Speaking on the report launch, Saahil Goel, co-founder, and CEO of Shiprocket said, "The rise of online-first shopping behavior and conscious consumerism fueled the era of D2C brands.

他进一步补充说,这份报告的目的是箴言ide a comprehensive deep dive of the D2C sector in India and its tremendous potential in the coming years. "We've seen that almost all pin codes in India are using e-commerce. Many of these transactions and orders come from tier two cities and smaller towns. By FY30, India will also have more than 1.3 billion smartphone users and more than 500 million online shoppers. The growing e-commerce sector positively influences the growth of D2C brands in India. With more people shopping online and more money being spent by consumers, the market is likely to increase over the next five years. To reduce their reliance on the marketplaces, even traditional brands are increasingly developing their D2C channels such as website, app and social media handles to reach out and sell to their customers," said Mohit Mittal, Partner of Praxis Global Alliance.
