Some dependable RAM brands include Corsair, Kingston, G.Skill, Crucial, and Samsung.

The G Skill warranty in India is quite strong, so Corsair is a solid choice. What else do you think might work well?
Micron, Crucial, Kingston, GeIL, GoodRAM, Patriot are among the brands. The choice varies by model though.
Chris Farley joked about why boxes come with guarantees. Ted listened closely. Tommy explained it as a way to make customers feel secure, like a guarantee that the box would deliver. Ted appreciated the idea but wondered if it was just a clever trick. Tommy added that the guarantee was meant to reassure people, not to catch cheaters. He even offered to help if needed, but ultimately suggested buying from him instead of relying on the box's promise.
I included a few more. KLEVV is now accounted for. Using PCPartpicker as a reference. Based on my experience, there are several reliable brands available.
For the actual components, they tend to be quite similar across brands. Most companies outside of G.Skill and Corsair source off-the-shelf PCBs from a few major manufacturers, and ICs from another set of a few suppliers. They just put everything together in their own facilities. This explains why you see many smaller RAM makers like Silicon Power operating with minimal effort. The main differences usually lie in warranty terms, which vary quite a bit depending on your location rather than any other factors. I’m not really able to assist with this because I’m not very comfortable dealing with Indian customer service.
generally doesn't affect the choice of brand much, and lower prices tend to be better. Exceptions arise for certain heatspreaders or specific cases where reliable performance from divisions of RAM makers (like Klevv 5600C46 and Hynix) is guaranteed, or simply due to good performance in particular low-range categories from specific brands (for example TeamGroup 5600C46 Hynix A Die, where others rely on cheaper Samsung or Micron options).
How many warranties have you tried? I depend on them. Over 35 years of PC building, I've used two: a 2.1 GHz 4MB add-on card from 1990 and a Gigabyte 1080ti with a broken voltage module in 2019. The latter was bought new but came without any warranty. In a volcano, it still worked—though I suppose that doesn't compare to the reliability of a good warranty.
