Industry · Retail & D2C

From flagship store siting to going offline — the planning layer for consumer brands.

Catchment-precise siting, hyperlocal media, premiumization, and the bridge from online to physical. Pincode-grade inputs for every consumer-brand expansion decision.

The big picture.

Retail is the broadest opportunity in client count, with smaller per-deal ACVs than BFSI but with high product breadth — every retailer uses the Affluence Index, Persona Studio, and Hyperlocal Activation in some combination. The use cases below are deployed across consumer electronics, jewellery, fashion, F&B, specialty retail, and digitally-native D2C brands going offline.
