Who is it for?

In the market, there is no differentiation for the product in terms of Quality. Highly promoted / advertised brands have higher prices and reputation. All the consumers cannot afford higher prices product. However, consumers should not suffer with the poor quality product even though the price is nominal. We do purchase a lot of unfamiliar brands. Even though few unfamiliar brands make good quality products but not able to become familiar in the market as there is no recognition / promotion with respect to the quality.

QualSurestandards are developed in alignment with International Standardsand well known retailer / brands standards. QualSure schemes and standards developed considering the unfamiliar brands to well known brands, small factory to composite units and supply chain dynamics.
