NSQF Level 8. 40 credits. Delivered by IFEM as Industrial Academic Training Partners (IATP) with IUN (International University Nagaland), built around the Consumer Protection (Direct Selling) Rules 2021.
Direct selling in India operates under the Consumer Protection (Direct Selling) Rules 2021, which set obligations on companies and sellers alike. Most people working in the sector learned on the job, with no formal grounding in the rules that govern it.
PGVDDSM covers direct selling models and regulation, consumer protection compliance, team building and channel management, sales planning and analytics, digital and social selling, ethics and grievance redressal, and business development.
One year, 40 credits, with a practical component and an industry project. Written for people already building a direct selling career who want a recognised qualification behind it.
The programme is written for people already doing the work. Every module assumes commercial literacy and pushes structured practice: regulatory framing under the 2021 Rules, channel design, performance analytics and ethical grievance handling.
Structured delivery means you complete it around your selling calendar, not against it.
