|October 01, 2025

Thousands of D2C brands, from skincare startups to artisanal snack labels, are fighting for consumer attention in a market where choices are infinite, and loyalty is fragile. What separates the winners from the rest is no longer just product quality or discounts, it is the ability to make every shopper feel seen, understood, and valued. That is where personalisation at scale is becoming the game-changer.

Indian consumers, especially Gen Z and millennials, expect brands to know their preferences, anticipate their needs, and offer relevant solutions without being intrusive.
