How RERA actually behaves in jewelry d2c
RERA fundamentally changed Indian real estate marketing. Pre-RERA (before 2017), developers commonly over-promised on amenities, timelines, square footage. Post-RERA, every ad requires registration number, carpet-area disclosure (not super-built-up), and accurate timeline commitments. Penalty: 10% of project cost or imprisonment up to 3 years for misleading ads. Per-state RERA authority handles disputes; Maharashtra (MahaRERA) is most active.
For jewelry d2c specifically, RERA is influenced most by these 5 primary channels — each shifts the metric in a different way: Meta Ads (facebook + instagram + whatsapp — built for d2c, real-estate, and lead-gen.); Google Ads (search, shopping, youtube, and performance max — engineered for indian unit econ); WhatsApp Marketing (click-to-whatsapp + automation — the channel indian buyers actually answer.); SEO Services (compounding organic growth — pillar/cluster, programmatic, and ai-engine-cited.).
