Sustainable development means fulfilling present needs without compromising future generations' ability to meet theirs. The United Nations' Sustainable Development Goal 8 emphasizes decent work and economic growth. Among various methods to achieve this, direct selling contributes positively through job creation, entrepreneurship, skill development, social responsibility, and sustainable growth. This study examines the performance of direct selling in India compared to the global level using secondary data from WFDSA and IDSA reports. Analytical tools like percentages, CAGR, and AAGR are used. The Indian direct selling industry grew by around 12 percent, with a gross turnover of Rs.2,12,820 million in 2022-23. India ranked 11th globally, contributing to the total global turnover of $167,694 million. Worldwide, 102.9 million people are engaged in direct selling. In India, out of 8.62 million direct sellers, 3.19 million are women. Globally, 71% of direct sellers are women, although male participation is steadily increasing.
