Our History
“V-Team”, later to be known as “The V”, was formed. Seeing how the economic crisis was causing unemployment everywhere, this group of Network Marketing professionals realised that it was the perfect opportunity to introduce people to an unorthodox way of earning a living. What they had to offer was a business that virtually contradicted every existing rule but promised unimaginable financial and emotional rewards to anyone who had what it took to succeed.

It was in the month of March when the Malaysian office was opened.
We saw the birth of the V’s biggest and most anticipated event: The V-Convention, or V-Con. The V-Con is the flagship event of The V – the biggest event organized by experienced Business Leaders and Global Entrepreneurs. From less than a hundred participants in the initial event in Bali, Indonesia, today’s V-Cons are attended by more than fifteen thousand participants representing as much as 80 countries around the world.
expansions took place in nearly every aspect of the company. After QNET partnered with the German minting company, B.H. Mayer, the company went on to forge strong relationships with several prestigious personalities and organizations, from which was born an extensive line of gold collectible medallions, known as the JR Mayer Collection, which played a key role in bringing prestige to the company.
The company saw the opportunity to host Euro V-Con Greece in 2004. On this year, The V held its first V-Con in Europe at the Rodos Palace Hotel in the island of Rhodes, Greece. From June 6 to 9, 200 participants gathered to open a new network in Europe.Greece was the perfect location for the first ever V-Con in Europe, as it enticed participants and aspiring networkers from Asia, Africa, and Europe to take part in the training sessions offered during the four days. “The Essence of Unity” was the theme of the convention.
Since The V believed in starting them young, a special event catering to our leaders’ young children kicked off at V-Thailand. The event now known as V-Kids started with a small group of children handled by spouses of our V-Partners and other V-Ambassadors.
Two years after their first European V-Con, The V embarked in an intensive expansion program designed especially for the European market. Euro-VCon Madrid also served to celebrate two other milestones in the company’s history: (1) the 8th anniversary of the founding of the Qi Group of Companies; and (2) Qi’s title sponsorship of the 2006 International Badminton Federation (IBF) World Championships—which served as a firm statement of the company’s credibility, prestige and stability. It was also in 2006 when the most successful men and women in The V had joined forces to form a powerhouse team of professional business trainers and motivational speakers, which was composed of V-Partners, Associate V-Partners and V-Council members. All together, they are called The V-Ambassadors. From “V-Team”, we have evolved to be called “The V”. 2006 was also the year when another subsidiary of Qi opened its doors, the Vijayaratnam Foundation. The birth of the Foundation was a moment of overwhelming joy; it was an opportunity to live V-Founder Dato’ Sri Vijay Eswaran’s lifelong dream of continuing the philanthropic activities started by his father, Mr Vijayaratnam Saravanamuthu in Malaysia. The values Vijayaratanam Foundation follows are seen in the ways of The V through their participation in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) projects.
A total of 200 leaders showed up for the very first ISB. The CORE InService and the V Ambassadors were part of ISB I which was held at Camp John Hay, Baguio City, Philippines.

By the close of 2007, The V’s corporate presence was firmly established in several countries, including Hong Kong, Thailand, Malaysia and India. Its network included millions of names from nearly every continent around the world.
The company celebrated its 10th anniversary. One of the highlights of V-Con held at the Penang International Sports Arena from the 21st to 25th of May in 2008 was the V-Kids Convention where over 124 children of different ages and nationalities were treated to three days of fun and learning. Aside from the V-Kids Convention, other highlights of the convention included the spectacular Gala and Welcome Night and an exhibit that showcased the whole gamut of products and services from The V and its sister companies.
The V-Ambassadors grew even stronger, with the appointment of more V-Partners, Associate V-Partners and V-Council members. On top of this, a fourth tier of leaders, known as V-Elite Leaders, was formally created, making The V all the more effective in reaching out to its network.
