Real Documented Losses
Invested ₹8 lakh across 5 Instagram creators with 2M combined reach
Lead influencer promoted a direct competitor during exclusivity. Another deleted all posts after 5 days.
₹5.2L legal fees + ₹12L reputation damage = ₹17.2L total
✅ Exclusivity alert in 24h
✅ Post deletion alert in 1h
✅ Competitor mention detection
Paid ₹1.4 lakh for a multi-creator campaign
Five days in, the lead creator trended on Twitter for a controversy. Within 6 hours, the brand's comments section was flooded. By evening, the brand had to unpublish all campaign posts and absorb the ₹1.4 lakh loss.
Promoted EthereumMax crypto without disclosing $250K payment
The SEC fined Kardashian $1.26 million for promoting a crypto asset without disclosing the payment. The same legal principle applies in India under ASCI guidelines and CPA 2019 — non-disclosure = regulatory liability.

Your Due Diligence Defense
Under CPA 2019 §2(47), the only legal defense against co-liability is proving active due diligence. PulseROI generates that proof automatically.
56.8% of flagged posts had NO disclosure label at all
PulseROI scans every video description every 6 hours for #ad, #sponsored, 'Paid Partnership', and regional disclosure tags. Missing label = instant critical alert.
43.2% buried disclosures inside hashtags (ineffective per ASCI)
PulseROI verifies disclosure placement is within the first 200 characters — not buried in a hashtag wall. ASCI requires 'upfront and prominent' positioning.
Influencers deleting sponsored posts after payment clears
PulseROI checks video status every 6 hours via YouTube Data API. Deletion, unlisting, or privacy change triggers an instant alert with timestamped proof.
33% of influencer ads promoted products prohibited by law
PulseROI's GARM engine scans across 11 brand safety categories including SEBI financial claims, FSSAI health claims, and prohibited product endorsements.
PulseROI costs ₹1,999–19,999/month. A single ASCI violation costs ₹10–50 lakh. One Bangalore brand lost ₹17.2 lakh on an ₹8 lakh campaign. Monitoring pays for itself the moment it catches one violation.
