In India, the legal standing of escort services operates in a gray area. While prostitution is not explicitly illegal, engaging in the business in a public place, running brothels, or pimping is punishable. However, many escort agencies operate under the guise of providing "companionship" or "event escorting," intricately toeing the line of legality. With its rapid urbanization and Westernized lifestyle, Gurgaon has seen a significant demand for these services, driven by a mix of domestic and international clients.
