What Is An Association
     Historically, the birth of associations came about due to a variety of issues, needs and challenges facing professions, businesses and industries. Currently, the country has about 30 lakh sales people, of which 12 lakh are active Networkers, who sell products through direct selling at least once a month, a report by our correspondents.

These encompassed such topics as legal, legislative, educational, information, finance, data, regulatory, technology, marketing, advertising, products, credibility, ethics, industry standards, professionalism, certification and much more. It was realized that these matters could only be addressed if individuals or companies from the same profession or industry come together and worked together for the good of their profession. In other words, competitors joined forces to accomplish things that were impossible to accomplish individually.

     Another underlying reason leading to the proliferation of associations was the need to socialize and share information by sharing with other individuals and companies. With several multi-level-marketing companies brought under the scanner of the police, the Direct Selling Industry today demanded that the government define the industry and bring a law to regulate the growing sector.

For the handful that were initially concerned that meeting with competitors was inherently unhealthy or that they could not learn anything, this notion rapidly dissipated as association members began to grow personally, professionally and financially. Today an association represents literally every business, profession and industry in the India.
