Hi All,

Quality! A word that says it all about a product. We say, its a good product or a badproduct. So, what is in first case Quality? Why is it directly proportionality withreliability and good will? Quality according to me is in conformance with some standardsset to make a product more valuable and accountable. In Indian market some productsdo lack quality due to following reasons: Cost, Time, Attitude, Lack of Competition etc. Ittakes an initial cost to renovate an existing product to bring in quality and assurance ofquality. The 'chalta hai' attitude of some producers is taking its toll. For example, every

year some thousands of farmers are committing suicides for fake seeds. Many are dyingdue to food poisoning. Ill built buildings are collapsing due to lack of quality. The qualityis but a Myth in India except for some Industries.

In Global scenario, why are other companies gaining Indian market? Its due to quality.How many of us are using Indian TV's, shoes, clothes, and other accessories? The fact isthat we do have faith in other companies as they take the responsibility of quality where

we can be assured of the product. For a sustained growth in India, the quality baseshould be emphasized, the products should match with world-class standards, and thenonly we can survive in this global village. It is not enough for manufacturing quality steel,cement, IT products, etc. it is equally important to provide quality water, quality food,and quality air... Now, I would like to make a point here. It is each individual'sresponsibility to see that quality is provided in day-to-day life.

hi all,

this topic is quite interesting to discuss. Quality when I define in terms of Indianmentally its of two kind, one if the cost is more then they say "quality" is good. there isanother kind of people who choose for "less cost more quantity but they never look at thequality. I think the major cause for other companies gaining Indian market is due tolaziness of Indians, and there is a prestigious issue to use Indian product.

remedy for this is everyone should be aware of quality and how we waste our resourcesto others

Hi All,

If Quality is a Myth in India. Why are Multi National Companies coming to Indiato start their industries with our work force. The outsourcing of software products andservices itself is accounting for a major chunk in Indian GDP. We do have qualityproducts all over and many organizations that take care of this. CMMi, SIX Sigma, ISO,

AGMARK to name a few. Each industry has its own standards apart from this to bewithin acceptable errors. We cant take few incidents of farmers and conclude that wedont have quality all over the world. In spite of huge pollution that we create in water,soil, air, and the government is striving hard to give us clean water to the mountingpopulation, which is increasing day by day by leaps and bounds.

World looks at India for quality people. It is here that n no. of foreigners visit yearly anddo stay in world-class hotels. Considering the population we have, the public servicesprovided to us do match world standards. The rail/road/air network picking up accuratetimings would stun even developed countries that could manage things with lesserpopulation. It is upon us to invest little more and buy quality products and discouragelow-quality products. It lies in our hands to weed out this problem. In developedcountries the taxpayers pay nearly 30% of their taxes, whereas in India only 3% of thempay their taxes. This is a point to be noted,

to demand quality we need to perform our duties first. A small example to closemy talk. Consider the number of cine theaters we have and their punctuality theymaintain. I doubt any country in the world to produce the same result.Posted By: cishawsharma

Quality is a myth in India.

In my opinion quality is not a myth in India. In any aspect like in consumer goodsor human capability. in any sense we maintain a good quality. however in some areas welack in quality due to economic problems. But in some areas we are doing our best. likeininformation technologywe maintain a very good quality of work. but coming to someconsumer goods we lack in quality due to socio-political-economical problems. We mustalso concentrate on consumer goods quality to improve our economic status.however weare concentrating in improving our quality.

Quality was a myth in India a few years back! But with growing disposable incomesof Indians and increasing consumer protection concerns ,buyers are getting more awareand wise in their decisions! The manufacturing and other skills of Indian entrepreneursmay have been traditional but now with a growing population and huge investments

,India is on the forefront of economic reforms and liberalization. With the dawn of the21st century ,India is having a boast in terms of bilateral relations with many countriesand the recent visits by US and other countries highlights this. It won't be late beforeIndia stands on the likes of china in terms of quality and service and soon emerge as asuperpower dictating terms to others.

In my point of view Quality is not a myth in inda. Now a days customers werehaving great awareness related to quality assurance. They prefer to buy only brandedproduct. To fulfill this need of customer the products were manufactured according tothe standards like ISO,AGMARK .It is not a true fact that we r not able to sustain against

global completions we know many industrialist like Rathan tata,mittal were fromIndia .But to some extent we r also failing in producing Quality product due to economic& political problem.
