India’s Hindustan Unilever (HUL) has changed the operating model of its direct-selling business, Hindustan Unilever Network, paving the way for a likely debut in e-commerce.
“The Hindustan Unilever Network business model has transitioned from physical servicing to an online ordering and fulfillment model,” an HUL spokesperson said.

The direct-selling industry on Tuesday earned praise from a Federal Trade Commission (FTC) commissioner amid calls for greater regulation.
