00:00In my corporate life, I was once a consultant to one of the top vehicle manufacturers of our country.

00:07And you know, in the small and mid-sized segment, models are especially made to cater to the dowry market.

00:15So that you can claim that you gifted this kind of car to your daughter without mentioning the exact model.

00:20So the difference between the base model and the highest one can even run into 2x.

00:26I am talking about 2004-2005.

00:28The base model could be priced at 4.

00:30The top model could be priced at 8 or 9.

00:32But still you could claim that I have gifted this particular car, let's say a Santro, at that time.

00:36So I enquired and they said it's the dowry thing.

00:38Our retailers are trained to ask a customer,

00:42Do you need that for marriage?

00:43The moment you learn that the fellow is buying it for marriage,
