Jay Chen shared an Instagram video yesterday where he gave two reasons why he finds it tough to work with Indians. A Chinese electronics trader has sparked a debate by saying that it is hard to work with Indian clients.
He did add a disclaimer, saying that his first overseas client was from India and that helped him kickstart his business. His video has sparked a debate on doing business with Indians. “I always make sure to visit the factory to check the quality of items which are provided to me are good enough for the price of nah.
The people of the country also have a reputation for being price conscious, he said.

I also ask for samples if I am not able to visit and use them for like 30 days personally,” another added. Because they are viewed as scammers, the second reason why people don’t want to work with Indians, Chen theorized, is.
Chen, whose Instagram bio states that he works in global sourcing and electronic components, said that many people across the world tend to view Indians as scammers. “The first is maybe most India clients will say, ‘Uh, just give me sample and your price is too high,’” he noted.
