Are Indians Less Quality Conscious?

Hello guys,

My opinion about Indians is may be a bit different than yours.

I think Indians are very wise and on focus price as well as quality. Being an Indian I will always buy a thing that is available at a cheap price and good quality.

Because of this cheap price many people think that the material is of low quality. They never know that the material is the best that could have been bought at this price.

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.

In my opinion, yes, we sometimes can be. For most people, accessibility to quality products gets restricted due to the huge unorganized market. One would rather buy a sub-standard product from the retail store than go to the mall 5km from their locality. This only focuses on the inefficient supply chain that compromises quality for profit.

Substandard schools, food wastage, high shelf life (FMCG), hygiene (open slaughterhouses) etc. Are some of the examples.

Of course, there are those that are extremely conscious of what they buy. They can afford to do so the top 1%.

Hello everyone talking about Indian we are dealing with enormous population and in that case the very first objective is meet the demand of nation, for us quantity is first objective and quality is afterward, this is as much necessary also since as statistics can be seen that around 5% of population is rich enough who can fulfill their all demand and also consciousness exist for them, and rest of the population has to deal with their need.

Yes, Indians are less quality conscious. As I am agri graduate I know what the quality food is, rich people wish to take quality food but those people only taking poor quality food because they can't eat fresh vegetables, fruits and most commonly they are going to eat stored grains with chemicals. Poor people, they wish to earn lot that's why farmers apply more and more chemicals and pesticides to increase yield and to sell the produce, he will also not eat quality food. Only a few people who are fallowing organic farming they are eating quality food.

I think that Indians are conscious about quality. Whether the person belongs to high class, middle class, or low-class family everyone wants good quality. But yes, budget plays a big role in purchase of good quality item. A rich person can buy branded item easily but middle n low caste have to think about budget. It is also about modernisation that nowadays everyone is raising their status by choosing selected items.

But when we see that Indians used to by Chinese things it is all about its low price n attractiveness. They know they are going to use them once so they wish to buy low price items. When they know that they are going to use product for long they buy quality item.

May there are some people that do not think about quality but they are less in no. . Youngsters choose is also changing that they use selected, high price product. But they use them so many times that there is no regret of spending money on that item.

So, quality is differing due to budget, however, whether its high or low-class family everyone wants a "QUALITY PRODUCT'".

We don't lack quality consciousness, we just plan our budget in such a way that we end up buying the low-cost goods to survive the month. And it's not that we are not quality conscious, we are highly quality conscious in regards to our health, food, and education which is why we even if we lack the money take loans and get them at the best quality possible.

Compared to how it was in the past, we have improved a lot in terms of quality. In a country with most of its people from a middle-class background, purchasing high-quality costly goods is quite difficult. But we are always happy with what we have.

Hello everyone,

I completely disagree with the topic.

In my opinion, Indians are not at all less quality conscious, it's just that they want the best quality in a little less or minimal cost.

Actually, the thinking of Indians are that how we can get a good thing by paying a little less and maybe sometimes it can be of the cost of the price or the money they are offering, but that does not at all means that they want to have an inferior quality for the thing.

Like the new MD of Toyota India is facing huge problems in making a name of his company in India as ACC. To him, here the people want to buy a thing which is of less cost but not at the cost of quality, therefore Toyota is facing a huge competition in the Indian market.

If they think that its importance and quality is far more valuable than its cost, maybe it's more, they don't think even twice and buy the product. And according to me its a very smart approach.

I don't agree with you people because Indians are quality conscious but the money they spend is less but they don't get compromised with quality, that is why we have many quality products in our country. Let's take Flipkart as an example because they are undergoing so many tests before the delivery is done. Almost all the online market is running in the market of India are with quality.

Indians are money minded people because of the low income but they need a good quality of product with more quantity.

Every human wants quality either rich or poor, but recently we have seen many quality comprised scandals by the companies whose products are mostly consumed by many people like Maggi, bread which are mostly taken as meal for breakfast consists of harmful chemical in excess amount i.e. bromide, this all happening because are fssai are not strict to them or we can say if people make the product test by chance and found something and raises their voice in media then agencies come to take under action, Indian pupil wants quality but at cheap rate.
