India Founders Program

Go all in on Nu Skin India! The India Founders Program is intended to promote long-term, sustainable growth through sales to consumers. This program outlines how Brand Affiliates in authorized markets, excluding Mainland China, can prepare for the opening of the India market by becoming India Founders. Nu Skin’s India market is not launched and no premarketing activities may occur in this market. Any business activities within India, including virtual, are strictly prohibited.
