India boasts one of the highest GDPs globally, at ~US$ 3.4T, and consumer spending constitutes around ~60%. Within consumer spending, retail dominates with a share of about ~50%, contributing around ~30% to India's overall GDP.
The Indian retail market is valued at ~US$ 1T, with offline retail comprising the bulk at around 90%. However, as internet penetration increases, online platforms like brand.com and marketplaces are gaining traction, accounting for the remaining 10% of the retail market.

How brand.com is different from the marketplace or offline market:
  • Customer experience: Brand.com offers a personalized & controlled customer experience compared to offline & marketplace channels.
  • Control over branding: Complete control over branding with the opportunity to foster customer loyalty.
  • Supply chain logistics: Improved control over the supply chain compared to marketplace & offline channels, which often rely heavily on intermediaries.
  • Market reach: The advantage of targeting specific geographies, but with initially limited reach.
  • Incurred expenses: Lower overhead costs, yet significant expenditure required for effective performance marketing.
