In India, shopping isn’t just about comparing prices;
It’s about holding your breath as you swipe your credit card, hoping the product works as expected. No matter how carefully you choose, almost all of us have lost money and trust at some point.
- Imagine an unhappy customer setting his electric two-wheeler on fire to protest against defective products.
- Or recall the shock when European countries uncovered dangerous levels of lead in spices our families have trusted for generations.
- Every day, people across the country share horror stories of their five-star-rated air conditioners failing during peak summers, malfunctioning washing machines, and unresponsive customer service lines that drain their hard-earned savings.
- And too many of us have unwittingly taken “miracle” Ayurvedic pills, risking our health on unchecked claims.
So why shopping today requires hours of research?
We’ve all been there. Scrolling through reviews that feel… off. Like that ₹15,000 air purifier with 4.9 stars, but every comment reads like a bot wrote it (“Excellent product! Very good!”). Or influencers in Goa sunset backdrops raving about a skincare brand they’ve never used off-camera. Even chatbots echo the same jargon: “This product is the best!” (Spoiler: It’s not). Today the internet is drowning in fake reviews and brand-sponsored recommendations.
- In 2023, Amazon blocked 250 million fake reviews.
- Influencers lack expertise on the wide range of shopping products they review, trading audience loyalty for brand deals.
- Sponsored content in media blurs the line between truth and marketing.
- AI chatbots like ChatGPT amplify the same biased claims, creating echo chambers.
- Retail shelves are stacked with high-margin items, not the best ones.
- Salesmen hard-sell the appliances that generate the highest commissions.
- And when things go south? Good luck. Take Rohan, a product manager in Gurgaon, who fought for 6 months to replace a defective TV that broke down in the first month. The “warranty” process? A maze of calls, broken Hindi-English scripts, and ₹12,000 in legal fees.
But why is it so difficult to find in-depth, unbiased recommendations online in India?
Because genuine testing and research require resources, and someone has to pay. Consider the process of evaluating air conditioners before recommending the best one in India, we must learn about their durability under Delhi’s scorching heat, Mumbai’s relentless humidity causing corrosion, Meerut’s unpredictable power fluctuations tripping PCBs, and the extreme temperatures of India’s desert regions. This level of deep analysis requires specialized expertise and financial investment.
- Most consumers will not pay for access to expert online reviews.
- Ad-driven sites chase pageviews and clicks, not credibility and quality.
- On YouTube, creators can earn Rs 5 lakh for a brand-sponsored ‘unbiased review after buying the product’, yet only Rs 5,000 from pre-roll ads on a truly independent, authentic review.
- And brands often issue legal notices to those who dare to expose genuine but negative customer feedback, creating significant risk for minimal financial reward.
