What is Telemarketer?
A telemarketer, in Indian telecom regulation, is an entity registered with a telecom operator to deliver commercial calls or SMS on behalf of businesses.
Also called: registered telemarketer, RTM, telecaller
Under the TCCCP framework the business is the principal entity and the registered telemarketer is the intermediary that actually sends the traffic, both recorded on the DLT platform. In everyday speech the word also means a telecaller, a person making sales calls. The regulatory meaning matters because unregistered operators using ordinary SIM, SIP or PRI lines for promotional calls are the main target of TRAI enforcement.
A business shares responsibility for traffic sent on its behalf, so hiring an unregistered calling agency or a bulk-SIM operation puts its own brand and numbers at risk. When choosing an outsourced telecalling vendor or an AI calling platform, ask exactly how its calls are registered on DLT and whose header they carry. Outpero calls from a DLT-registered line, so this question has a straightforward answer.
