India's e-commerce economy crossed ₹9 lakh crore GMV in FY2025 — the third-largest online retail market in the world by user count and growing about 22% CAGR. The competitive landscape has three distinct layers: horizontal marketplaces (Amazon, Flipkart, Meesho, JioMart), category leaders (Nykaa in beauty, Myntra and Ajio in fashion, FirstCry in kids, PharmEasy and Netmeds in pharma), and a Q-commerce delivery layer that added ₹40,000 crore in three years (Blinkit, Zepto, Swiggy Instamart, BigBasket Now, Flipkart Minutes).
For B2B teams selling into this ecosystem — logistics SaaS, warehouse robotics, packaging suppliers, seller-services SaaS, digital marketing, BNPL, and payment platforms — the addressable base is millions of sellers plus tens of thousands of dark stores, fulfilment centres, and D2C brands. Our India e-commerce directory consolidates verified seller, D2C, fulfilment, and Q-commerce records.
