About the Client

Founded in 2019, this Direct-to-Consumer Fashion brand was doing ₹3Cr annual revenue but hitting a growth ceiling.

They came to us because they were spending ₹2L/month on ads but conversion was stuck at 1.4% while competitors were outperforming them with inferior products.

Why They Called Us

Spending ₹2L/month on ads with stagnant conversion

Competitors converting better despite worse products

Cart abandonment at 76% (Industry average is 60%)

Mobile experience completely broken for iPhone users

Previous agency delivered a site that looked good but didn't sell

Forensic Audit

The Leak Detected.

Our audit revealed a toxic combination of technical debt and friction points that were effectively throwing away 50% of their ad spend.

Performance Issues
