Are Indians Less Quality Conscious?

Quality, unlike quantity, is not measurable to be prescribed as high or low. We live in a country where the majority are middle class or lower middle class. These people have to cope with many problems and scarcity here where one of them is unemployment. Though the government is trying their best to provide education to each and everyone but that does not eradicate unemployment. So in a country where the rate of population growth is far more compared to the rate of employment people even if they are concerned about quality they have no choice as it is out of affordable range. They are trying their best to purchase quality products as they can within their affordable range. So it can be concluded that people here are conscious about quality, it's just that they can't afford the rate of quality needed for a happy and secure life.

Hello everyone,

In my point of view today people are much health conscious they prefer good and best quality product. But we don't ignore the weaker section of our society as they are not capable enough to make a purchase of the better quality product. If govt. make some efforts to uplift this weaker section then I think we Indians are very much quality conscious.In countries like USA people are very much health conscious. Even developed countries have an intake of 3400 calories with good quality products per individual but in India calories, intake is only 2976 then how we will grow and make our country develop. At last, I just want to say that quality consciousness among Indians be there only if better facilities be there if better facilities & good earnings are there then everyone will prefer to live a quality life.

Yes, I agree, I know our mindset is like this if we are getting more from somewhere then we give priority to that thing and many times it also proves as a good decision. But we don't do this every time. If we have enough money for something then we don't compromise with quality. Our quality compromises by our quantity (money).

In India we most of the people belong to a middle-class family. So sometimes to fulfill our needs we have to compromise with quality.

I partially agree to the point because in our country many people are conscious about the quality but because of their less income they will compromise with quality and some people even they are getting good annual income they attract towards pay less get more concept so in my point of view Indians are conscious about quality but due to certain reasons they compromises with quality.

Good morning everyone.

In my view, Indians are quality conscious. But due to lack of necessary environment, we Indian can't show that we are quality conscious.

As many people in India are poor that's why they can't afford quality products. Quality doesn't mean only in food products but also in the quality of living. Moreover, there is no implementation of rules and regulation. That's why we don't bother for any penalty. At last we Indian are quality conscious if provided a better environment. That's all.

Hello, everyone! I don't think Indians are less quality conscious. Everyone looks for a good quality. But Some of the markets offer fewer quality products at a low rate so people are attracted to them. Some people have less usage of some products so, in this case, they may buy low-quality ones. Those who want to use a product every day will opt for good quality. Depending on the person it differs. But most of the people first check the quality, then only buy them. Only a few people buy such low-quality ones.

Thank you!

In India, there are different class of people living together. The quality is also different as the class. Because each person can't afford anything which he wants. He has to compromise for quality or at least for quantity. There are many duplicate products with the same taste more in quantity but not good in quality. Eg-: If we go in shopping mall we can see on hand there is maggie sauce and on other hands, there is tomato ketchup with some different in size and less in price. The middle-class family will prefer that as they are giving same taste good in quantity as well. So they won't focus on quality somewhere.

I don't think Indians are less quality conscious. As we all know that India consists of different segment of people. Premium Segment (Rich) people are quality conscious as for them spending money is no problem. But for lower middle class and low classes, money matters. Due to this reason some people prefer e-commerce sites like Flipkart, Snapdeal to get some discounts on same quality product.

Thank you.

Yes, Indians are less quality conscious but that is only because of the social condition of India.

What is Quality?

- It is the degree of excellence of a product (usually finish product) or a service being bought or availed by a person. This feeds of excellence can be multidimensional as the service of the provider of the product, user-friendly designing & after sale service.

- It is a level of excellence which is assumed by a customer against the paid extra high prices. Eg: A phone of Apple is compared to a Micromax phone.

Why India is less quality Conscious?

- India is a developing Country & for every developing economy it is of prime importance to full fill the need rather than trailing the quality standards. As in India, we expect a product to be low cost so that everyone can purchase it.

- A quality product is less costly than other products of the same range.

Yes, India is less quality conscious why because let us take 2rupee rice what the govt provides this rice is mainly taken by poor people and the middle-class people also need money for their children or some things they need so they prefer to take that without seeing quality every one need quality but according to their situations they prefer this.
