Are Indians Less Quality Conscious?

Hi, Friends,

I don't agree with this topic why because of everybody wants quality nobody wants less quality but it depends on their financial background. If they have enough financial support then they will go for the good quality otherwise, they go for the less quality. But in India, more poor people are there so that they go for less quality.

Thank you.

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.

According to my point of view, I don't think so Indians are less quality conscious, we live in a country where all types of people are there high-class family, middle-class family and poor people. Poor people are also not quality conscious all they spent less on quality because of having less money in their pocket. They also want to increase their standard of living, they also want to spend more money on a quality product but due to poverty they are not able to do that.

Hello, in view quality is a relative term with the budget of any individual or a group.

So what is best for the middle & lower class people may be just good for the upper class, and if you say that because most of the Indian population is poor they are less quality conscious than mot of the world population is poor or lower middle class so that would mean most population is less quality conscious.

It's accepted fact that much of the poor people are lured by the quantity rather than quality its because they are forced by their poverty, lack of facilities, the struggle for survival, unawareness etc.

Hence it would be least analytical to say that Indians are less quality conscious.

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.

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.

Indians are not less quality conscious but due to lack of availability and affordability many Indians use inferior goods according to their income as they don't have much in their pocket to spend so they are indirectly purchasing inferior goods instead of knowing that it is inferior good. 99% of Indians are quality conscious can't say 100 because I didn't have a survey. But at last, my point is that Indians are quality conscious.

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.

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%.

In my opinion, Indians are both high quality and less quality conscious because not everyone can afford a good quality as India not only consists of rich and middle class but also poor. For example, if A uses olive oil, high-quality sunflower oil, high-quality basmati rice. B can afford sunflower oil and not that much good quality basmati and C cannot afford basmati rice and sunflower oil they use low-quality cooking oil and low-quality rice.
