Indians are impossible sometimes 🤦‍♀️

I’ve done business with both Indian clients as well as International clients and I’ve found that dealing with Indians regardless it being vendors , govt officials or clients and customers it’s always a hassle and their thought process is kinda backwards or they just act very stingy and keep bargaining regardless if it’s a fruit vendor or a company. I understand negotiations are a part of business but there’s a place and time for that. I feel like Indians don’t care about quality they just want cheap.

I’ve always had this question on why Indians are very stingy when it comes to paying money for premium products. I agree there are Indians especially in the young generation who aren’t shy from spending for quality products but the masses are still stuck in the bargaining or cheap mindset. When we look for cars the first thing we probably check is kitna mileage dega ? When we look at a premium product we compare it to a copy or a product that does not offer the same quality or service that a premium product offers. What are the reasons to it and when or how can we come out of it. This is one of the reasons we have got the “slave / miser ” label outside our county and why we’ve got weak passports which make it difficult to take a vacation like citizens of other countries .

Although India is a country with great culture and food,but it seems due to lack of unity, selfishness and a tendency to pull down others, India would take light years to be a developed country. Also this has been a major root cause of being attacked by so many invaders over the centuries. Someone who has resources in abundance, would not take any interest to help others in need. Not just basic,but any other thing also. Infact to say,we get easily influenced by anything. We don't have our own identity just like the French. Shoot your comments....

I met one of my college friends yesterday at a bar. She got married last year and was laying down the struggle of finding a new job. Now, apparently in many interviews when she reached the final few rounds, the HR or the Hiring Manager enquires about marital status and whether she has any children. When she mentions that she recently got married and that she does not have any kids, the company stops responding to her. She elaborated that although they might have found another fit for the role but she is a T-1 grad who did her Masters from an Ivy League college and has worked for 4-5 years in both NA+EMEA and India. It is becoming more apparent to her that, HRs and Hiring Managers have a strong bias because they are definitely presuming that since she recently got married and will likely have a child soon, that she will use up her maternity privileges leading to significant productivity drop. Meaning, that the company will likely have to hire someone else to make up for productivity loss. She does not plan to have kids for another 3-4 years but getting married is proving really hard for her. Especially in the Series B+ startups that she is applying to.

It's a very Indian mindset to treat or look down upon people who make a lot of money. We find some or the other reason to bring them down. We call them names. Though most of our life problems can be solved by money. Just like there is an American dream I think the Indian dream is to stay middle class and bitch about people who do the hard work. I understand that there are certain classes of people who are truly disadvantaged in terms of caste or patriarchy but for others it's just being lazy and reluctant to change. Bitching about people who are successful just gives them a sense of achievement without actually putting in the effort.
