• Enhanced Brand Profile placement for Indian advertisers.

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any feature with reasonable notice.

You must be at least 18 years of age to create an account or pay for a plan. You represent that you have legal capacity to enter a binding agreement, all information you provide is accurate, and your use complies with applicable Indian law.

• — Not share credentials with any third party.
• — Not create multiple accounts to circumvent plan limits.

We may suspend or terminate accounts found to violate these Terms.

We strive for accuracy and source-link every brand profile. However:

• — Ownership structures change; data may not reflect the latest changes.
• — Ownership scores are informational estimates, not investment or legal advice.
• — Classifications do not constitute official government determinations.

Submit corrections via our corrections form. Accepted changes are logged publicly in the ownership change log.

You receive a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence for personal, non-commercial use only. Brand logos are used for identification and remain the property of their respective owners.

Advertisers additionally agree that:

• — Enhanced Brand Profiles are available only to verifiably Indian-controlled brands with an accurate Platform profile.

• — We may remove or suspend profiles containing inaccurate, misleading, or guideline-violating content without refund.

THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE PLATFORM WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, SWITCH TO INDIA IS NOT LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE PLATFORM. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF: (A) THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID BY YOU IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR (B) ₹1,000. NOTHING HEREIN LIMITS LIABILITY FOR FRAUD OR FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY CAUSED BY NEGLIGENCE.

These Terms are governed by the laws of India, including the Information Technology Act 2000, the Indian Contract Act 1872, and the Consumer Protection Act 2019. Disputes are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of competent courts in India. We will endeavour to resolve disputes amicably in the first instance.

The effective date at the top of this page will reflect the latest version. Continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
