Is the Consumer really the King in India?

Hello, friends.

In my point of view, I think consumers are really the true king of India. For any company, organisation or enterprise the first and most important issue is consumers satisfaction. Without satisfying their consumers they can't even think of their existence. Because without demand, their is no supply. Consumers have an upper hand in the selection of the products they gonna use. If they are not satisfied with one they can move towards other in this competitive market. So it's the manufacturer who has to take care of their consumers and their needs.

In my view, consumers aren't the real king. We are only price takers, not price makers. Most of them think we can able to determine price but it is ultimately in the hands of producers and manufacturers, government may fix prices on daily use commodities as MRP as tax is inclusive in it but in malls the government couldn't even manage to control the price of a water bottle but irony is that farmer are the most productive labour as well as considered as national asset of our country could not able to fix the price for their produce.

In earlier times, limited products were there in the market. Even in car segment segment, only fiat and ambassador were available. Now due to globalisation in India, the products brands have increased very much and quality of products have also increased. Now the market is driven by consumers. Consumers have option to select product as per their requirement. The companies are looking to fulfill the demand of consumers. Therefore, we can say the consumer is king.

I think if the consumer is not their un-market then the seller or the businessman or any type of seller will not survive. I am a son of the businessman so I consider if the consumer is not there in the market then we can't survive. So I think the consumer is king in India because India is a country where half of the people are doing their business or they sell something so if consumer is not in India then India economic or any type of growth will not be possible.

Hello, friends. According to me, the consumer is not the real king. They only have very little income in which they can't even afford to send their children to English medium. The suppliers are the main benefiter. And the brand of the product is the most profitable section. The consumers are only the medium.

I respect all of your comments but I think the customers are not really the king in India because some product that having monopoly we having compulsion to buy that product at whatever cost it is. For example, if anyone wants to buy iPhone then he has no choice to bargain or anything.

According to me, consumers are king. Because every activity of producer depends on the choice of consumer and demand of the consumer. So for maintaining themselves in competition with another producer they mostly try to give good and ideal price products because adulteration may give them profit fast Bt it will reduce their goodwill in the market. So their whole business depends on upon the consumer.

As per me for many brands or companies the consumer is not a king he is treated as a user only who used a product if he feels benefits he will re-purchase it or if not he will switch to another one the whole sole is if we remove the consumer protection act then the hidden face of brand will come in front and the myth of consumer-oriented market or consumer is a king has vanished.

According to me, the consumers are sufficiently able to take the decision about the product that the product is long lasting or not. They can judge the product very well. In many productions the demo is given to the consumer for his/ her confirmation, so the consumers are really the king.

I am 100% sure the consumer is a king. Because the trend of business has been changed. Before the trend said, "sell the comb to the bald".

Now the business's trend says " Do not sell the comb to the bald". Simply companies are trying to tie up with the consumers by providing the best services. This is an age of competition.
