Every year, thousands of people start their own Amway business. And when they do, they find a global network of people to learn from and lean on. That’s what the Amway business is all about. It’s about people who want to help others succeed. It’s what differentiates us from any other business. Many of you are building businesses and helping others do the same. You’re reaching goals you never thought possible. We know what it takes to reach new levels. From the first product you sold, to the first pin you received, to the accomplishments you have made today, we proudly recognize your hard work and commitment to this business. Thank you for all that you do and continue to do to make Amway great.

PLAIN SPEAK SINGLE DISTRIBUTORSHIP A focussed, single minded effort in developing your ‘one and only’ Amway Distributorship…. It is our endeavour to educate you on the rationale behind the Rules so as to empower you with appropriate Business Ethics and Practices. This, in turn, will help you to personally evolve as a successful Amway Business Owner and a strong leader, in the long run. It is our constant effort to impart knowledge of the Rules so you could conduct your Amway business in the right manner. Our ‘Plain Speak’ column is a stepping stone, in this direction. Some important Rules that will help you to understand about this significant Rule are:
Section 6.8 An individual can become an Amway Business Owner only under a single Distributorship. No ABO is allowed, under the Rules to own or have an ownership interest in more than one Distributorship.* As an ABO, you need to channalise your energy and efforts in constantly working towards building your business group with single-minded devotion. Any distraction , by way of an ownership interest in an alternate Distributorship, would be adverse to your business interests. We receive many cases where ABOs have taken a second Distributorship for various reasons like ignorance, lack of support from sponsors, acquaintances in the new group etc. However this is not permissible under the Rules. Any ABO who wishes to change their Line of Sponsorship must write to Amway India with the request. Changes in Line of Sponsorship are not encouraged, as preserving the original Lines of Sponsorship is essentially the most important component of the Sales & Marketing Plan. Any transfer, therefore, would involve many ‘no objections’ from various uplines. ABOs who are not able to secure a ‘no objection’ or release from their uplines must resign their business and undergo appropriate inactivity period (6 months or 2 years) before applying for a new Distributorship. An ABO who resigns the present business with a view to re-join after the period of inactivity cannot : Purchase, sell Amway products; Present the Sales and Marketing Plan; Attend any System or Amway meetings or be a part of another Distributorship in name of family members, in the interim period.
Section 3.17 In cases where both Husband and Wife wish to join as ABOs, they should be sponsored together, as an Applicant and co-applicant, in a single Distributorship. Amway will recognise both spouses as partners of the Distributorship irrespective of whether both the names are registered on the Distributorship ‘Partners in life, Partners in Amway’.
Section 3.16 As a confirmation to the single Distributorship rule, all invitations to various events organised by Amway are extended only to two individuals per Amway business. ABOs, who register their Amway businesses as a Sole proprietary concern, Partnership firm, Limited Liability Company or Trust need to identify the two individuals who would be eligible for receiving such invitations. This is required to be done at the time of submitting the Application form for the Partnership, Corporation, Trust or Limited Liability Company. * There are certain exceptions to this Rule, details of which are available in the Rules of Conduct.
For any clarifications or questions, please refer to the Code of Ethics in the Business Starter guide or write to Ms. Archna Reuben at Amway India Enterprises Pvt. Ltd., Plot No 84, Sector -32, Gurgaon - 122001, Haryana OR Email :

AOF gave me a chance to pursue my dream
I was born blind by birth in a nondescript village namely Sualkuchi in Assam. But I did not let my visual handicap come in the way of my study. As a student of Guwahati Blind High School, I studied with the help of Braille system up to class five and I pursued my higher education through audio system as there was a dearth of Braille Books in Assam. I came out with flying colours with 75% marks in High School. Thereafter, I secured BA degree in History Hons from Cotton College. My tryst with computer education took place at the IIT Guwahati where I received computer education through the software called Chaksu developed by IIT especially for the visually challenged. After that I decided to pursue my career as a computer teacher for visually challenged students in Assam with an aim to help my brethren. The turning point in my life was a call from Amway Opportunity Foundation in 2011 for an interview for the position of Computer Instructor at Guwahati Blind School Computer Centre supported by Amway Opportunity Foundation. It was a great experience securing the said position after competing with normal sighted candidates. At present I am working as Assistant Teacher at Beliram LPS, Govt School for normal sighted students. I am also the proud recipient of The AOF Young Achievers award which has kept my morale high. I would like to continue working for the upliftment of visually challenged students in Assam and Northeast and Amway Opportunity Foundation is the source of my inspiration for it.

rehabilitates 36 families affected
during uttarkashi flood
Amway Opportunity Foundation formally handed over shelters to 36 families affected during the 2013 Uttarkashi floods. The program was jointly inaugurated by Mr. Hari Giri, Dy. Collector, Uttarkashi District and Mr. G.S. Cheema, Regional Manager North, Amway India, in the presence of ABO leaders. The flash floods triggered by very heavy rainfall and cloudburst in Uttarakhand left a trail of devastation. The deluge led to loss of thousands of life, washed away roads, bridges and other infrastructure. Along with grass root level NGO (JADDI), Amway Opportunity Foundation decided to rehabilitate disaster affected families of Bhatwari Block and Dunda Block in the Uttarkashi district by building 36 houses. Amway Opportunity Foundation committed a sum of Rs. 50 lakhs towards building mid-term shelters for the affected families. All the 36 houses have been handed over to the recipients who belong to economically disadvantaged section of the society. JADDI utilized local manpower and resources to construct these houses, which also provided livelihood opportunities to native residents. The houses built under the project are earthquake resistant, portable in nature and can comfortably accommodate upto 10 people. Each house consists of one big room, a kitchen and a toilet. We would like to thank each and every Amway associate for their contribution to make this project a success.
