Unfortunately this will not work in India or globally and you will end up wasting a lot of time dealing with scammers. A better option is to take on a partner that will handle all the marketing on a full time basis. The partner should get a salary or a commission on each sale and equity in the 5 to 25% range. Always best to maintain control over critical functions and marketing is one of them. Best of luck.
