ABSTRACT Geographical Indications (GIs) play a vital role in driving India’s economic growth, supporting rural livelihoods, and preserving cultural heritage. By granting legal protection and market exclusivity, GIs empower artisans and farmers to secure fair pricing and sustainable income streams. Moreover, GI certification enhances consumer trust and brand recognition, strengthening the global competitiveness of Indian products. Enhancing GI regulations and integrating technology can further elevate India’s GI ecosystem, maximizing its impact on economic sustainability, global trade, and cultural preservation.Despite these advantages, challenges such as weak enforcement, inadequate post-production monitoring, and the absence of global standardization hinder the full realization of GI potential.
