Allegation: QNET’s Operations in India are illegal
Response: QNET Operates in India through a licensing agreement with Vihaan Direct Selling (India) Pvt Ltd.
The company’s operations are fully compliant with Indian laws and business regulations. The company is a good corporate citizen in all aspects, including compliance and all tax matters which are duly lodged and filed accordingly.
We want to assure you, our IRs that QNET is a legitimate business with a 17-year global history. The lack of legislation to govern direct selling companies in India has at times wrongly resulted in QNET being accused of running a money circulation scheme. QNET has been actively advocating for legislation to help legitimate direct selling companies distinguish themselves from Pyramid and Ponzi schemes that operate under the guise of direct selling.
QNET is an advocate for professional marketing and ethical behaviour of its IRs. The company takes significant measures in working transparently and standardising ethical business practices. Our IRs, as distributors, are held to a very strict code of ethics and are held responsible for misrepresenting the business. We encourage that any misrepresentation be reported to the compliance department via email to our support center. We have already reached out to the public through a number of published public notices in leading newspapers around the country.
Thank you for your continued support. Join us in advocating for legislating this powerful industry that has helped so many people.

With due respect to all the good companies in Direct Selling , i consider QNET for various reasons as the best direct selling company in the Direct Selling Industry . In India, its paying the price of being the best in the world .In the case of some IR’s misrepresenting QNET , QNET is taking action against them just as in any other organization when any employee does anything wrong , the person is taken to task e.g So many scams in banking are happening daily , but no one bans the bank !!!With regards products I am using the Health products such as the wonderful Bio-disc for over 4 yrs and now cannot live without it .People who don’t use it properly will always have be complaint box . God bless such people.
Message , I would like to leave to learned critics of the world ” Plz do not propagate false news about MLM , Direct selling , Network MArketing without doing proper homework on the advantages of this Industry and understanding the difference between a good and bad companies . Plz understand , by doing so , you are murdering the opportunity of millions of people who have a dream , who are hardworking but looking for a business idea , a business vehicle where the initial business capital is not very high and there is a chance to fulfill your dream’s”.
With legislation coming in India i very soon , I believe all the challenges would be a thing of past. People will be happy to join this Industry while doing what they are doing without quitting their jobs or business .
