E-commerce & D2C Digital Marketing in India.

India D2C is on track to cross $100B by 2025. The brands scaling fastest aren't running one channel well — they're running paid, organic, creative, and retention as one system. We do that work from a Mohali HQ, with Hindi + Punjabi creative for Tier 2 reach and WhatsApp Commerce for cart recovery.

Quick Answer

GliscoLab delivers e-commerce and D2C digital marketing for India brands — Meta Ads, Google Shopping, AI video, UGC, SEO, email and WhatsApp Commerce. Tricity HQ, pan-India delivery, multi-language creative for Tier 2 audience reach, and full-funnel coordination across Flipkart + Amazon + DTC websites.

The India e-commerce & d2c market — what makes it distinct.

India D2C has crossed from early-adopter category to scale phase. Meta + Instagram remain the dominant acquisition channels; Google Shopping and Performance Max are mandatory for product-led brands. WhatsApp Commerce has emerged as the highest-converting abandoned cart recovery surface in any global market.

Tier 2 + Tier 3 audience reach requires regional language creative. Hindi is table stakes; Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi creative measurably outperforms English-only campaigns in the relevant regions. Most agencies still ship English-only and wonder why CAC inflates.

Flipkart + Amazon India presence is complementary to owned DTC website, not a substitute. The strongest India D2C programmes coordinate both — using marketplace data for product validation and DTC for margin + retention.
