There you go, I am spilling my secret of survival in Indian D2C industry !!


I didn't start my career in ecommerce so needless to say the last few years have been an extremely steep learning curve. And whatever we have been able to build at Cooee is credits to these people ⭐ 

They have been my sounding board, guiding mentors and critical evaluators at each step.

100+ crore club founders, shark tanks winners, senior executives or growth marketers, whatever they might be for others, for me they are friends whom I really bank on and also have a bit of fun (sometime 😀).

Always rooting for you all 🔥 🚀

Someone approached me at Pune airport and said “I have seen your posts on Linkedin, you are Cooee right?”


My answer, no this is Cooee 👇 

The heart, soul and spirit - they make everything happen !!

With the Indian team, starting 2026 with a bang 📈 🛍️ 🔥 🚀

This one single trait defines fate of a startup 👉  I / We / They.

I have been fortunate to spend time and learn from thousands ecommerce brands across geographies -  Founders and their teams. From idea inception stage to the ones doing upwards of $500 Mn revenue. 

During my meetings and conversation, I keenly observe how the teams address their company when they talk to us.

⭐ Founders - do they address their company as We or I.

⭐ Team members - do they address their company as I or We.

When founders address their teams as "We", magic happens. This empowers the team with accountability, responsibility but also bring them together working as a unit and they get due share of the credit and success.

On the other hand I have seen when a team member says "I", it comes from the heart. They might not be the founder but they take ownership of their task and responsibility as their own. Just yesterday I met a growth marketer who was referring to spending lakhs on meta and it sounded like he is spending his own money. To me this is how it should be done and becomes the fundamental reason for success of a company.

Any startup is like a machine and all the part need to be working together in syncrony for it to deliver value.

Spending time with industry stalwarts like Abhishek Jain & Anurag Kedia just echo's same thoughts and leadership style. Grateful for their time, insights and trust with Cooee.

We did a thing last night 🔥⭐️🎉

Thank you Delhi for always being so warm and generous 🙏🏻

The past few months have been a festive and exciting time for us at Cooee 🛍️ 

Onboarding some of the top ecommerce brands and driving exceptional BFCM results.

Everything people had told me about Aikyam By Marmeto was incorrect.


Because it was far far more than I could have ever imagined.

The only event I have seen where partnerships are not just formed but celebrated. And funny how, because usually being the best makes people a bit unapproachable but the team at Marmeto are completely opposite.

Such a pleasure to be working and learning with the stalwarts of Shopify space in India. 

Thank you hosting us and setting the bar so high that I don’t think anyone can ever match it.

Festive sales are over, every ecommerce brand should be tracking these KPI's(compared to last year):

👉 Conversion rate

👉 Margin per SKU(based on discounts given)

👉 Revenue per customer

👉 AOV

👉 ROAS

👉 Tech stack spends

If you are not seeing positive upticks in anyone of them, it's time to rethink of your strategy for 2026.

Cooee

All that targeted performance marketing for traffic acquisition, only to be greeted with static landing pages 📉 

No wonder your conversion rate is less than 2%

Now #AI makes it possible to dynamically deliver every elements/block of your ecommerce website for content, positioning, offer etc based on each visitor's purchase intent.

Every widget delivered based on data, working across the customer journey to deliver full funnel conversion optimisation 🛍️ 

Let's engage, Let's Cooee

They all say "Your conversations are private from advertisers ⁉️" 

9:21am - Me sitting with bunch of friends at a cafe and talking about Tesla's India v/s UK pricing.

9:23am - Me opening Youtube and getting Tesla Ad 😂 

Internet is synonymous with Ad's and every big digital business's one of the main pillars of revenue of from advertisements.

Will be interesting to see how this plays out for chatgpt... Ssshhsss but no one's listening right 🤐
