TRANSCRIPTS OF THE TELEPHONIC INTERVIEW

RURAL RESPONDENTS:

1. INTERVIEWEE- DINESH KUMAR


INTERVIEWER- PRERNA SINHA
GENDER: MALE

Prerna: Hello, I would like to have an interview of yours regarding your opinion about malt
health drinks. Are, you willing to answer my questions?
Dinesh: Yes.

Prerna: Aright! Let me just introduce you to the topic of the interview.
It is all about malt based health drink. Malt based health drink is a fermented drink in which
the primary ingredient is the grain, or seed, of the barley plant, which has been allowed to
sprout slightly in a traditional way called "malting" before it is processed.

Prerna: So may we begin now?


Dinesh: Yes sure!

Prerna: May I know your age.


Dinesh: I am 35 years old.

Prerna: What is your educational qualification?


Dinesh: I have studied till SSC

Prerna: What is your family monthly income?


Dinesh: It’s around 15,000

Prerna: How many members are there in your family? Is there any child below the age of
12?
Dinesh: There are 11 members in our family. Yes, there are two children below the age of
12.

Prerna: Are you a vegetarian or a non-vegetarian?


Dinesh: We are Non vegetarian

Prerna: Do you consume malt health drinks?


Dinesh: I don’t consume regularly but my children consume it.

Prerna: Okay that’s good. So, may I know which brand of malt health drink do they prefer?
Dinesh: They drink Horlicks.
Prerna: If I ask you what are the reasons for the consumption of malt based health drinks.
What will you say?
Dinesh: The taste of the Horlicks is good. Not only the children but elders also like the taste.
My daughter sometimes eats roti with Horlicks. It helps to improve the health. During
sickness we prefer drinking Horlicks the most in order to gain the lost weight.

Prerna: What do you think about the price? Is it affordable?


Dinesh: We bring the sachet packets of Horlicks which costs rupees 5 per sachet. But since
we purchase it from the oldest grocery store from our locality so they give us 12 sachets of
Horlicks at discount.

Prerna: Aright! So, these were your reasons for purchasing the malt based drink.
Now, May I know what could have been the reasons for not consuming the health drinks
based on your opinion? Mention at least two to three points.

Dinesh: Had the sachet pack not been available then it would have been quite difficult for us
to purchase the big packet of Horlicks as it’s quite costly.
Secondly, had the children been little older then I would have insisted them to eat cereals
and plain cow milk.

Prerna: Now, can you tell me that what are the things that one should know while
purchasing any malt based health drink?
Dinesh: We see the date of manufacturing and the brand name. We never purchase any
local or unknown brand things.
