GeraPersona in India 2026 — Character Marketplace for Indian Creators
Published 21 April 2026 · 8 min read · en-IN
GeraPersona is a marketplace where Indian creators license AI personas — fictional characters, historical figures (public-domain), and commissioned branded personas — with clear authorship, royalty splits, and DPDP-aligned safeguards.
GeraPersona and the Indian regulatory picture
Marketplace character products touch Copyright Act 1957 (moral rights and authorship), Trade Marks Act 1999 (for branded personas), personality-rights case law, the Intermediary Guidelines 2021 (as the marketplace), the DPDP Act 2023, and GST (marketplace TCS). Historical public-domain figures are treated with special care to avoid misinformation.
