Are Indians Less Quality Conscious?

Hello readers enthusiasm!

I read all most all the answers and I understand very well all friends wrote very well. As per my point of view, India people are very stable in choosing a quality product. There are 50% of the people are believed in quality product even middle class and Lower middle-class people also believe in use quality product because in India population more than 60% people are youngsters and in 60% youngsters more 50% people are educated very well so half of our peoples are educated very well now let's talk about quality product if want to buy one jeans or one watch the basic customer requirements is product should be good and long lasting but I haven't enough money to buy these quality products so what should I do I will wait some days for buy quality product because it's better than buy less quality product.

The very educated people thing like that so as my point of view, we Indian believes in quality.

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.

Hello,

I completely disagree with the thought that Indians are less quality conscious. Yes, I agree that every Indians buy the product according to their economic condition but that doesn't mean that we are less quality conscious and I also want to say that we should not bifurcate urban and rural people of India as because everyone wants a quality which he can use a certain period of time.

Those people who agree with the thought that Indians are less quality conscious the best example is "Nano" car everyone knows in India that this car is less expensive and also it can afford by number of middle class and lower class people but the product was failed and such an innovative idea didn't get profit after manufacturing in India. Many rural people don't want to buy the car when that car come in their budget.

So that would be the best example for us that Indian people are not less quality conscious.

Thank you.

First of all, we should understand the definition of quality it's define by Juran one of the quality gurus fitness for the purpose at best economical level.

Through only cost, we can't measure the quality of the product.

Performance, Appearance, Service, Feature, Durability, Reputation, Reliability, Response etc. Are the measures or meanings of quality.

Hence we can definitely say that Indian people are check all the above point during buying a product.

For example, when we buy a mobile we ask to our friends, compare features, feedback about performance, brand, cost, service all parameters check and then we take a decision.

In my point of Indian people are quality conscious.

Because of globalization international companies are established there plants hence increase the competition due to this Indian people have a variety of product and from that, they select the best.

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.

Hello, everyone.

I also believe in the fact that it all depends on the economic status of the consumer. Richer sections look for quality, poorer sections look for quantity while middle class looks to strike a balance somewhere between quality and quantity.

But one point I would like to mention is that sometimes the quality of a product can be increased without adding much to the price tag. This is where we are lacking.

For eg. Consider the case of street vendors in India.

Bhelpuri, panipuri, chaoley bhuttere wallahs and others can definitely improve the quality of maintaining cleanliness and hygienic conditions around them by wearing gloves, aprons and cleaning utensils with clean water without adding much to their budget but they prefer not to.

Because somewhere they still believe that lower or middle-class people are still not quality conscious.

Thanks.

Hello, friends, I think there is a huge gap between Indians who are quality conscious and Indians who care only about using things that are cheap or less expensive (these products lack in quality). That is why on one side we see people who are enjoying the benefits of quality products while on the other side we see people who keep on using mediocre products. The biggest reason for this is the cost factor. Most of the quality products are priced high, while mediocre products are comparatively cheap. India still is a country of savers of money. Here people are willing to compromise on quality if it saves them money. A simple example is people drinking tea/coffee in a steel glass instead of using a cup just because steel glass is cheap and coffee mugs are expensive. It is still a long way when we can say 'Yes! We Indians are 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.

Hello friends,

"Indians are less quality conscious", in my view it depends on person to person. Some people wants high quality and some are satisfied in his\her life. Youngsters want branded materials, like shoes of Puma, watch of Titan and mobile of apple and the need is day by day increasing. Presently he or she want apple iPhone 7s and in future, he or she wants 8s (-:,

So it all depends on person need and definitely on his or her income and it is applied not only to Indians but all over worldwide. If the person have money and he or she wants quality then easily he or she purchases branded material. Quality that means not only big brands, my previous friend said that my mother also checks quality of vegetables and then buy it, :-). So Indians are never quality conscious.

Thank you.
