Why VDDSM

A large industry with real rules, and almost no entry-level training.

Direct selling in India operates under the Consumer Protection (Direct Selling) Rules 2021. Those rules set out what a legitimate direct selling business may and may not do, and they matter to anyone entering the sector.

VDDSM covers direct selling models and the 2021 regulatory framework, consumer protection obligations, selling technique and communication, customer relationship management, digital and social selling, basic business finance, and ethics and grievance handling.

One year, 36 credits, with practical work and a project. Built for Class 12 pass students and working individuals starting out.

The programme is practical from the start: real selling scenarios, real compliance questions under the 2021 Rules, and structured practice in customer handling and grievance resolution.

Structured delivery fits around work, which matters for students already earning while they study.
