Are Indians Less Quality Conscious?

According to me, Indians are less conscious because out of 100% of people, 60% of the people are below poverty line in India. As I want to say that the rural area's people are not quality conscious that doesn't mean all people are not conscious. In rural area people are having low economic condition so they can't buy quality goods. It is the fact that education of people directly proportional to quality of life. So quality consciousness directly depend on the economic condition of an individual person.

People are much aware of many things around them. In the past years people give much importance to money but not quality, but as for now, people are much aware of quality but not quantity or money. At present many deaths are happening due to lack of quality food and also using cheap liquids for mixing up in milk used for babies, this should be eradicated in order to make India healthy. Comparing from our grandfather and up to us the lifespan of people is reducing due to heavy usage of quality fewer products.

Thank you.

I am presenting my views on the topic - "Are Indians less quality concerned".

According to me, this is a wrong notion seeing the present scenario. From decades the debate of quality vs quantity is going on. In every aspect of our life, we have to face this issue especially while purchasing. Although money is an important factor in deciding whether we should opt for quality or quantity, the perspective of a person is also important. Sometimes people give so much importance to money that they forget about quality. India consists of poor, middle and rich class.

Talking about the poor class of people, they cannot afford to check about quality. Its only the middle class or rich people who can afford it. Before 2000, Very few people of India were quality conscious. But with the rise in the no. Of middle classes more and more people are becoming quality conscious. That's the reason why the competition among retailers is rising and they are flooding the Indian market with the quality products. Also, the entry of foreign companies has made the competition tough but this has only ensured quality in the products.

Another aspect which I want to focus on is that it is not necessary that higher the price of the product, higher will be its quality. One's primary focus should be on buying quality products, but if it is not in affordable range then the consumer had to purchase a low-quality product. So, it will be wrong on our part to say that Indians are not quality conscious.

Thank You.

According to me most of the people of India are quality conscious but they Compromise with it due to lack of money. And we can see that in rich and poor families.

I agree with the statement we Indians always prefer a quality over the quantity.

As discussed in an earlier discussion we have assorted class of societies while every individual wants to have a better quality of goods but at some point, they need to restrain the best considering some factors which do not suit their pockets.

Apparently, Indians are the best choice makers as they go with both trend and quality.

Not at all. According to me in this time we have become more conscious about the quality of a product or something. It's also true that we were not even aware of this word 'QUALITY' in our previous time or we can say that we were so miser and quantity oriented not quality. But now we prefer BRAND. It doesn't mean that we have become rich. Kanjoosi is in our blood. We only buy a branded product when there is 40%, 50% or up to 100% off its just because we have become smart enough to manage our money without compromising the quality.

Indians less conscious because for the lack of Awareness, Awareness process are very low in India, nowadays awareness is increasing, people are aware now and all the are happening due to competition in markets so we need to strengthen our markets as well by implementing reformation.

Indian are quality conscious or not, it can't be commented that easily but yes we if we have liberty of choosing a product having different prices, most of us most of the times prefer to have the cheaper one and high cost doesn't ensure that the product will be of better quality, it may ensure it but it will definitely not ensure that the cheaper one will not be as per the quality of it.

The reason behind such a behaviour of us is our history. During the British era, most of the Indians were very much deprived of even the basic necessities of our life and to get it we had to rely on the substandard products which tended to cheap. Now after independence, our living standards improved significantly but habit of spending less hasn't. So still we most of the time prefer to go with the cheap alternative of any product. We are improving on it and as number of Indians are coming out of the poverty, more are they conscious regarding the quality of product they are using, but still most of us don't and they are most seen and thus we develop a notion that we Indians are not quality conscious.

Yes, Indians are quality conscious. The only reason is an Economic status that compels us to do so. Can you expect a below average income family to go and shop in luxurious shopping malls for the sake of quality? The answer is simply No, rather they would prefer local cheap type markets. We might find the difference between a normal T-Shirt and a branded T-Shirt like Reebok, but still, both cover our bodies, and you can't deny this fact. So, if we can afford such branded equipment, then obviously we will go for it.

I want to add one more point, it is not necessary a brand product has good quality. Some of the local manufacturers are in the market, they provide a good quality product at a normal price. Everyone wants good quality.
