Do Indians care about the Country of Origin tag while purchasing products?

I was casually scrolling across Amazon looking for a smartwatch for a family member, when I came across this tag called Country of Origin on the product description details section. To my surprise most of the so-called Indian brands like Noise and Boat have Country of Origin specified as surprise surprise *China*. I felt kinda disgusting tbh. Then I scrolled over the list of products that I have purchased over Amazon ranging from mouse pads to Milton water bottles and almost all of them had this country of origin from China, except for the Bhagwat Purana copy(Thank God). I think we Indians are by sheer ignorance depleting India's forex reserves and demoting efforts by our Entrepreneur to manufacture in India. We may end up getting cheap products but it costs us loss in GDP and job opportunities in India. I guess we could take a lesson out of the Japanese book where Japanese people don't buy non-Japanese products. It's a conscious decision.
