I know ppl have mixed opinions, but after having first hand experience one may say i will never buy them even though there are steal deals
My List:
1. Invictus t-shirts and clothes
2. Wrogn clothes
3. Provogue watches
4. Life Long and Insala brand products
5. LG slimline gram laptop, for that matter any slimline where parts not freely available in market
6. Acer, Lenovo laptops
7. Any brand type-C PD charging with HDMI & USB ports for PD charging and display
8.Campus deeply discounted shoes like they come for 300 etc.
9. Any brand BLDC (crompton, Havells i have experience, but wanted to completely avoid BLDC)
Now your list

Not against any particular brand but my experience was bad after buying some discounted products in sales so i don't recommend
1. Cables, earphones and chargers unless they are from reputed mobile manufacturing brands.
2. New brands facewash, oil, shampoo and personal hygiene products with no or less reviews.
3. Memory cards and SSD/HDDs without customer reviews about originality and proper packaging.
4. Mobile batteries

Perfect!
1. Recently brought portronics usb c to usb a cable at 49/- from blinkit loot, feels total waste, it doesn't fit properly (type c side) and very poorly braided. Also, cheap earphones will damage your hearing ability to a large extent. Choosing a cheap charger is enough to ruin your phone.
2. They are doing clinical trails on you in the name of sample loot at 1/-.
3 & 4. They are very prone to duplicate.

Noise watches and neckband, i had bad experience in the past, not sure abt today's services... Currently using boult neckband since 1 yr, superb performance...
Powerbanks, they are pretty useless if u don't travel frequently, i had used multiple brands, and some are very bad, there power cells itself degraded within 1 year, lost 1K...
UCB sneakers bought from Myntra, shoes material wear off within 1 year, bought 2K price sneakers... sparx is good brand, had been using sparx black sneaker with white stripes for almost 4 yrs... No complaint whatsoever...
Biotique, mamaearth... Products are bad, not worth it...

Let me guess, you didn't take ADP (accidental damage protection). Always take ADP for any laptop brand nowadays.

I never buy products from so called 'brands' who do nothing but 'rebrand' Chinese products as their own.
I will never buy entry level stuff from some of the well established brands. Pricing competition ruined the product quality. e.g. Lenovo, Acer, HP when it comes to laptops. I would rather look at Samsung! I still believe that a true good quality laptop would cost you noting below 1L rupees.
I have a thing in my mind for brands and their products.
Mobile Phones -- Apple, Samsung (only flagships).... Low budget -- I will settle for a Motorola
Washing Machines -- LG, Samsung, Bosch.... Low budget -- I will settle for a Godrej
TV -- Samsung, LG, Sony .... Low budget -- I will settle for a VU, Mi
Music Related -- JBL, Sony, Samsung, LG.... Low budget -- I will settle for a F&D, Mi
Refrigerators -- Samsung, LG, Bosch.... Low budget -- I will settle for a Voltas, Godrej
AC -- Carrier, Daikin.... Low budget -- I will settle for a Voltas
Mixer Grinder -- Bosch, Philips
Sports Shoes -- No online shopping, only in-store. Nike, Adidas, Crocs.... Low budget -- I will settle for a Red Tape
Leather Formal Shoes -- Roush, Aldo, Clarks.... Low budget -- I will settle for a Red Tape, Lee Cooper & Hush Puppies
BLDC Fans -- Only Atomberg for now
Watches -- Automatics with Swiss or Japanese movement. Either made in Switzerland, Japan or Germany.... Low budget -- I will settle for a Titan
Smart Bands -- Fitbit, Garmin, Apple, Samsung.... Low budget -- I will settle for a Amazfit
Powerbanks -- Mi/Redmi, Samsung
I will rather wait and increase my budget then settle on something which makes no sense.

Yeah! Good choice, but not always true that only brands deliver. For example BT speaker tribid has amazing sound that i never expected. realme 5 pro ear buds deliver great value for the price paid.
LG ACs, my i9 max pro projector they delivered beyond my expectations.
amazon basics HDMI cables, amazon basics wet and dry vaccum cleaner, amazon basics tyre inflator etc.
For large appliances like fridge, TV, washing machine, i used only LG & Samsung.
Semi-automatic washing machines whirl pool was very good, Panasonic disappointed me..

What's the issue with wrogn, invictus,campus and bldc?
https://www.desidime.com/comments/permalink/10406866
invictus clothing is very bad. same with wrogn, and HRX clothing. They are just worth 50 rs or shoudl be free. i paid 380 each and returned all of them. FK & myntra flagged me and now charging rs. 75 if i return. I returned 6 of each brand.
campus deep discounted products are very old and will tear in weeks time. 2 months back campus website sold them for rs 380 etc.
:Like they mention mfg. for grocery they should mention for these items as well.
BLDC please look above
Edit:
@kartikxxx , just now received campus shoes from amazon which i bought for 480/- They are 05/2023 mfg. date. Now i have to return for sure they are going to fade away in no time

1.Clothes- local shop se brand kabhi nahi dekha bas comfort and budget.
2.Watch- Analogue max 2000rs brand may be fast-track (current) and any good.
3.Laptop- Asus,Acer. hp and dell are expensive.
4.Earphone- JBL OnePlus samsung
5.Cleaning liquid- Always try alternative brand like solimo,pestro in place of Vim& harpic
6.Engine oil- Veedol/Motul in place of Castrol Because they only price brand charge at 19-20 Farakh
7.Grocery- In daily grocery Quality comes first no trust to any brand try and use in place of brand try local item first which are locally produced.

I will not buy clothes, groceries and kirana store stuffs most of the time from online

Recommendation are mostly based on personal experience, in my two washroom, Bajaj geysers are installed. One working fine and another need repair frequently. I generally try to avoid monopoly products which are very precious and needs proper maintenance. We can't replace parts with local Market vendor and need to visit its own service center.

Well in clothing it is more or less hit and miss, I used to buy Levi's products more due to good fitting and even when I bought the product from in-store I have got some shirts that got faded in months. While some of my Reliance trends shirts are still very usable
I personally think any big brands selling products at low cost could be inferior ones. My JBL low end earphones never lasted more than 5 months.
In music I would not choose Boat or noise due to bad music output.
In footwear I think branded products which is made in India is much inferior to the imported counterparts of the same brand
