0-to-1 Marketplace Launch Plan for D2C Founders with Subhash Kumar

Just built your D2C brand and ready to launch on marketplaces? Let's build the playbook before you spend a single rupee on ads.

Most founders waste 3-6 months and lakhs of rupees figuring out marketplaces the hard way. This call gives you a battle-tested launch roadmap built from 9+ years of scaling brands across Amazon, Flipkart, Nykaa, FirstCry & Meesho.

Who it's for:

• D2C founders ready to launch on marketplaces (or stuck within first 6 months)
• Brands on Shopify/website looking to expand to Amazon, Flipkart, Nykaa, FirstCry, or Meesho
• Founders who want a clear roadmap instead of trial-and-error

What you'll get (60 mins):

✅ Platform prioritization — which marketplace to launch first based on your category, margins & audience

✅ Catalog strategy — which SKUs to launch with, pricing architecture, hero vs. filler products

✅ Listing blueprint — title, bullets, A+ content, images that actually convert

✅ Launch-phase PPC plan — campaign structure, keyword tiers, daily budgets, target ACoS

✅ Review velocity strategy — how to get your first 50 reviews without breaking ToS

✅ Inventory & FBA planning — how much stock to send, how to avoid stockouts and storage fees

✅ Margin math — platform fees, commissions, ad spend, returns — what's actually left

✅ 30-60-90 day roadmap — what to do, when to do it, and what metrics to track

Post-call deliverable:

A custom Notion/Google Doc with your launch roadmap, recommended SKU mix, PPC structure, and a week-by-week action plan. Built specifically for your brand — not a generic template.

My background:

• 9+ years across Amazon, Flipkart, Nykaa, FirstCry & Meesho
• Currently scaling Pure Aura — an Ayurvedic baby care brand across marketplaces
• Hands-on across PPC, platform negotiations, listing optimization & category strategy
• Q-commerce expansion experience (Zepto, Blinkit)

Before booking:

Share your brand name, category, current channels (Shopify/Instagram/offline), and target marketplaces in the intake form. I'll do pre-call research so we hit the ground running.

Note: This is a strategy call, not done-for-you execution. You (or your team) will need to execute the plan — but you'll know exactly what to do.
