Industry Overview & Context: Personalisation in India’s Luxury Market

India’s £6.4–7.2 billion luxury goods market, growing at a 10–12% CAGR, spans fashion & apparel, fine jewellery, watches, luxury automobiles, fragrances, gourmet foods, private aviation, and real estate. The value chain includes global houses, authorised distributors, mono-brand and multi-brand retail, e-commerce, stylists, concierges, logistics, and regulators (DGFT, BIS, RBI, Customs). Personalisation drives Luxury GTM by leveraging UHNI/HNWI growth (1,200+ new UHNIs in FY25), Tier-2 urban expansion, digital luxury evolution, and Gen S preferences for bespoke engagement. LawCrust’s expertise helps brands customise Customised marketing, delivering premium experiences to HNWIs in wealth hotspots like Mumbai’s Worli.

1. Key Challenges & Nuances in Personalisation

• Personalisation for HNWIs faces Luxury GTM challenges:

1. Grey Market Competition: Unregulated channels dilute exclusivity, undermining Customised marketing efforts.
2. Complex Regulations: Customs, GST, and hallmarking frameworks complicate personalised premium experiences.
3. Weak Digital Journeys: Inconsistent personalisation across Indian luxury platforms hinders HNWI engagement.
4. Cultural Mismatch: Generic storytelling fails to resonate with HNWIs’ diverse preferences.
5. Data Access: Limited psychographic data restricts effective personalisation for Customised marketing.

2. Strategic Consulting Analysis: Personalisation in Luxury GTM

LawCrust hybrid consulting helps brands embed personalisation in Luxury GTM:

• GTM / Market Entry Strategy

Incubate AI-based stylists, ultra-luxury virtual showroom firms, and lifestyle aggregators. Offer tokenised access to exclusive collections for HNWIs with gated entry, enhancing personalisation in premium campaigns.

• Organisation & Talent Advisory

Train frontline sales and online agents in HNWI behaviour profiling. Incentivise staff on relationship depth to drive Customised marketing. Create Client Intelligence Units to mine insights for personalisation triggers, ensuring premium experiences.

• Legal & Regulatory Strategy

Ensure DPDP Act and GDPR compliance in HNWI profiling for Customised marketing. Advise on loyalty perks taxation, cross-border regulations, and IP protection for personalised assets to safeguard premium experiences.
