Women Make Up 47% of Sellers in India's Direct Selling Industry

India's direct selling industry has a fresh report card. As reported by Storyboard18, the ADSEI-Kantar report puts the industry at a notable new size and finds that women make up 47% of sellers. That is nearly half of the people choosing to build a business through direct selling in the country.

It is a useful snapshot of who is taking part. Direct selling lets people start with a flexible model, work around their own schedules and grow at their own pace, and the report suggests many women in India are doing exactly that.
