What rules do marketersin India work under?
These guides explain the rules that touch marketing in India, such as ad codes, data law, listed company disclosures and claims on labels. Each one is built from the official text, names the section and the date we read it, and ends with a checklist.
They are information, not legal advice.
We are marketers, not lawyers. We read the official page, say what it says in simple words, and say what it does not cover. Rules change, so every guide shows the date we read it. Please check the official page again before you act.
For your own case, ask your lawyer or company secretary. These guides are general information drawn from the official sources linked on each page, checked on the date shown. They are not legal advice. A guide shows a "Reviewed by" line only after a named person has read it.

“Hi, my name is Hitesh Malhotra. I'm working in FIVB. We are working with PromoteEdge (with Team Sayantan). I would like to give you a brief detail. So when we started this project, we had a good discussion with them. And personally, I feel PromotEdge is kind of a one stop solution for us. So basically, they provided us the whole storyboarding regarding the digital assets and how we can use those with our ambassadors programme. They helped us a lot to structurize the whole concept from our side. So in fact, there were a lot of great ideas they provided, guiding us...what we should do and what we should not do in this regard. And the best part was that they were very clear from there, from the whole blueprint. So they understood our request from the proposal and then accordingly they executed it.”
