Yet, a staggering 65% of finance heads admit they do not trust the data provided by their operations teams. This gap is what we call an ops finance data mismatch. While the operations...

But here is a sobering statistic: 70% of growing D2C brands in India struggle to stay profitable because their backend costs rise faster than their sales.

But the numbers tell a far more dangerous story. In 2025 alone, Indian sellers lost nearly ₹2 lakh crore in revenue due to returns.

Data consistently shows that nearly 65% of Indian brands remain trapped in the ₹1–50 Cr GMV revenue band, unable to make the leap to the coveted ₹100 Cr milestone. The reason isn’t demand.
