Based on facts and general opinions, consumer is partially the king, moreover I would say that if 13% country is rich only then they have enough money to go for substitutes and choose and mostly they fall into urban areas and rural peoples when do not have enough for their survival how come they can choose between products and moreover in rural the said consumer forums are not available. And we say 68% is on agriculture.

Analysis : King the term means he can't be fooled if then the punishment is ready to be given. Do you find this in Indian scenario where you keep fighting with seller and end up with disappointment.

Thank you.

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.

No, a days customer has been playing a Vitol role in the market. He can make or break the market. Whenever a marketer proposes to launch a particular product, he needs to analyze his customer first and then derive the potential of the proposed product. Because knowing the needs of prospective consumers are very important in order to customize the product accordingly. Meeting the needs of the customer or exceeding their expectation is something that enjoys customer retention nowadays. So ultimately it can be said that it is the customer who can be called the king of the Indian Market or of other countries.

Hello everyone, my name is Anuj Kumar, according to me consumer is not the ultimate king of the market because they are just influenced by the producer by advertisement such as in the case of refreshment drinks they are just influenced using it not beneficially and they even don't have better option the ultimate kind is the producer. But a consumer can be the ultimate kind of the market by their consciousness.

According to my point of view, Consumers are kings in India in some cases and are not kings in other.

In case of mobile market due to craze in the devices there is very reasonable prize to buy a device. But in case of clothing the prize is high where consumer is not the king.

I partially agree with this, in Indian market as some extent consumers are real king in the market. For example FMGC product launched or produced as per new market research, innovation, consumer satisfaction, consumers needs and preference that means any products before producing that much think and research in market about consumers choice and preferences. Whereas at same time somewhere bring a monopoly and traders take a chance of hiring double or more charge of seasonal or festival product from needed customers.

Yes, I do agree that customer is the real king of any product in India. Days became busier for each and every person in the world. So the company always try to make a product which are user friendly without focusing on maintaining quality to make market. Those company which are really making hefty turn over are also not making quality foods like NESTLE. Any company won't make a product which is NOT customer friendly but they are trying to make the product ready to use without maintaining quality and we people don't have time to judge, whether it is good or bad. In my opinion Government has responsibility as well as the company to check the quality at least for the sake of common people of any country. WE consumer are the real king and so we have the legacy to make product turn out of market which is making health hazard which we paople are not doing. But nevertheless consumer is making product survive on market but we are using the product just like anything.

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, There is a great relation between market and consumer. Though cousumer is not a real king of India but market is completely depend on cusumer. Just think for a minut. Is market is possible without consumer? I think not at all. A businessman begins his business on behalf of cusumer demand. What they want? What they need? What they like? A businessman faces losses tf there is no any consumer to purchase his product. And we all know how much competition is in market? Just because of consumers. When a consumers get info from anywhere the thing they want can get in less prize they go there. Sometimes in competition shopkeepers or businessmen cut their market prize and in all these consumers get profit completely. So I think consumer is real king of India.

A customer is not king. He/She is on highest priority but not king. Because then there are many kings and when they fight each other, the company gets destroyed. So treat each customer with equal priority. Don't make one customer king.
