Indian customers are also very class conscious, they would eschew a cheaper product merely because their servant maids can afford them.
Is "class-conscious" some new euphemism for "assholes" that I haven't previously been aware of?
It depends. Is "I haven't previously been aware of" a new euphemism for "I have my head shoved so far up my ass that I've never noticed how societies work"? Because there is nothing new about this behavior anyplace. People were assholes about class indicators long ago, they are assholes about class indicators now, and they will be assholes about class indicators in the future.
