Usually there is no indicator needed in potassium permanganate titrations as there will be an excess of manganate ions in the conical flask, turning the solution from colourless to pale pink.
It's the colour indicator you watch for during the titration.
the reason why a indicator is important in some titration is to show a change in the solution. for example as a solution runs from acidic to basic the indicator may turn a different color. but this is the reason why it is important inmost experiments.
The indicator will change color as the pH changes.
To see where the equivalent point is
Phenolphthalein indicates red for acids and blue for bases.

The dark purple color of permanganate fades because during the reaction permanganate is reduced to manganese cations and water. The other reactants and products are not strongly colored.

A double indicator is used to find the alkalinity of the water sample to prevent errors.
Benzaldehyde reacts with pottasium permanganate to generate benzoic acid (oxidation). Basic cnditions are required for the action of pottasium permanganate so sodium carbonate is used. But this gives sodium salt of benzoic acid which is soluble in water. To retrieve benzoic acid which is insoluble in water we use HCl.
During an experiment for chemistry, if an indicator will not work due to the lack of a reactant, the reactant can be added. You must then compensate for the added amount by creating a solution of the indicator and the the same amount of the reactant. The volume required in the blank titration must then be subtracted from the other results to obtain quality results. This is an indicator blank and how it is used.
during a titration when a titrant completely furnished the sample then this is the end point of titration.
This is far to be a rule for this titration.
An indicator shows when we have added just enough of the second reagent to react with the first. If you mean why do we add only a small amount of indicator, it is to keep the answer accurate. Some of the reagent is used changing the indicator so the answer is always slightly bigger than perfection, and the more indicator you add, the larger the error.
