I am sure that we are not quality concious at many places like the film sector where quality pictures are given to the audience which plays a very vital role to bring up future India. There are also no quality parameter to check the politicians work. We never demand for our rights. We pay the money some times that are no were related to quality for example we go to many public places like busstation, buses theaters were they do not maintain the proper sanitation services but we use the toilets by paying the money there. So quality is really a constraint here.

According to me that Indian is not less quality cocious, Indian is a very good and flowing thoughts they are doing the work very carefully. As we know that present time Indian is placed in the worlds higher positions in the organisations so we not say that Indian is the less quality.

Although, what all have said is true and I totally agree with them. However, there is another side to this issue. The set of principles that the west follows is different than our country. In the western countries like US or UK or Canada, people live there life lavishly. Even when they don't earn proportionally, still their expenses are high. They rely more on credit. They will by a big house, a latest model car, would go on an expensive holiday package, buy expensive stuff, and all these on credit. Their entire lives they spend their income on fulfilling there loans and EMIs. Though it looks great from the outside but there financial condition is always on the edge and when I say about these, I am talking about the major chunk of people out there. However, in India, we are taught from our early childhood about the learning of saving. We are strictly taught that if we don't have money to buy, we should not buy it on credit. I think that it is different that people might be poor and they can't afford it. But, it is also a proud fact that we Indians don't go out of our way to fulfill our desires at any cost. That is just not our mentality. There are many people who can afford branded and expensive clothes, but they don't because they know the rewards of savings. A common man in India may not have money to buy expensive clothes, may be living in a small house, may not be driving even a motorcycle, but you will always find that he has money to spend on the marriages of his children, he has money to cremate his parents when they die. And, we all how the economy in US, UK and European Countries is doing. This is all because of

the fact that they are burdened with loans, they don't have money to save, it all goes to their EMI payments. Even, the government there has taken loans more than they can pay. China is a lender to these countries for the major part of it. So, at the end I would like to conclude that western countries are quality conscious even when they cannot afford it and We Indians, have the money sense. Its not about using quality products. It is all about knowing our limits.

Hello friends,I feel that Indians are more quality consious in things like branded clothes and some westernised lifestyle but lack quality conciousness in terms of education system,hard work,population control,pollution control,correption control,enviromental protection etc that are more important.I feel pity about this thing and one solution to all this is by bringing in the moral based education rather than exam centered education and thus help our next generation to maintain quality conciousness in things that are more important to man kind rather than only looks and brands.

It could never be said that Indians, Chinese, American or any person is less quality conscious. Its money which hinder them to buy a quality product. People earning more will have high standards and their products will obviously be having more quality than people earning reasonably ok. So its not people who decide quality buying pattern but its money or say their quality of life.

In my view, indian people are quality concious but price factor of branded product hinder them to consider quality as first priority. People, who have income around 5000 can't go with the branded which has market price very high. So, their choice would be the product which satisfy their reqts with optimum price and having good quality.

Indian people are not less quality conscious its just that they don't have enough money to buy quality goods, they should satisfy themselves with low quality goods, some people don't know the importance of quality especially in rural area because they more focused on price. Even if a common man wants to buys quality goods he has to think two times before spending money and when he look around their are many cheaper options available which initially fulfill the desire the of person. For example if a person wants to buy a smartphone of apple and suppose he don't know the price he just want to buy it because he saw it in his friend's hands so when he learns about the its features and price he looks for cheaper options available in micromax android phone so he will go for that. So even if the hunger of quality an Indian go for a low quality product.

In India according to me they are quality conscious of course if quality is high price of that product would also be high. So most of the indians would go for cheap prices. But unknowingly they will spend as much as they could ve spent for the quality product. For example if we buy a cheap product it may give trouble and hence accounts for renovation cost of that product. So if we buy quality product it won't give trouble that often that a cheap product would give. So unknowingly people are spending lots money on cheap products rather they can buy quality product with the same money. Infact they might spend more on cheaper product than quality product. People should understand this that they can save more money if they buy quality products.

In my opinion Indian people conscious about quality but are more conscious about prices of product also both goes hand to hand. For instance Maruti, people are aware about the company product and more loyal towards that because Maruti meets quality and price factor both. So to consider this instance as prove we can decide people are aware about quality but pricing factor hinder them to go to branded world. And 2nd foctor is nature, After achieving 54000 per capita income we are not going towards the branded product because we have saving nature that which hinder us to buy branded product. So we can say we are conscious but saving nature and pricing factor hinder us.

Most of people in India are quality conscious, only illiterate don't know about importance of quality and buying cheap quality goods & products. People who are educated can educate them and make them quality conscious, but the actual situation is educated people also not able to buy quality goods because of price, many people buying products in affordable price.

This topic talks about quality consciousness amongst the Indians. I read a lot of posts that most of us have shared and people have come up with very good points. I have some different set of points pertaining to this topic. - When we see Indians as a resource working in an organization, I feel most of them are satisfied with our jobs.There is no real inquisitiveness to explore and learn, they are more concerned with the salaries they draw than the knowledge.Thus quality thus doesn't come out, they are to blame themselves. - Our education system presses more on rote learning, theories and scoring marks and less on the practical aspects.Our colleges and universities stress more on the packages/salaries than the the quality of individual (example most of the management institutes).Thus quality doesn't come out, courtesy our education system. - The private sector and MNCs spend very less amount of resources on research and development thus lowering the opportunities to spend some quality time in exploring technologies.Employees are made to work only within limits and any such desires to learn and

grow are often denied. Doesn't this affect the quality of an individual.

So I feel we cannot blame any one person/organization but it is the system as a whole that seriously needs to be looked into.

HELLO friends. As you all have already discussed the main points of concern, I am just giving a single point of mine that is what in the present world can be defined as quality. If we are taking an example or if we are comparing Mr Obama with our pm sardar manmohan singh. What will we get. Some western affected person will say that Mr obama is more quality concious because he wears suit instead of our Indian prime minister singh. Some people think that wearing western clothes or eating sandwiches and pizzas are the sign of high quality living. But it is not true. So in my opinion conciousness doesnt need money or higher post. Some of us were telling about the illetrate poor indians but the poor people all over the world can not afford armani or gucci.

According to me quality conciousness speaks differently to different people, like a labourer is spending money on the education of his child and that is what quality means to him rather than buying a high ending technical gadget. I think the people who has the money and even knowledge, should have to be bring into the limelight of buying a good quality product or not.

Hello dear friends. I appriciate your view points on this topic, I think there are two reasons behind the quality consciouness of Our Indian Peoples First is ILLITRACY, And Second which is big one is Financial Condition of Our peoples. Comming to the first point Rural peoples are illitrate who are unconcious about the new trends in the market, so they spend their entire life in there old lifestyle. Second factor is the Financial Condition of the Indian Peoples which hinders them to Purchase High Quality Goods. Maybe 80% of the peoples are quality conscious but their Financial Condition doesn't allow them to Cross the limits. Every one desires to have Branded Quality Goods, Doesn't You ? but the 'MONEY' in our Pocket Deside the quality Not 'WE'. So in the End I want to say that Indian peoples are 'Quality Conscious' but Their financial status makes them 'PRICE CONSCIOUS'. Thank you.

I am agree with the fact that indians are less quality conscious rather than they want quantity but as said by the other people the major problem is the financial status of the public and the second thing that there eduacational background is also resposible for there lack or awareness about quality. Because I have seen in some rural areas where the people are good enough reach

but still they don't care much about quality so this makes the point very clear that the poorness is not the only reason for lack of awareness but the poor educational background is also one of the strong reason for it.

Yes, the quality consciousness depends on economical condition but which type of goods or service we avail also matters in case of Indians, Example we know that in case of food most of the Indians prefer tasty food rather than quality food. Road side food vendors are most populous than 5 star hotels. And in case of services like education etc rich Indians are obviously quality conscious, this may not be the case in other countries.

Speaking frankly there's a great divide in India itself. Showing two India one rich one poor, at one hand you find ultra rich Indians piling up at Forbes richest people list, on the other hand children in India are dying of malnutrition. Rich go for quality as they have got enough to spend. But the middle class and poor have to stay within their budget, in fact for poor there's no quality they just want to buy the most their penny offer's. So the question "Are Indians Quality conscious?" would totally depend upon their lifestyle and purchasing power!
Rate this: +23 -1 Anvesh said: (Thu, Jan 5, 2012 12:56:17 PM)

I think the main problem is not that Indians are not quality conscious, the main problem is their financial condition. When you go to buy any product you have two choices with a constraint of a given sum of money. Either you can buy a large quantity of that product of not so superior quality or you can buy a less quantity of superior quality product. Now as we all know the financial condition of India it is pretty predictable that many people are below poverty line so they are the ones who have to satisfy themselves with not so superior quality products as quality comes with a price. But as the time is passing buy, people are getting aware of good quality, and the ones who can afford it are going for that.

Look, its not that people in India are less quality conscious in fact it is the economic condition of the people that forces them to be less conscious about quality because here a majority of the population consists of middle, lower middle and poor class who have to fight to fulfil their even their major requirements they cannot dare to choose quality when they have to compromise even for the smallest of quantity, although scenario is changing these days but it will still take time and that time would be how many years nobody can predict, its always the economic condition that governs the choice of quality as well as quality.

Hello friends. According to my opinion in our country from various class people belong are, middle, lower middle class and the last but not least poor class. Poor class people are those people who are not able to collect 1 time meal for themselves or for their family so purchase quality product is dream for them. Let's take example of maids which work in our home. Whatever we are give them either food or old clothes they take it happily without checking food is hygienic or unhygienic or clothes quality because they cannot afford it. And ma last point is poor people aim only to take two meal for themselves and for their family. Its a real situation in our world.

People are less consious about products quality and concentrate more on the quantity and free products because of their economic status.Though the people are becoming aware of the products quality they are not able to buy that. When a product is first left in the market,initially the people will concentrate on quality.Later on,the people will concentrate on company's name only rather on their quality.

For those people quality of product depend on MONEY. They are unable to buy a high quality product which has high value. Sometime it may be from illittericy. But those people are litterate and lives in town they know quality of a product and they are able to buy a quality or branded product. For this resion I am saying that indians are combination of quality concious & unconcious.

I don't think that Indians are less quality conscious but they are the people who always try to purchase the best out of their earning capacity. If one buys NOKIA C6 mobile and other person buys the CHINESE mobile from the same shop so by this we can not say that that other person is less quality conscious but he is a man who also want to enjoy the songs and videos or camera in his mobile as in NOKIA mobile but why he was not able to buy the good quality NOKIA mobile. It was because it was not in the budget of that particular person. As you know that today also in India, a huge number of people are below poverty line. They also want to buy branded clothes, watch and some other basic things and ofcourse they buy all these but mainly from a flea market where there is no good brand. It is not because they are less quality conscious but because they have to think about there stomach, about their children's hunger before purchasing all these good items and if now also you want to say that they are less quality conscious then yes they are.

Good morning friends, Thanks for all your valuable comments. I was going through this topics and thought I could also

contribute a bit. The term 'Indians are less quality conscious is somewhat unfair for Indian rural population which ofcourse is the majority of our population. How can you expect quality consciousness from those people who are hardly getting there 2 time meal. THINK ABOUT IT! Apart from this illiteracy is also a factor when people can not understand the quality of the product. Take the example of china's products, they are very illfamous in world market. Why these items are not being sold in you. S. , you. K. And some other developed country? The answer is as clear as a crystal i.e. because those people have the knowledge about the product but not our rural people have this art. I will like to end up my point by saying that its not our people who are less quality conscious but there are other factors which are making them PRICE CONSCIOUS NOT QUALITY CONSCIOUS. Because as a lot friend said who does not want to live a luxurious life. Won't you?

In most of the villages/towns old man( villagers) wearing good quality of the Dhoti-kurta but today the young generation is more intelligent and smart than elders they want good quality only they know if they will buy low level product it will take few months only than it is better go for better quality products , so according to me it may be wrong that We/Indian have less quality conscious.

In India about 30% of the population lies below the poverty line. About only 5% of the population belong to the high class which can afford to pay the price demanded for good quality goods. Most of the middle income and low income groups make do with substandard goods. But now with the increase of globalization Indian society have become more quality conscious. They are demanding quality goods and have realized it is more beneficial to buy good quality goods which are durable and last longer. The Indian people are demanding luxury goods such as Harley Davidson,Mercedes. As the MNCs continue to enter India the Indian people are becoming more and more quality conscious. We should draw aline between quality conscious and brand conscious as the latter is not desirable especially for a developing country like India. As the Indian consumers are becoming more quality conscious the domestic companies too are forced to modify their goods to make them of better quality.

We can't say tht all the indians are conscious about the quality. Let us take an example, if a

south Indian and a north Indian went for a shopping mall, a south Indian will buy a product by seeing the cost of the product rather than the quality. Where as a north Indian will never bother about the price of the product and he won't see the the price, until he was in the cash counter. This happens nly bcaus the people who were living in the north they were very rich compared to south and were habituated to the western culture and were always want to be looking good. And the south indians are more conscious about the quantity rather than quality. And the people living in south they want their children to grow up and send their children for higher studies to other nations. And they feel the money as their sweat and blood, and hence while spending the money they don't want to spend money on unnecessary things.

According to my point of view Indian people are surely quality concious. Have you seen any parent's asking their children to take unhygenic and unhealthy food to take only due to cheapness? But indians make their use of knowledge and buy the goods according to their requirements in their limited budget. As India is a developing country, it is not so rich, therefore they have to think about their budget and requirements that they can afford. In the world who doesn't want to eat good and delecious item, wear fashionable dresses, live in an ac room, but it's our status or budget which allow somebody to get all these things and restrict other to maintain in another way.

Hello friends. In my point of view I can say that the term "QUALITY CONSCIOUS" mainly depend upon the wealth of each and every persons in this world, we cannot estimate the purchasing power of a India alone. It also depends upon the need of the product. So in any country the wealth of every person varies. Inequality is spreaded every where, the people below poverty line today will also become a wealthy person one day and they can also afford for the branded products. But most of the rich people buy branded items to show there status not because of need all the time.

Yes, I agree that indians are less quality concious but it is all because they don't have that much money to spend for quality products. Gradually with urbanisation standard of living is changing and people are becoming quality consious.

Quality is a part of life. In fact, quality determines of the fineness of any product and determines the efficiency, its market viability and sales. Quality consciousness is a parameter of measuring the consumer behaviour and the production and policies related to innovate, design, create and sell a product. Indian quality consciousness can be known from the research for their brand awareness. This poses questions, whether Indians are quantity conscious or quality conscious.

Hi frnd. In any gd there are three main step to represent any topic. What is it, region behind it, what is the solution of this problem. Lets start from this topic. Being a quality concious can't be a property of any country its depend on person and varies person to person. Every body want a good thing I also want to wear addidas shoes, rebock's t shirt but I can't because I cant't afford it. Same with every person. In India if we talk about a well educated person and have enough money to buy any thing than he definitely buy a quality thing. But if a person who have enough money but have not knowledge about a thing which he have to buy definitely he will comes in attraction in advertisement and can't buy quality thing. And the person who have not enough money can't buy good things for example chines phon cell max you can see on poor people because they can't afford apple's i-port.

Hello friends, Quality conciousness depends on the economy, needs of any person, and the way he thinks. A person with good salary may prefer good product quality and also he can choose the moderate product quality according to the need of the product as he may think "this is not so much important to me, i'll buy another one if this one destroyes". Now a poor man generally choose the cheaper thing from conventional market, but in some cases he chooses the good quality as he can not spent his money by buying a thing agin and again. Example computer, cell phone etc. So its all about the needs.

As the topic is indians are less quality conscious,

As the matter of 'QUALITY', it can't be evaluated on the scale of country, this is something which depends on person wealth & budget. It is unfair to say that Indian are less quality conscious bcs. 1. Who doesn't want to have a branded cloth& food. 2. Who doesn't want to have a good school for their child. 3.

Hello friends. In my opinion Indians are quality conscious whether he is rich or poor. Its different that poor man firstly see the prize or look into the budget but in his limited budget also he wants the best. A rich man usually buys branded things so obviously they are of high quality. So overall all Indians wants quality in things. So according to me Indians are quality conscious.

Hello friends. My opinion is that every individual prefers quality whether he is rich or poor, by keeping their budget in mind. In their limited budget only they wants better things. So firstly they give preference to budget & according to that they search quality. A rich man usually buy branded things so obviously their quality is high as compared to poor. But a poor man also search quality according to their level. So their is quality conscious among Indians.

I completely agree to the point that Indians are less quality conscious, but I would like to add that, we cannot completely blame on our politicians for being the main cause to it. They play a role in it, but it can't be the only reason. It is always seen that in India one can easily make money, without providing a quality product, its because people here are satisfied with what they get, it has become a habit to compromise, be it food quality, living standards, or quality of any

service or product provided to them. Neither the service provider is committed to the quality he want to provide nor even the customer care to stand for his/her rights. Secondly we can't even blame poverty being the reason to it, because there are countries which were nearly or equally poor as India is but still they have manage to maintain a certain quality regarding their services n living standards. I Wont say that poor would demand for a quality product, but a person who can afford a certain level of quality product would also satisfy himself with the low quality product because every one else around him is hardly bothered. I think this Compromising and why should I interfere in other's work, attitude is the cause for India being a less quality conscious country.

In my opinion friends it is totally wrong to say that Indians are less quality conscious. A man always try to buy something according to his earning capacity. If the rich man is buying branded clothes from any mall and the poor man buying clothes from any flea market so on the basis of this we can not say that the poor man is less quality conscious because they are buying according to their condition. But if any rich person or highly educated person is buying clothes from any flea market despite he konw the bad quality of clothes, to him we can say a less quality conscious person.

Good morning friends, Quality consciousness is ability of a person to correlate with the amount of money he spent for the product justifies with its quality. I think we Indian people are less price conscious because of less educated, less average income, high priority is to satisfy basic need. Indian literacy rate is 74% means, remaining million of people are not aware of quality aspect they are paying for a product. Around 36% population living under an average earning of 50 rs as per government of India figure which is far less as per the arjun sengupta state that 70% people living below poverty line earning less than 30 rs a day, whereas saxena committee states that around 50% of population living under UN poverty definition of earning less than 1. 25$ per day. This is one of the reason our largest trade partner becomes the china which is mainly recognized for providing cheap product replacing USA. People who are not able to feed his family how we expect him of being quality consciousness. At last due to economy advancement people get high income but the number of people get benefited is very small when compare with the huge population only 15 crore population falls under middle class whereas 12 lakhs people are fall under high income class.

We are quality conscious only because for an Indian, quality means value for money. It is true for any type of man either rich, middle or poor. for eg: we give Rs.10 for a plate Idly in a normal hotel but it will be Rs. 15 in a Sukh Sagar or Agidas...But where is that difference? Its the facilities we have inside their shop. When we buy a bike we do see what is the mileage? These are practical things that happen in our daily life. Why is this? This is because we Indians do not spend lavishly on unwanted items if doesnt worth that!!!This is because Our roots of society is like that! If I give some money it should have benefit for it!!! So to what extent quality conscious we are is not a question at all...For an Japanese quality means Reliability, for an American quality means how luxurious his/her product is...Like wise every country has their own style or definition for quality. This is something which even product mfg comp. knows and that is why we do not see all the products that is sold (even if we claim its supreme quality) in one country is sold here...In fact developing countries like India, Russia do want their money to be wasted because we are pre-dominantly made of salary earning society.

Well friends, I do agree with the topic that the Indians are less quality conscious and this is because of Indian market. A big part of the Indian market consists of basically middle class and lower middle class. So the people belong to this category will spend according to their pocket. If they will go for branded or quality products their expenditure will be more than the income. And another thing is that huge population of our country. It also affects the consumption of quality products. We can take the example of a family with 4 children and a family with 2 children. Though the income of both parents are same but the distribution per child will vary because of their numbers in both the family. Now a days India is manufacturing some quality products. But still the products which are imported have more qualitative value. As they are imported the costs will be definitely more which is only affordable by a certain class in our society. Hence I feel Indians are less quality conscious.

Khadi an Indian cloth material which still has the value in the market because its still possess its quality. There are many Branded showrooms WHICH are opening up in the country due to globalization, we have to observe here that MNC's are money minded.

So when the first aspect comes into role i.e. Quality of product then it is regardless of whether it is India or outside, People here have a knack of "Brand" which they associate with Quality, If we talk of the stuff used in so called Branded Jeans, it is from Arvind Mills. So we have the Quality but we are not conscious or aware about the same. Coming to the Services then we have the "ATITHEE DEVO BHAVA" attitude, but we lack the spirit in some or the other way hence a passive performance.

India is a developing country where most of the population is BPL. Indian economy although booming but there are sectors in the economy that can't be left out while making a judgement. Yes, most of the Indian purchasing force is derived by cost of the product and quantity rather than quality because of the purchasing power of India whole as a country and not just a segment/sector of society.

In my views, in India there is existence of every kind of personality obviously there thinking, mentality, principles are also different. But we cant say that every Indian is less quality conscious. But if we compare urban and rural resident people, then we will find that rural people firstly check the prices of items before purchasing something. If that item's prices are so high in

that case they can satisfy their demands in less price able things. In the case of high prices they will satisfy their demands in a less price able thing even with less features. Mostly girls always prefer color and shining wearable things n tops. As we know that every coin has two aspects, there so many Indians who are very quality conscious, for these people prices don't matter.It depends upon their principles, preference,importance.

In India there is no Quality concious. Because of adulteration involved in more number of products. So, it will affect the goods quality goods. Not only that adulteration products can be available at cheapest price. People can prefer only that type of products.

Here I think every one is in a mis-conception that a comodity's cost determines its quality. But here I'ld like to point out that there a slight difference between quality goods and costly goods. Its not necessary that a costly good may be of good quality and a good that is inexpensive may not be of bad quality. Lets take an example. Many brands like reebok, addidas, bajaj, honda, etc, launch new products every now and then in the name of experiment, but how many of these products really survive in the market - a handful. Most of these products lack to satisfy the customers and hence fail. But aren't these goods expensive. Of course they are. Now viewing the other aspect. Many ready to eat junk foods are available in the market. Surely they are costlier than their counterparts at roadside thelas and dhabas. But I have seen people getting out of air conditioned cars and relishing the road side gol gappas. Ask yourselves, which ghee would you prefer, given a chance to select between nicely and attractively packed, preservaties added Ghee you get in AC malls and the one made of butter after churning the curd in front of your own eyes, which one would you choose? Now compare which one is costlier? So there is no relation between expensiveness of a product and its quality. Have you ever seen parents whether rich or poor asking their children to have unhygenic food to save money. Oviously they prefer better quality food. So in my point of view Indians are quality conscious.

Hey, As per my concerned Indians are too much quality conscious because if we see in India consists 28 states among them there are 7 to 8 metro-politician city they are fully developed because the majority of people are too much quality conscious for their living of standard, and also there are so many companies which are running in rural area with its effectiveness such as:- FM CG sector, FMCD sector, telecommunication companies they are going as far as good.

Matter is behind for rural people is don't know what is quality so it is very clear that Indian are quality conscious.
