Published 30 September 2026

India’s D2C wave has produced thousands of founder-led brands, and in most of them the founder still signs off on marketing spend. That makes founders the right first contact for agencies selling performance marketing, creative production, marketplace management, retention or CRO.

Who’s on this list

Founders and co-founders of direct-to-consumer brands headquartered in India that sell through their own website, not only through marketplaces. Each record is a named person at an active brand, with a work email checked before delivery.

Filters you can apply

• Category: beauty, fashion, food & beverage, home, wellness, pet, baby care and more
• City: Mumbai, Bengaluru, Delhi NCR, Pune, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Jaipur and others
• Team size: early-stage (1–10) to scaling (50+)
• Storefront: Shopify, WooCommerce or custom, where detectable
• Exclusions: your existing clients or brands you’ve already pitched

How agencies use it

Lead with their storefront, not your services. D2C founders get pitched constantly. The outreach that works points out something specific about their site: a slow product page, a missing post-purchase flow, ads with no landing-page match.

Segment by category. A skincare founder and a packaged-snacks founder have different problems (repeat purchase vs. distribution). Write a different first line for each category.

Expect founder-speed replies. Founders either reply fast or not at all. A short, specific message with a single question beats a deck attachment.

Freshness

D2C is a fast-moving space. Brands launch, pivot and shut down within months. We build this list when you order it rather than pulling from an old snapshot, and re-check each founder’s current role before delivery.
