we use the toilets by paying the money there. So quality is really a constraint here. |

Although, what all have said is true and I totally agree with them. However, there is another side to this issue. The set of principles that the west follows is different than our country. In the western countries like US or UK or Canada, people live there life lavishly. Even when they don't earn proportionally, still their expenses are high. They rely more on credit. They will by a big house, a latest model car, would go on an expensive holiday package, buy expensive stuff, and all these on credit. Their entire lives they spend their income on fulfilling there loans and EMIs. Though it looks great from the outside but there financial condition is always on the edge and when I say about these, I am talking about the major chunk of people out there.
However, in India, we are taught from our early childhood about the learning of saving. We are strictly taught that if we don't have money to buy, we should not buy it on credit. I think that it is different that people might be poor and they can't afford it. But, it is also a proud fact that we Indians don't go out of our way to fulfill our desires at any cost. That is just not our mentality. There are many people who can afford branded and expensive clothes, but they don't because they know the rewards of savings. A common man in India may not have money to buy expensive clothes, may be living in a small house, may not be driving even a motorcycle, but you will always find that he has money to spend on the marriages of his children, he has money to cremate his parents when they die.
And, we all how the economy in US, UK and European Countries is doing. This is all because of the fact that they are burdened with loans, they don't have money to save, it all goes to their EMI payments. Even, the government there has taken loans more than they can pay. China is a lender to these countries for the major part of it.
So, at the end I would like to conclude that western countries are quality conscious even when they cannot afford it and We Indians, have the money sense. Its not about using quality products. It is all about knowing our limits. |

Indian people are not less quality conscious its just that they don't have enough money to buy quality goods, they should satisfy themselves with low quality goods, some people don't know the importance of quality especially in rural area because they more focused on price. Even if a common man wants to buys quality goods he has to think two times before spending money and when he look around their are many cheaper options available which initially fulfill the desire the of person. For example if a person wants to buy a smartphone of apple and suppose he don't know the price he just want to buy it because he saw it in his friend's hands so when he learns about the its features and price he looks for cheaper options available in micromax android phone so he will go for that.
So even if the hunger of quality an Indian go for a low quality product. |

| In India according to me they are quality conscious of course if quality is high price of that product would also be high. So most of the indians would go for cheap prices. But unknowingly they will spend as much as they could ve spent for the quality product. For example if we buy a cheap product it may give trouble and hence accounts for renovation cost of that product. So if we buy quality product it won't give trouble that often that a cheap product would give. So unknowingly people are spending lots money on cheap products rather they can buy quality product with the same money. Infact they might spend more on cheaper product than quality product. People should understand this that they can save more money if they buy quality products. |

| In my opinion Indian people conscious about quality but are more conscious about prices of product also both goes hand to hand. For instance Maruti, people are aware about the company product and more loyal towards that because Maruti meets quality and price factor both. So to consider this instance as prove we can decide people are aware about quality but pricing factor hinder them to go to branded world. And 2nd foctor is nature, After achieving 54000 per capita income we are not going towards the branded product because we have saving nature that which hinder us to buy branded product. So we can say we are conscious but saving nature and pricing factor hinder us. |

This topic talks about quality consciousness amongst the Indians. I read a lot of posts that most of us have shared and people have come up with very good points. I have some different set of points pertaining to this topic.
- When we see Indians as a resource working in an organization, I feel most of them are satisfied with our jobs.There is no real inquisitiveness to explore and learn, they are more concerned with the salaries they draw than the knowledge.Thus quality thus doesn't come out, they are to blame themselves.
- Our education system presses more on rote learning, theories and scoring marks and less on the practical aspects.Our colleges and universities stress more on the packages/salaries than the the quality of individual (example most of the management institutes).Thus quality doesn't come out, courtesy our education system.
- The private sector and MNCs spend very less amount of resources on research and development thus lowering the opportunities to spend some quality time in exploring technologies.Employees are made to work only within limits and any such desires to learn and grow are often denied. Doesn't this affect the quality of an individual.
So I feel we cannot blame any one person/organization but it is the system as a whole that seriously needs to be looked into. |

| HELLO friends. As you all have already discussed the main points of concern, I am just giving a single point of mine that is what in the present world can be defined as quality. If we are taking an example or if we are comparing Mr Obama with our pm sardar manmohan singh. What will we get. Some western affected person will say that Mr obama is more quality concious because he wears suit instead of our Indian prime minister singh. Some people think that wearing western clothes or eating sandwiches and pizzas are the sign of high quality living. But it is not true. So in my opinion conciousness doesnt need money or higher post. Some of us were telling about the illetrate poor indians but the poor people all over the world can not afford armani or gucci. |

According to me quality conciousness speaks differently to different people, like a labourer is spending money on the education of his child and that is what quality means to him rather than buying a high ending technical gadget.
I think the people who has the money and even knowledge, should have to be bring into the limelight of buying a good quality product or not. |

Hello dear friends.
I appriciate your view points on this topic, I think there are two reasons behind the quality consciouness of Our Indian Peoples First is ILLITRACY, And Second which is big one is Financial Condition of Our peoples. Comming to the first point Rural peoples are illitrate who are unconcious about the new trends in the market, so they spend their entire life in there old lifestyle. Second factor is the Financial Condition of the Indian Peoples which hinders them to Purchase High Quality Goods. Maybe 80% of the peoples are quality conscious but their Financial Condition doesn't allow them to Cross the limits. Every one desires to have Branded Quality Goods, Doesn't You ? but the 'MONEY' in our Pocket Deside the quality Not 'WE'. So in the End I want to say that Indian peoples are 'Quality Conscious' but Their financial status makes them 'PRICE CONSCIOUS'. Thank you. |

| I am agree with the fact that indians are less quality conscious rather than they want quantity but as said by the other people the major problem is the financial status of the public and the second thing that there eduacational background is also resposible for there lack or awareness about quality. Because I have seen in some rural areas where the people are good enough reach but still they don't care much about quality so this makes the point very clear that the poorness is not the only reason for lack of awareness but the poor educational background is also one of the strong reason for it. |

| Yes, the quality consciousness depends on economical condition but which type of goods or service we avail also matters in case of Indians, Example we know that in case of food most of the Indians prefer tasty food rather than quality food. Road side food vendors are most populous than 5 star hotels. And in case of services like education etc rich Indians are obviously quality conscious, this may not be the case in other countries. |

| Speaking frankly there's a great divide in India itself. Showing two India one rich one poor, at one hand you find ultra rich Indians piling up at Forbes richest people list, on the other hand children in India are dying of malnutrition. Rich go for quality as they have got enough to spend. But the middle class and poor have to stay within their budget, in fact for poor there's no quality they just want to buy the most their penny offer's. So the question "Are Indians Quality conscious?" would totally depend upon their lifestyle and purchasing power! |

I think the main problem is not that Indians are not quality conscious, the main problem is their financial condition. When you go to buy any product you have two choices with a constraint of a given sum of money. Either you can buy a large quantity of that product of not so superior quality or you can buy a less quantity of superior quality product. Now as we all know the financial condition of India it is pretty predictable that many people are below poverty line so they are the ones who have to satisfy themselves with not so superior quality products as quality comes with a price.
But as the time is passing buy, people are getting aware of good quality, and the ones who can afford it are going for that. |

| Hello friends I think that indians are less quality concious because of less awareness about the development around, see everything now a days stops to money seller wants to gain nd purchaser too. Due to lack of awareness mostly people think that the good they are purchasing is good and they buy that, due to some attractive feature may be some discount or something else. And after that they realise the things. |

| Look, its not that people in India are less quality conscious in fact it is the economic condition of the people that forces them to be less conscious about quality because here a majority of the population consists of middle, lower middle and poor class who have to fight to fulfil their even their major requirements they cannot dare to choose quality when they have to compromise even for the smallest of quantity, although scenario is changing these days but it will still take time and that time would be how many years nobody can predict, its always the economic condition that governs the choice of quality as well as quality. |

Hello friends.
According to my opinion in our country from various class people belong are, middle, lower middle class and the last but not least poor class. Poor class people are those people who are not able to collect 1 time meal for themselves or for their family so purchase quality product is dream for them. Let's take example of maids which work in our home. Whatever we are give them either food or old clothes they take it happily without checking food is hygienic or unhygienic or clothes quality because they cannot afford it. And ma last point is poor people aim only to take two meal for themselves and for their family. Its a real situation in our world. |

| I think that every coin has two sides if we look on the rural area people have not that much money to buy good quality products so they buy the cheapest ones regardless of the price but on the other hand he people residing in the cities (especially middle class) they are more frugal and conscious in this aspect. |

People are less consious about products quality and concentrate more on the quantity and free products because of their economic status.Though the people are becoming aware of the products quality they are not able to buy that.
When a product is first left in the market,initially the people will concentrate on quality.Later on,the people will concentrate on company's name only rather on their quality. |

| Hi dear friends! It is not that Indians are not conscious of the quality of the products they buy. But the question is is their income sufficient to buy those in ratio to their income and again save for the future. In my opinion it is this compromise that they have to minimise the quality issue in this regard. |

I appreciate all of your view but from my point of view, I think that people of India are combination of quality concious & unconcious. Most of Indian are from rural population. For those people quality of product depend on MONEY. They are unable to buy a high quality product which has high value. Sometime it may be from illittericy. But those people are litterate and lives in town they know quality of a product and they are able to buy a quality or branded product.
For this resion I am saying that indians are combination of quality concious & unconcious. |

Hi guys.
After hearing all the above points, I can say that India being a devloping nation has become enough conscious weather its the mater of quality or quantity. N thy have rit to see the qulity product, if we look to the rich people so the ratio of rich n poor is 9:5 so enev nowdays literacy can't b the issue, cos evry one needs to the good one, if the have a money thy can buy the best one. Now the issue of knowledge dose'nt matter, money is the matter where indians is not that shortage of money. Guys its not the matter of chance its, now its the matter of choice.
Not even Indian evry person wants the bestest out of best. |

I don't think that Indians are less quality conscious but they are the people who always try to purchase the best out of their earning capacity. If one buys NOKIA C6 mobile and other person buys the CHINESE mobile from the same shop so by this we can not say that that other person is less quality conscious but he is a man who also want to enjoy the songs and videos or camera in his mobile as in NOKIA mobile but why he was not able to buy the good quality NOKIA mobile. It was because it was not in the budget of that particular person.
As you know that today also in India, a huge number of people are below poverty line. They also want to buy branded clothes, watch and some other basic things and ofcourse they buy all these but mainly from a flea market where there is no good brand. It is not because they are less quality conscious but because they have to think about there stomach, about their children's hunger before purchasing all these good items and if now also you want to say that they are less quality conscious then yes they are. |

Good morning friends,
Thanks for all your valuable comments. I was going through this topics and thought I could also contribute a bit. The term 'Indians are less quality conscious is somewhat unfair for Indian rural population which ofcourse is the majority of our population. How can you expect quality consciousness from those people who are hardly getting there 2 time meal. THINK ABOUT IT!
Apart from this illiteracy is also a factor when people can not understand the quality of the product. Take the example of china's products, they are very illfamous in world market. Why these items are not being sold in you. S. , you. K. And some other developed country? The answer is as clear as a crystal i.e. because those people have the knowledge about the product but not our rural people have this art.
I will like to end up my point by saying that its not our people who are less quality conscious but there are other factors which are making them PRICE CONSCIOUS NOT QUALITY CONSCIOUS. Because as a lot friend said who does not want to live a luxurious life. Won't you? |

Hello everybody
I appreciate all of ur views whatever u given . But one thing i want to add that Indian have more knowledge about the quality of the products for EXAMPLE if you go to any for selling any product it may be cloths or other products if u meet any lady at first she will check quality of the product (she may be illiterate also ) but she know better about the quality of the products . In most of the villages/towns old man( villagers) wearing good quality of the Dhoti-kurta but today the young generation is more intelligent and smart than elders they want good quality only they know if they will buy low level product it will take few months only than it is better go for better quality products , so according to me it may be wrong that We/Indian have less quality conscious. |

| In India about 30% of the population lies below the poverty line. About only 5% of the population belong to the high class which can afford to pay the price demanded for good quality goods. Most of the middle income and low income groups make do with substandard goods. But now with the increase of globalization Indian society have become more quality conscious. They are demanding quality goods and have realized it is more beneficial to buy good quality goods which are durable and last longer. The Indian people are demanding luxury goods such as Harley Davidson,Mercedes. As the MNCs continue to enter India the Indian people are becoming more and more quality conscious. We should draw aline between quality conscious and brand conscious as the latter is not desirable especially for a developing country like India. As the Indian consumers are becoming more quality conscious the domestic companies too are forced to modify their goods to make them of better quality. |

| Hai everybody I appreciate you for your great thoughts. In my opinion Indian people are very conscious but amount of money play a vital role. Everybody wants good goods and services because of lack of money they choose cheaper advertisement also play a vital role. Because of good advertisement people may buy cheap goods I am also an Indian I too want good quality goods but now my capacity does not allow. |

Hello friends.
I respect you all for your views. According to me the Indian are sure quality conscious but keep on mind that India's 60 % population are living under billow poverty line therefor it is bound for them to compromise in quality because of their financial status as some my friend pointed out that in this who does not want to lead a luxuries life but the money which determines their way of living. Hence we never claim that Indian's are not quality conscious at the end of the conclusion I can say that the country which is developed and the financial condition of their citizens is well they can afford for better quality, and I am sure day will come the current condition and way of living of Indian's will be better and all people become more conscious about quality of product. |

Hello friends.
My point of view about the "QUALITY CONSCIOUS", its only depends on the money and we can say that also people's thinking.
I'm not agree that Indians are less quality conscious because every people wants the better quality but again the problem is affordability because rich people are affordable the branded things but the poor people can't be affordable even they have the knowledge about the branded things and wants to purchase.
I wanna give you some example suppose rich people went in the mall and takes branded things even no need that but only for the show off (it's case only for some people not for all) but if the poor people goes in the mall they will see the price only because they can't be afford that thing.
That's why I can't be agree with that the Indians are less quality conscious. |

Hi friend's,
I first thanks to all of you for your views but I think Indian's are good quality conscious as compared to other countries. According to me, Quality conscious is not only means to wear costly branded products. As we know that India is Agricultural country. There has been mostly villages except some big cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Bangalore etc. Apart from this,
India are attracted to every corner of countries. It is just because of good quality conscious. whereas in dressing point of view it's not too bad as compared to other countries Indian dressing are different in different states. |
