The Ant works hard in the withering heat all summer building its house and laying up supplies for the winter.
The Grasshopper thinks the Ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.
Come winter, the Ant is warm and well fed. The Grasshopper has no food or shelter so he dies out in the cold.

The recent media attack against QNET in India could be likened to the Indian version of the Ant and the Grasshopper fable. India like many other countries does not have a legislation that allows legitimate direct selling companies to thrive and punishes the deceitful pyramid schemes. Because of this, even the most legitimate of businesses can be accused of running a scam. QNET is a case in point.
Direct Selling
Direct selling is a legitimate and lucrative business model that has, over the years, improved the lives of millions all over the world. QNET has a lot of Independent Distributors in India who have earned well from doing the business. And because there is no existing government regulation that fosters the growth of direct selling companies and protects their customers, it’s easy for people of power and even ordinary citizens to accuse these companies of pyramid scheming. The QNET IRs are the Ants that earned well from doing the business in good faith. The accusers and the naysayers are the Grasshoppers that have no understanding of the business but choose to continuously brand QNET as a scam.
