We have identified Amway Queen as our first durable to be launched in the Indian market because the research indicated that there is a latent demand for premium cookware which enables low oil, low water cooking while ensuring taste. We look upon Amway Queen as a key growth driver as it fits well with our direct selling model where the sale happens through the power of demonstration. Our target is to ensure that durables as a category contributes more than 10% of our turnover in the next 3 years.
Sundip Shah, Chief Marketing Officer, Amway India, said, “Amway Queen is unique as it allows healthy cooking of delicious dishes with almost no oil and less water. Our strategy is driven by impactful cooking demonstrations to bring this benefit to life for our direct sellers and consumers. We are equipping our direct sellers with appropriate tools and demos so that they can showcase the efficacy of the Amway Queen to a prospective customer. Besides massive focus on cooking demo sessions, we have also launched a series of online videos demonstrating how one can use Amway Queen Cookware to cook delicious Indian dishes in a healthy way (like ‘Dal Makhani’ without ‘Butter’)”
