Global Direct Selling Company Qnet Ltd. will not pull out from India, said the founder and executive chairman of the QI Group of Companies Vijay Eswaran.
Attributing the group’s decision to stay on to “a wave of good feelings” towards business in India with the recent change of government there, he said India still remains a logical target market for the group.
Hong Kong-based QI Group is a conglomerate whose flagship company, QNET, is in the business of Direct Selling in several countries across the globe.
The Times of India, in a series of articles in 2013, had reported that QNET India was being probed for allegedly duping thousands of investors by selling them plastic and glass products that it claimed could cure diseases like cancer. According to the report, the probe came about after someone filed a First Information Report (FIR) against the company at the Economic Offences Wing of the Police Department in Mumbai. Five people, including Eswaran were reportedly named in the FIR, the report said, adding that arrests were expected soon.
In an interview with The Edge Weekly, Eswaran denied the fraud allegations, dismissing them as indicative of corruption and poor journalistic standards in India, adding that the group would

by Nicole Dunkley • • 0 Comments
Welcoming the Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley’s announcement about proposed amendment to the Prize Chits and Money Circulation Scheme (Banning) Act, 1978, direct selling company QNET lauded the forthcoming clarifications and called for setting up a regulator to monitor the business.
Jaitley said in his budget speech: “As part of the legislative initiatives under financial sector reforms, it is proposed to bridge the regulatory gap under the Prize Chits and Money Circulation Scheme (Banning) Act, 1978.”
“This step is expected to facilitate effective regulation of companies and entities which have duped a large number of poor and vulnerable people in this country,” Jaitey said.
Appreciating the initiative Zaheer Merchant of QNET’s Corporate Affairs, said that the direct selling business, unfortunately, was being clubbed under the Prize Chits Act due to certain misconceptions.
“The amended Act will hopefully take care of this, clarify the differences and encourage genuine direct selling as opposed to other forms of schemes,” Mr Merchant said.
Direct selling, he said, generates employment, encourages self employment, cuts down marketing and promotional expenses, apart from contributing to the exchequer. The need of the hour, therefore, is to formulate clear cut laws to govern the MLM and direct selling industry in India.
Merchant pointed out that other fast growing economies such as
