If the King should be brilliant, then, of course, Consumer is not a King. It's all about how the Market and Producer who decides the consumer's requirement and necessity. Consumers are just pulling by them and got stucked with their net. Markets giving indirect pressure to the customers by providing attractive offers when they actually don't need it but making their mind to adopt with the products they tend to produce. We all know the packed items like Maggie, Horlicks, cerelacks, biscuits are actually not good for health but its again convincing part is cleverly made by the Market which is making their business success. Now, who is the King? preferring the products which cause the effects and spending money for that? Not Obviously.

Hello, guys.

Consumers are really king because all the product are made for the consumer if the consumer can not buy a product then the problem is that business cannot run in success way. I think consumer feed is most important things in business because It helps for quality improvements.

Hi this is Jitu.

My dear friends I agree with your points but I want to add one more points.

Nowadays consumer playing a most important role because you know that all the industries they have more competition so every industry have to fulfil the consumer needs. Because nowadays consumer becomes God for all industries.

Thank you.

Yes of course, consumers are the king in India, large companies competing each other in the market, expanding their business, introducing newer technologies, producing better quality products, for whom? For consumers only. Successful businesses works according to the needs and the demands of consumers. Business now a days works on the motto to make consumers satisfied before thinking about making profits. Only when they think about consumers then only they can think about profit. So in my view, consumers are the real king. Thank you.

Hi friends,

The Consumers are really the king in India because when the company launches a new product or service they first find out the customer needs and demands and according to that needs or demand they try to manufacture the product. Because ultimately the product or service will be manufactured for the customer who will buy it and make money for the company.

Example: When Jio came with its free data scheme Ambani has thought about the consumer because there is a demand always for data at lower cost and he makes a huge profit for this. Where Airtel, Vodafone or other telecom company were unable to make such profits.

In 90's we were using keypad phone, but later when mobile manufacturing companies determine that there is needs or demands in smartphones they start launching back to back.

All the efforts they are putting for consumers only. And consumers are the main source of generating revenue for any company.

Hi Guys,

Actually, whenever any company thinks or manufactures anything so they do as per the consumer demands because consumer demands decide the scale of manufacturing in the factory. I mean companies always keep focus on consumers needs, wants, and demands so that they can fulfil that era. So having this kind of perception in all companies consumers are able to have multiples options in their hands not only in price but also in quantity and quality at a place. For an example suppose there is a consumer who wants to buy something from the market so that person is free to buy that particular thing from anywhere in the market. There is no exploitation of consumers in the market for any products.

But there is one condition in which Consumers don't sustain as a king and that is less supply and higher demand in this stage all consumers have to abdicate before the things. So over all, I'd say that consumer is a king but not at all stages.

If a consumer really wants to sustain as a king at all places so consumers should act in proper manners so that they don't face any such stage.

Thanks.

Majority of the Consumers are dumb. They feel they are entitled to great service irrespective of the cost. People try to live a higher cost living though they earn lower income.

With greater cost, the service becomes more consumer centric.

But people misunderstand the term King, where they abuse the products and the ones who serve.

So unless they give mutual respect, consumers don't deserve to be treated as king.

It's perceived differently by everyone.

But I think that the consumer is entitled to the title "king" as he is the sole purpose of the market.

Not just in India but across the world cuz of one simple gameplay.

Customer + satisfaction = profit.

Producers who make use of this end up earning a lot of money and have to liability to be customers themselves.

According to my opinion.

The consumer is considered as king as he\she creates the demand for products and buying the factor of the market, he\she is the factor in which the market functions and without the participation of the customers the market has no purpose and does not have anyone to sell.

No, The consumer is not really the king. According to my opinion, Market is decided by the quality and price of products and the services which are given by the producers.

For examples,

1. In starting, Patanjali products were not famous in India but when the benefits of these products came in front of people, they attracted towards them.

2. My second example is Jio. Due to the attractive service of Jio, Billions of people started to use Jio.

3. Third example is Maggi, India was the biggest consumer of maggi but people have stopped consuming due to the presence of lead in it.
