Example Starts from 1) Levis Belts US version vs Indian Version 2) Coke/Fanta etc US/Europe version vs Indian Version 3) Oils, Veggies, Fruits 4) Milk & Milk Products 5) Chocolates, Dairy Milk brands etc And these are not even Counterfeit Products. Companies taking undue advantages as no Rules/Regulations exists.... Imagine whats the scenario with Fake products. This country is beyond repair Source : Insta - SanjayArorashow more

It’s a chicken and egg problem. Companies start out with good products only to realise Indian consumers don’t care much for quality, only for price. Also, companies are constrained with power price points (5,10,15,20) and have to make sure the value chain fits into these buckets.

The whole mindset, way of business, regulations etc need to be changed

The govt is the only one who can do that and create a level playing field. It must mandate stricter labelling laws, min. ingredient requirements.

@SecularTrainee Every ingredient is put on the label...what more can govt do...it's upto ppl to reject cheap ingredient stuff

@SecularTrainee Most people don’t care or don’t have the mental faculties to decipher labels. Many countries make it easier for the consumers by having traffic light (red/amber/green) labels for salt, sugar and fats. We should contemplate doing this in India.

When I used to consume cold drinks, my parents used to stop me. Then I used to give Warren Buffett example to them who drinks coca cola daily and my dad used to say they have different products with same names in West. I didn't believe him that time but now I believe.

Hmmmm. This wont chang anytime soon

Well its their way of controlling population i guess🤷🏻‍♂️

😭😭😭

@kanwarlal1990 This nation must descend into ruin first. Only in the smoke of its collapse will the future find oxygen.

Lot of people believe it is their patriotic duty to consume garbage. That politician who drank trashy water from Ganga to prove it is sacred says everything.

I have been getting some abuses just cor posting this. Imagine how emo their patriotic mindset is

You are wasting your time highlighting this stuff. It is hopeless to try to put some sense in these political zombies.

Vishwaguru 💪🔥

4th Largest Economy flexing its power over the world 💪💪

3rd largest economy soon 🚀 No healthcare for the poor No working babus Dirty food, broken roads Still 💪🗿

Same. I have experienced it with clothes quite often. Other countries have much superior quality of clothes than the same brands in India. It isn’t fair.

Agree

Even US and Europe version are pole apart in themselves. Fanta in US is pure sugar. While Fanta in Europe doesn't even look orange in colour.

Even a very small but important item like Dry-cells The @Duracell battery bought even way back in 1996 from UK - never leaked for years. A @Duracell battery bought in 2025 leaks spoiling the Toys, Remotes, torches to BP / oxymeter etc

It's cuz of our corrupt and incompetent @fssaiindia which cares more about corporate interests instead of the health of Indian consumers that we are in this position

This difference you can tell because you know the difference. However, general Indian who never been to outside of #India will not be able to understand the gap. I bought a @LEVIS #Jeans in the #USA that lasted for 7+ years. The Indian @LEVIS #torn in 2 years.

This is true but exaggerated. India exports these products that meet strict global standards, while domestically we mostly consume cost-optimized versions made for local price sensitivity. We lack weak enforcement, low consumer awareness & limited willingness to pay for quality

The Food Ministry in India is one of the most corrupt ministries, they never brought any strict laws, never understood why @BJP4India couldn’t bring any strict laws against unhygienic & unhealthy foods? Why @PMOIndia don’t wanna take strict actions against these fake products! 🤬

Fssai ne Indian standard ko low rakha hai

This man resembles Shahbaz Shareef

Lmao

What I hate is, here in the US you get good quality Basmati rice compared to what you get in India. Companies export better quality out of India and sell inferior ones at home.

@fssaiindia is sleeping

For cars its absolutely crazy that we pay double the price for worse cars, then pay double for petrol as well

Regulations + the spending power of the consumer

Bhai abuses aur soros ka tl;dr do kya kya mili

You have never eaten good Indian veggies & fruits. You have an agenda. Indians are to blame for wanting cheaper prices nor Govt. US Coke is corn syrup, Indian Coke is sugar so Indian is better type many replies 😆

😂😂

💯 true. I realized this 10 years ago when I had an aftershave I used—one from Dubai and one from India. The Indian version was a cheap, diluted one! They say Indians are scammers. No, we are the biggest suckers who get scammed legally and aren’t even aware of it. 🤦🏽‍♂️

This is not usually because international companies are trying to take advantage of people here. It is mainly because they need to sell products at prices that are affordable for us. So they adjust the quality to match what the market can pay. Whether it is soft drinks, chips, ice cream, or everyday packaged items, the quality in developed countries is often higher. They cannot sell the exact same version here because it would be too expensive for a large part of the population.

First ask if Indian Consumers will pay atleast 1/2 of what these Products cost in Europe/UK Those who can afford are buying the Imported Versions of all these Products Malasyian Fanta Can ₹375/- for 2 Cans Indian Fanta Can ₹40/- per Can

Governance issues prevail- Corruption Lethargy among bureaucrats Incapable civil servants Public more interested in caste, religion and region than quality life per se

Even the PM is two tier.. Indian PM outside India is secular, talks about vision, development, glorious past and post independence achievements.. Indian PM inside India is Mughals, Meat, Mangalsutra, Macchi.. why this disparity

Even cerelac has sugar! Why though?

Tae Cadbury dairy milk. I used to eat daily during 2006-07. It was actually good n soothing. But now even though size has reduced exponentially but it tastes just a sugary mix, yucks

Indian Consumer's !!

Video Source:

Saw a similar video about Loreal's Hyaluronic Serum & how it uses cheap outdated products for the Indian market & also sells it for double than in France where it uses better products but is also cheaper by half.

Just buy 3 Roses Tea powder in India and Europe.. You will be surprised, the first quality will always be exported. The joke is, the first quality is never sold in India..

Reason why India is a low trust society.

@PMOIndia 4th larges economy of scam?

Govt provides space for all adulteration and bad quality ingredients . Do you think this is possible without govt support ??

1. No global leverage other than labor rate arbitrage 2. Very high percentage of dehaat 3. Community culture/civic sense non existent 4. A smll percentage educated elite class trying to compete with the world. 5. Institutionalised corruption And you expect world class stuff !!
