QNET Clarifies Allegations: Refutes Organiser’s Claims, Reinforces Vihaan’s Ethical Operations

QNET Clarifies Allegations: QNET, a global direct selling company, has strongly denied allegations made by the news portal "Organiser" against its Indian sub-franchisee, Vihaan Direct Selling (India) Pvt. Ltd. The company emphasized its commitment to ethical operations, compliance with Indian laws, and transparency in business practices.
Compliance with Indian Laws and Ethical Practices
Vihaan operates a legitimate direct selling model under the guidelines issued by the Ministry of Consumer Affairs. Contrary to the claims in "Organiser’s" article, the company complies with all legal requirements and continues its operations seamlessly.
Vihaan fully adheres to the Direct Selling Rules in India.
The allegations of insolvency and financial instability are baseless.
No court has questioned Vihaan’s refund policy or product pricing.
NCLT Order Misrepresentation
The article falsely claims that the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) ordered Vihaan to cease its operations. However, the referenced petition (C.P No.109/BB/2019) was withdrawn without objections, rendering the claims factually incorrect.
Accusations of Fraud and Money Laundering
The claims of fraud and money laundering are defamatory and lack factual support. Vihaan highlights:
The Supreme Court of India, in March 2017, stayed over 21 FIRs against Vihaan.
The High Court of Karnataka ruled that Vihaan’s operations do not fall under the Prize Chits and Money Circulation Schemes (Banning) Act, 1978.
There are no court rulings prosecuting Vihaan for financial fraud or money laundering.
Transparency and Business Integrity
Vihaan maintains transparent operations, including:
A clear grievance redressal mechanism
A 30-day refund policy for genuine product complaints.
Comprehensive distributor training to promote ethical practices and sustainable growth.
Clarification on Celebrity Associations
The claim that QNET uses celebrities to promote its business is unfounded. Celebrities and sports figures are invited to share motivational stories at events, not to endorse the company’s products or services.
QNET and Vihaan remain committed to empowering entrepreneurs through a legitimate and ethical direct selling model. The company urges the media to verify facts before publishing misleading information and will pursue legal recourse against defamatory claims.
