Small companies and even entrepreneurial companies use this method to market the product that they have to offer to the general public. As the name suggests, it is direct and strictly consumer focussed. Direct selling enables all types of goods and services, that includes expensive jewellery and low selling products like cookware, everyday used cosmetics, items used in a. Houses like housewares, energy and insurance supplements and more and more. Tupperware is a great example of one of the leading direct selling companies in India.
The direct selling channel avoids all the middlemen in between a product selling cycle. The model is to offer a broad retail channel in a slight differentiating way. It is not only about getting a great value-adding product and getting it in the hands of a consumer, but more than that.
This model of business is primarily sold with the hope of business minds people will take on this venture. Every Indian who is entrepreneurial in his thinking capacity takes up this work of direct selling, it is a form of a low startup with low overhead costs. Thus, this business model while eliminating the middleman helps the business-minded person take on and build his/her own venture of selling and building business.
Having said that, we can claim that these people who work under this umbrella and ubiquitous sort of academy work on their own. They not only work with their time, but they also affiliate it with the company that uses the personal channel, this retains the freedom to run the business on their own terms.
This opportunity of running their own business is often regarded as the most lucrative opportunity that makes people get into the Direct Selling business. Thus, the main or the focus point of direct selling is the affiliate income that one can generate from the parent company. The purpose or goal of volunteers or joiners is only one and singular in nature.
The purpose or goal above all the work is to forge personal relationships with prospective customers. Anyone can be a prospective customer if he/she fulfils the need or want of the product or the designation, whatever the executive finds easy off.
Consultants have to build and forge relationships with clients/customers mainly through face to face discussions and demonstrations. In this time when social media is predominant in quite every field and the walls between industries are defusing, it is easy to go with.
For people at this age, direct selling is an easy market shift and a go-to strategy for marketing their products and generating customers with networking. This method is more looked at as a better and effective way of selling than that of traditional marketing of advertisements or securing shelf space.
Speaking of direct selling, it is quite famous in foreign and abroad countries. In India, the concept is relatively new than that of abroad. When we discuss direct selling, MLM is just the other round of it. The full form for MLM is Multi-level marketing, we should discuss it at this point to make it count on our path of learning about new marketing and distribution channels.
Multi-Level Marketing – Connecting networks
This might seem a new term to many but it is not new at all. Although the concept of direct selling and multi-level marketing is still in the early stages of growth, the concept is widely accepted and has a lot of users in India (The second most populous country in the world). If any of the concepts find a place here, it will most probably generate huge returns.
The term Multi-level marketing refers to a strategy that is operated and equipped by some companies. By some companies, we mean companies that dominantly are direct sales companies, in the field of any product or service.
Difference Between Multilevel marketing and Direct selling
MLM and direct selling may seem the same but there are some differences that are key to the definitions and working of both models. In a multi-level marketing strategy, the existing members try to promote and sell the products that the parent company offers to other individuals. Not only this selling aspect, but it also has the faculty to bring in and add on new recruits to the business.
The head is known as the distributor and is responsible for adding members and networks. The distributors are paid some percentage of the sales that their recruits (newly added) people make. These new recruits make and become what we call the distributor’s network or down team. These recruits are encouraged and motivated to make sales and as an outcome of those sales, earn money.
Multi-level marketing is a legal thing but there is one aspect that is added to it and is illegal by its nature. The illegal aspect is known to the world as “pyramid schemes”.
Do Multilevel marketing Companies Make Money?
It is reported and there are many actual proofs to prove this, that companies operating with this strategy earn a handsome amount. Multi-level marketing companies often generate billions in annual profits. However, these profits that they earn accrue to the majority of the workforce (who are constituents).
Often referred to as MLM participants. Out of all the distribution made, only a little profit is shared with individuals who are at the top tier of the MLM pyramid scheme. The fact that only the top tier people earn a handsome amount then becomes a new strategy of marketing for itself.
These earnings by those at the top tier in leadership are advertised and marketed in seminars and conferences. This sort of emphasis on the earnings of a few top earners motivates the new joiners. This in turn creates an illusion of financial indolence and the financially successful nature of the job. These small amount of earners are the marketing face of the MLM company that helps in generating more workforce under the whole organisation.
This pyramid scheme of MLM marketing makes people win companies with wrong assumptions. More and more distributors join the scheme with unrealistic and abnormal returns in earning margins. These sorts of earnings in real reality are just theoretical and merely improbable.

Business Model behind Multi-level marketing
Multi-level marketing, as previously mentioned, holds few top individuals as evidence of how it can lead to success and great financial earnings. This top shining tier of the brand is not what the issue with the scheme is. The issue is about a whole new perspective and dimensional shift.
The multi-level business model depends on the failure of the majority who fails in this pursuit of financial independence. They either fail to earn even a little or worse, they inject their own money from their own pockets to join and even then fail to earn a little amount, forget the unnatural amount. This is the main locus point of the business model at any MLM based company.
Volunteers who inject their own money into MLM becomes the reason why these companies become big and earn big in numbers, out of the received money from people, the MLM corporation only shares a little sum with the top tier participants. Thus, to enable the whole multi-level marketing organisation to work, the largest or majority of participants must operate at loss.
Only when those at the lower level of hierarchy operate in loss, the uppermost level of the MLM pyramid can derive their abnormal earnings. Those earnings then are emphasised and overemphasised by the MLM company to all other new joiners and this encourages them to participate at a financial loss.
We can clearly see that MLM or multilevel marketing is just about selling empty dreams to people who are unaware. The hope of high returns and easy income leads people to fall for these Ponzi schemes. In fact, this method of selling empty dreams is the focal point of their business model. The whole organisation is built on selling fake and empty hopes that appear really shiny.
Selling Dreams of Financial Independence
The main and even the primary face of an MLM company is the sales pitch. The sales pitch is obviously not the products and services. The products or services that the multilevel marketing company offers are only to the edge, or are just a fake face that they wear.
The products or services are largely peripheral to the MLM marketing model. Rather than a valid and sensible sales pitch, the company offers free confidence to the participants. The goal of that hyped up confidence is the promises of fake promises.
They have all sorts of techniques that they use to lure young people into the pyramid scheme. They will lure people with hopes of a “luxury lifestyle” or a lifestyle that you deserve. The basic sales pitch is that of financial independence and that all your dreams will come true.
You get the designation of “Independent distributor” and everything seems so good. You are hyped up by fellow young entrepreneurs and people would call you a ‘business partner’. MLM marketing companies don’t just sell you the idea of some financial and monetary benefits, they do more than that. MLM companies sell you dreams, that is what is known to us as “Selling the dream” in the real world.
We now know that Multi-level marketing people lure you to join by showing proof of income of the topmost tier level of the pyramid. One should not take that emphasised earning amount as a basis of hope for the same future earning prospects.
Structure of a Multi-level marketing Company
We looked at the business model of multi-level marketing, now let us see that in action. An MLM company mostly operates with the same structures as the business models.
Once a person is recruited in the scheme, by hook or by crook, they are given a designation of independent non-salaried participants. They can be known as many names, it can be associates, business owners, agents and whatever more that builds confidence.
Once they are boarded, they are authorised to distribute products or services that the company makes. Once they start selling the products and get some revenue from the company, they get some share of the income generated by the sales. It is here to note that they are just rewarded their share of the immediate retail profit from the customer and not downlines. The compensation paid is through a predefined compensation plan that is based on the products sold with the volunteer’s own efforts.
After this simple transaction, business owners or those independent distributors try to develop their organisations by either building an active consumer network, who buy directly from the company or they recruit newcomers. This starts a new chain of independent distributors who also build their network base. This expands the whole organisation at the overall level.
This is the basic structure of a multi-level marketing company.
Pyramid Scheme – The illegal scheme
A pyramid scheme is the formal name given to the same effect that we read up till now. A pyramid scheme is a scheme (and scam) that is based on a hierarchical setup of marketing networks. It is illegal by the way in every place of the world. The most famous pyramid scheme is nothing but a clean and clear Ponzi scheme.
Every new recruit who is recruited makes up the base of the structure and provides funding for the operations of these big scams. The funding that these innocent people provide become the abnormal return that the top tier of executives gets.
A pyramid scheme usually does not include selling off anything or any product or even service. It is based on the inflow of cash by new entrants, it is based on these additional investors that want to earn abnormal returns. Those are the very people who lose up the invested money to the people who are at the top of the pyramid. This means that multilevel marketing schemes are not classified as pyramid schemes and are not necessarily fraudulent if a product is being sold at the place.

Direct Selling – India Reports
In India, there was a lot of scope for direct selling by business people. The reason is the fact that India is an immensely populous country. Moreover, here the average age is about 28 years, which is relatively younger than even most of the developed countries. Here we will discuss a report about the Annual Survey of India’s direct selling industry in 2011-12.
“At a time when most businesses faced a downturn, direct selling has recorded a significant increase in gross sales in back-to-back quarters of the current fiscal,” said IDSA chairperson Rini Sanyal
A new report by industry body Indian Direct Sellers Association (IDSA) said the sector saw 53 lakh, new entrants of direct sellers and consumers, in the first six months of the present financial year. Let us discuss some statistics for the Indian Direct selling, it is here to be noted that these reports are from the latest published survey of yr 18-19.
The Indian Direct Selling Industry stood at around INR 1,30,800 million in 2018-19 growing at approximately 13% from INR 1,16,700 million in 2017-18. The industry showed a Compounded Annual Growth Rate of approximately 16% growing from INR 83,085 million in 2015-16 to INR 1,30,800 million in 2018-19. Amway continues to be the leading Direct Selling organisation with global revenue of USD 8.8 billion in 2018. Avon Products IncHerbalife, Infinitus and Vorwerk along with Amway comprise the top 5 Direct Selling organisations in 2018 based on their global revenue.
The straight-line graph is simply the CAGR that the India Direct Selling Industry provided in the following years. CAGR here means compound annual growth rate, The Indian direct selling industry produced a cagr returns of about 16 percent. 16 percent is even greater than what most equities offer (About 12-14 percent is given by equities). This growth even surpasses the equities market in India. We can see why this is a growing investment area for investors.
The total sales of the Direct Selling Industry in India grew to INR 1,30,800 million (INR 13,080 crores) in 2018-19 from INR 1,16,700 million (INR 11,670 crores) in 2017-18 registering a ~13% year-on-year growth in the sales. The Direct Selling Industry showed a CAGR of ~16% from 2015-16 to 2018- 19. These figures include the sales of 21 members of the Indian Direct Selling Association (IDSA) and the non-member Direct Selling entities.
The share of IDSA members in the total sales of the Direct Selling Industry in India stands at approximately 60% as compared to the 40% share of non-members in 2018-19. Wellness products (which include products such as weight management supplements, meal replacement bars & drinks etc.) contribute more than half of the Indian Direct Selling Sales by IDSA members.
This is followed by cosmetics and personal care (which include products such as cosmetics, skincare, fragrances etc.) which contributes more than one-fourth of the sales by IDSA members during 2018-19. The Indian Direct Selling Industry’s contribution to the exchequer stood at around INR 2,500 crores in 2018-19. The number of active direct sellers (i.e. those who have ordered at least once in the last 3 months) in the country was around 5.7 million growing at ~6% from 5.4 million in 2017-18.
We can see that wellness products are the most used and directly sold products. However, the government did something related to this big industry in India.
The Government of India has banned companies from pyramid and money circulation schemes. The government brought out new rules and regulations for such a type of business marketing model, these are strict and needed to be followed. It is forecasted that these new rules will separate some entities, like that of Amway, Tupperware and Oriflame from operators that are likely to be called Ponzi in nature and feature.
According to the new rules, Direct sellers must have at least one physical location as their registered office within the country. They moreover, have to make a public declaration that they are not involved in any pyramid scheme or any sort of money circulation scheme as per the Consumer Protection (Direct selling) Rules 2021, notified by the Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution.
The first noted pyramid scheme was coaxed by Charles Ponzi (Italian-American) in 1919. He founded the Securities Exchange Company that year with the promise to investors of doubling their money in about 90 days. As this scheme continued to attract new puppets, he used that money to pay the earliest investors to double their investment. As the company came to light, Ponzi was bringing in $1 million a week.
Direct Selling Rules and Guidelines 2021
The Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution, and the Department of Consumer Affairs have made strict and clear rules for direct selling, Multi-level marketing and pyramid schemes in India.
They have struck guidelines that have to be followed by every company that tries to include direct selling as a mode of their product distribution. Here in the article, we will get to know what are these rules and guidelines that companies have to follow in order to directly sell their products,
These guidelines may be called the Direct Selling Guidelines 2021. These are issued as guiding principles for State Governments to consider regulating the business of Direct Selling and Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) and strengthen the existing regulatory mechanism on Direct Selling and MLM, for preventing fraud and protecting the legitimate rights and interests of consumers.

Pratyusha Srivastava
Conclusion
It is quite clear and evident till now that pyramid schemes are illegal and they are banned specifically in ‘clause 8’ of the Direct Selling Guidelines 2016 and then in the updated versions of the Direct selling guidelines 2021. We can clearly see that our ministry of consumer affairs has clearly shut the case for “Multi-level marketing” and any sort of money circulation schemes.
The reason behind this is that these schemes are based on hopes of supernatural profits. In real life, there is nothing as easy as money. Innocent people who volunteer who fall for these types of schemes are misguided into investing their hard-earned money and they lose even that. It is to be noted that the latest guidelines (for direct sellers) were released on the 28th of December 2021, this article is based on those press releases.
Watching all the issues that ‘Pyramid schemes’ brings to the table, it has been banned and prohibited by the law. But we all know that clever people always find loopholes and then continue to run these schemes of direct selling and money circulation.
Most of these clever executives follow a pyramid scheme in the name of “Selling a product”, which is just a mask to protect the real predator. The products are super cheap and are of no use, these products are just used to legalise the otherwise illegal business of pyramid schemes. It is a loophole and we alert our readers not to fall for these “Get rich quick” schemes.

MyDentalPlan’s CEO on Need To Revive Dental Care Industry in India
This article is contributed by Mr. Harminder Singh Multani, CEO of MyDentalPlan Healthcare Pvt. Ltd.
The dental care industry is in an abysmal state! According to the Indian Dental Association, only 2% to 3% of the Indian population visits the dentist on a regular basis, and further adding to the jarring reality, only 50% use toothbrushes and toothpaste for regular oral routine. Conversely, there are about 2 Lakh registered dental graduates in the country with 95,000+ actively practicing dentistry. Annually, the tally rises in this ever-growing sector with approximately 12,000 – 15,000 new practices starting.
As per the surveys carried out, more than 70% of the Indian population suffers from some or the other oral problems that need attention and these are problems that will not self-heal themselves. More than 50% of children suffer from dental caries in India, about 40 – 45% go for Root Canal Treatment. Additionally, more than 65% of all dental procedures are carried out around Root Canal Treatment – which points to utter neglect, such that a small cavity was allowed to develop into a Root Canal Treatment.
A developing nation with 138 Crore people can’t afford to have such a poor state of oral wellness. There is a need to spread more awareness about the importance of oral health and encourage people to seek help when they need it.
Why India’s population suffers from dental complications?
All these problems stem from ignorance. People in India have a tendency to ignore the significance of preventive oral care and of course treatment of minor dental issues in a timely manner. The majority of people avoid or delay taking assistance for dental problems from the fear of exorbitant fees charged at the dental clinics. ‘It will go away on its own this approach may work when one has a fever, cough, or cold because in most cases even if one does nothing about it, it will probably go away. However, a toothache or a gum problem is different. Early signs of any dental trouble must be tended to earliest, else it will only return as a bigger problem.
To summarise, about 99% Indian dental market is private with no motivation or check to keep the quality of dental services, the skill set of the professionals, and their work ethics at the highest standard. There is a need for transparency and standardization not just to monitor the health care service providers and practices but to also maintain demanded costs at the said clinics.
Aniket Mandal
Need For Transparency & Standardisation
Transparency and standardization in healthcare will allow the patients to get a genuine estimate of the cost and legitimacy of the practicing clinics. A few clinics may offer lower prices to cut corners on hygiene practices that can cost a lot more in the long run. Additionally, standardization reflects the quality of the clinic and the skill levels of the clinician.
It enables predictability in the pricing and offering of bundled healthcare services and provides a structural method that saves time and makes it easy to decimate thoughtful ideas thus bringing innovation. Standardization has the potential to drive dental insurance, which is missing from the Indian health insurance landscape thus adding a larger customer base. In India, there is no provision to have dental health included in the medical insurance, unless it is an accidental case.
General oral health will positively improve with more people coming in for preventive care, which could improve significantly if there is insurance available for it. It is evident that help with finances will kill the postponement of those urgent treatments that are required today. A stitch in time saves nine.

Technological Advancements That Will Further the Cause
- Tele-dentistry – Tele-dentistry is handy to offer dental service remotely via the internet to those who do not have access to quality dentists. It certainly is very useful for people living in rural or rough terrain areas where dental offices cannot be found easily. It allows the dentists to record the complaint, capture images (if and when required), and send information to their colleagues for gathering opinions. Consultation is through video chatting and, if a dentist finds a problem, they can advise a visit to a local dentist for further assessment
- Intra-Oral Camera – Many dental patients have a complaint that sitting in the dentist’s chair with their mouths open for a long time is uncomfortable. For this, Intra-Oral camera technology is helpful. It allows the dentist to use the dental mirror along with the camera to look inside the patients’ mouths, which eventually reduces the discomfort. The images are seen on the camera’s screen.
- Artificial Intelligence – Artificial intelligence technology has become essential to nearly every industry. Even the dental industry is using it in a transformative way. Researchers are looking into ways to utilize AI for diagnosing dental problems through reading scans and X-rays. It is expected that AI will help in saving money and time for both the medical professionals and patients in going through dental records. It will also aid in a more careful and competent diagnosis of dental problems because of the reason that it could predict unknown and unseen issues.
Technology has been significantly adopted in the dentistry industry to help improve the quality of care. The better the technology, the easier the services can become.

The pandemic started to spread across the world’s boundaries in about march of 2020. It soon accelerated lockdowns all over the world. Major and minor, both types of cities came to a standstill. Not only this, people were confined to their homes. We spent an enormous amount of time inside our houses.
Nothing stopped the pandemic too, thanks to technology. Essentials, medicines and other things were shared and delivered with the help of technology. With these advancements, technology came to us as a saviour. The only thing that jumped to the back seat was health. The health of people all over the world took a toll because of excessive screen time and the sedentary lifestyle we all were having during the covid 19. The virus is still not gone and the sedentary lifestyle still continues.
If you look at the data of shipments of the wearable industry in India, you will notice a steep trend. That graph shows that people are buying products that help them track their health statistics.

However, it is an Indian company, it is headquartered in California. This fitness technology company offers a band of services and products that cover overall aspects of health for a person.

About Vishal Gondal – CEO at GOQii
Vishal Gondal is a serious serial entrepreneur. We mean it seriously when we say, serious serial entrepreneur. Vishal started coding at the age of 16. He was passionate about gaming and soon started to build games of his own. At that age when a person knows how to code, the only favourable thing he/she codes are games. Those were the early days of the Internet and computers per se.
It was later in the year 1998 when something really interesting happened for Vishal. It was the time of Kargil and he out of curiosity made a game named “I love India”, and the main purpose of the game was to shoot intruders in the Indian boundary. The game was an instant hit and got over a lakh download at that time,
In 1998. That was impressive at the time as it is today. Then he got an idea that games that are India made and a little patriotic thematic in nature will go a long way if produced nicely. That was the time when IndiaGames, a venture came into existence. It was the brainchild of Vishal Gondal. Then he worked with venture capitalists and all, took the company from informally a game maker to a big name in the gaming industry. In 2011 Disney bought IndiaGames at a deal of over 100 million dollars.
That is a lot of money. Most people would take that money and go on a vacation of life. That “most people ” are not Vishal Gondal. Vishal chose to not get stagnant or dormant, he chose to flow in the direction of his passion. His passion other than games is easily guessable, It is fitness and health.
Vishal moved to the health and fitness sector to work his ideas out. He was also into fitness as all those previous years had a toll on his health because he was working on computers a lot. He affected millions with his games (in a good and thrilling way) and now he did not choose to stay put, but he chose to provide value to the next billion people.
He enjoys running Marathons, Ultras, Trekking & SkyDiving. His love for the outdoors and pushing oneself physically dates to his growing years when he was a national level volleyball player. Vishal is also a long time TEDster, gadget & gizmo freak and a judge on two television shows ‘The Pitch’ on Bloomberg TV & ‘Your Wish is my App’ on NDTV.
His passion for technology, fitness & gaming led him to his next venture GOQii which is focused on helping people make a change towards a healthier lifestyle and be the force of good.
That is why he chose health as the domain for his next venture. He decided to jump on the health sector and that was how GOQii was born, the ultimate health and fitness ecosystem.
How was the Idea of GOQii Conceived?
The company was founded by a smart person named Vishal Gondal. He is a super tech enthusiast. He is also the former Chief executive officer of Indiagames. He is a big name in the gaming industry. Made some really successful and critically acclaimed games in the 90s and then the most recent hit FAU-G.
After exiting the gaming space, with a great dreamy exit from his own Indiagames when it was bought by Disney, he could have enjoyed life anyhow he wanted but he noticed something. He noticed that after all his star career in the gaming space, his health has taken a toll on him. Albeit, He was a fairly sporty person in his college and school time. His love for the outdoors and pushing oneself physically dates to his growing years when he was a national level volleyball player.
After affecting millions of people with his games in a good and thrilling way, he chose the health sector. When asked why he started working again, he said that he is just a passionate person who is trying to follow his passion of creating value and putting an effect on a billion people.
His goal is to see people healthy and happy. He plans to make not only people in India healthy but also plans to expand GOQii to a place that will make it responsible for health and fitness for many areas in the world.
As it is said that software is the most scalable thing in the whole world. Once the worth is proven by GOQii, its software can go overseas and start creating impact there too as it is doing in India. For its future, GOQii plans to expand its services to the Middle East, the United States, and Singapore.

He even says that these wearables will soon replace mobile phones in the near future.

- GOQii has a full-fledged health-friendly ecosystem.
- Personalised health statistics with health experts.
- The corporate challenge and User testimonials.
All these are the most loved unique prepositions that people love. Let us discuss all of them in a little more detail to understand the market in which they operate.
The GOQii Ecosystem
We, in the last paragraph’s last line, mentioned an ecosystem of health. That ecosystem is known as the GOQii fitness ecosystem. As we previously read that GOQii manufactures watches and bands and other wearables to provide you control of your health.
Not only this, but the fitness company also provides all sorts of help from, weather coaches or experts or doctors and nutrition people. That personal coaching aspect of GOQii is the innovation that acts as a USP or a unique selling proposition.
The ecosystem entails the application which is connected to the smart wearable device that you wear. The tracker is connected and reports all data to coaches, doctors, and experts if you have the subscription. Every Health coach is a certified coach under the company GOQii.
This environment that they have managed to create is called the GOQii ecosystem. It is a full-fledged place for all your health needs, that is what the company strives to offer. It strives to combine a smart fitness band, an app, a team that is expert and has cared for your health. That team includes a personal health coach, all sorts of designated experts and a Doctor for helping you out to meet the targets that you set for yourself and for the people you love.
GOQii also plans partnerships with top labs in the domain of diagnostics. It helps you to get recommendations for tests that might help you on the basis of the targets that you need to tough. You can do some of the reports from the comfort of your home and you can then access the reports directly on the app.
The GOQii ecosystem is designed to keep chronic diseases under control through increased adherence to therapy, lifestyle change and continuous data monitoring. Doctors are adopting this ecosystem for managing chronic diseases of their patients and are seeing great results. It has an app locker that they call a health locker. It is a cloud storage tool. That helps people to save their health records.
That cloud has unlimited space so that you don’t have to worry about losing your health records. That locker is accessible and can be accessed even remotely via a login and pass. GOQii has tied up with diagnostics labs like Thyrocare, which allow users to book tests directly via the GOQii app. Test results are directly sent to the Health Locker to be reviewed by the GOQii Coach and GOQii Doctor.
There is one more thing that you get with the GOQii ecosystem. It has a bonus feature called “Karma”. It is quite similar to the real phenomenon of karma. If you do something good, you will receive something good.
With the ‘Karma’ feature GOQii plans to use the same philosophy for a good social cause. So what happens is, if you walk with this feature, you get points, the more you collect points, the more you can donate to social causes that the company supports. It matches the philosophy of the whole wearable brand of “Be the force”.
Personalised care with health experts
GOQii runs on two models, that too simultaneously. It has the main product domain, which is the smart wearable technology that it advertises with Akshay Kumar. The other domain is the personalised health coaches support. This is the back end sort of thing and you can only experience it with a subscription that you can buy with the product itself.
Both these packages combined help in building a rapport with your own health. The best thing about the combination of health and technology is that it is capable of providing personalised results and guides and suggestions to the person using it.
As we all know, people love personalised tech. Like we love Netflix recommendations, and the social media algorithms to work on personalised tech. This is very recently made possible with the help of new and efficient technology for maintaining data, big data. It is a field that deals with extracting data and making sense of large amounts of data. It is true that data is the gold of the 21st century.
GOQii Corporate Challenge
One of the most stuck starts of people who are not living a healthy lifestyle at all is the corporate people. The pressure to rise up at the corporate level makes them sit for long hours and thus deteriorates the health of these hard-working people. We can easily see and witness all around us that corporate people are the most prone to health discomforts.
GOQii has innovated a cool thought in this area of life. The fitness company organises a corporate challenge every now and then. The corporate challenge is a sixty-day fitness event. So, it spans about two months in total. This corporate challenge includes daily virtual and fitness sessions that are corporate-friendly.
Corporate friendly exercises means those sorts of exercises that can be performed in a short space and with low intensity of work done or effort induced. This allows all the employees to walk, get active, increase their fitness levels and make a positive move towards living a healthier lifestyle. Moreover, it is all in the app, a single application that entails everything for your health.
GOQii Health quiz
Not only the corporate challenge, but GOQii also has hosted a series of health quizzes in the past. The motive of these quizzes was to improve the general knowledge about health. It is often seen in our society that we tend to believe some myths and misconceptions of the fitness world.
The goal of these health-related challenges and quizzes is to bust the myth around health and common fitness in society. Moreover, GOQii has taken a step further than just casual challenges and quizzes of stagnant general knowledge, it now hosts experts that debunk myths around health.
If you visit their youtube page, you will find a plethora and plenty of videos that are hosted by health experts, personal health coaches, doctors and nutritionists. This sort of clear and unbiased knowledge is freely available, this is a great initiative by Vishal and the team at GOQii. It helps build a rapport with users who are truly willing to do the actions required to meet their health and fitness goals.
GOQii Arena
The GOQii social feature lets you discover and make new friends, share your habits, goals, health & fitness stories, as well as motivate each other! It helps you build communities of like-minded individuals who share similar goals with GOQii users within the app in your region.
GOQii Health store
The GOQii Health store is a one-stop online health store that offers a whole suite of curated health products and services. These products are tested for quality by our experts before being launched in the store. You can also redeem your GOQii Cash for discounts on listed products.

User Testimonials (What the users are saying about GOQii)
The GOQii watches went on from a beta version to a full-fledged company in April 2014. It is still somewhere in the middle phases of growth in India. As we all know that India is a very big country and global brands are fighting very hard to establish themselves in our country.
GOQii is one of the native brands that is trying hard to speak up among such massive competition from global brands. One of the best ways to look at the quality that the brand creates is by checking its testimonials. Let us see what people are saying about the GOQii ecosystem.
“Rahul Pandit gets off medication and gets healthier with GOQii” read an article on a website. This is an article that was listed on the blog that the GOQii team manages. The blog has all the success stories of fat to fit and healthy and happy people who have used the product and the support of coaches from GOQii.

This is a user testimonial that typed words on Youtube. He is thankful for how he found GOQii and how it has become a part of his life. This is one example but there are plenty more. GOQii has many people supporting it and making it an established brand.
Akshay Kumar, the actor and probable epitome of fitness in India is the brand ambassador of this company. As it gets more and more views and subscriptions, one thing is sure, that if GOQii is able to stand the market in India, then probably it can win most of the world.
Conclusion
Being healthy involves a lot of factors other than just exercise. You need to watch what you eat, get quality sleep and manage stress effectively as well. With a lot of foreign brands trying to provide value in this space, there are very few Indian brands that are trying to enter and establish themselves in this market.
GOQii is one of them. It strives to provide a full ecosystem for health and fitness. It has personalised coaches, health experts and all sorts of advantages that the wearable tech industry has to offer.
GOQii was started with the same goal in mind. That goal was to make a billion people happy and healthy. The focus is primarily on India. GOQii, a collaboration of some of the world’s leading experts and an amazing management team who are driven by a passion for healthy sustainable living, and who believe that all of us contain boundless potential.
GOQii’s goal is to enable millions of people across the world to “be the force” by helping them unleash their untapped potential. The passion with which Vishal and team manage and build products for India, Is the fuel for such ventures. All these steps will lead to a healthy and happy India.

Collegedunia – Startup Story
Sahil Chalana, a BITS Pilani alumnus, created Collegedunia.com. The firm started operating as a specialized firm in 2014. According to him, there is a significant disparity between the facts and the accuracy of services that students search for during the pre-admission period.
As a result, he came into the concept of Collegedunia.com and assembled a group of young and ambitious people. It’s a community of over 250 young folks, with an approximate age of 25, who wish to bring value to society.
Limited knowledge can be harmful to the profession and college choices, which is where it will help. Its vast alumni network assists in providing relevant information to learners.
The amount of material on the site is fairly comprehensive. You’ll find everything here, from renowned majors like medicine and law to practical and overseas study data.
The goal of providing learners with the information they need to make better decisions about their job and alma mater set the ground for its creation. Both for guardians and learners, it serves as an effective collection of college/university data as well as professional material such as tests. Learners might look for institutions based on what alumni have said about them.
Since the beginning, it has assisted thousands of kids across India (and beyond) in making informed selections about their careers and educational institutions. It has evolved from a handful of institutes and programs to be the nation’s market leader. Currently, the platform is the nation’s top institution rating site.
Collegedunia – Business Model
The entire basis of their revenue is paid advertising, which allows universities to promote themselves on the site, boosting the exposure of their listings across the web.
Other than that, they use a Cost Per Lead (CPL) approach. They provide student data with the institution and earn money based on CPL. Learners can also enrol in those institutes, and they will obtain a CPL from the university officials for each admission to that campus.
