India is a land of shopkeepers selling to over a billion consumers. India is becomingly increasingly Westernized, but it will be quite a while (if not forever) before shopkeepers are supplanted by large retailers. The sheer volume of small store owners requires a large number of distributors to service them. The younger generation in India, particularly the IT rich areas of Bangalore and Chennai, have far higher disposable income than the older generation and the rest of the country. These young workers have very different retail habits and are causing changes in India’s shopping and supply chain needs. Poor infrastructure, although not entirely a retail concern, is another reason why India may need far more distributors than in the U.S.

Customers who are not distributors will likely give you the most objective answer.Any legitimate network marketing opportunity is only as good as you make it. You'll only sell the products if you market them effectively, and you'll only grow your team of distributors if you work at attracting them to you.
