E-commerce ads in India is a different game from generic performance marketing
Indian e-commerce has matured past the "everyone shops on Amazon and Flipkart" phase. The current reality is a multi-surface buyer: a customer discovers a brand on Instagram, comparison-shops on Google Shopping, reads a review on YouTube, and either buys on the brand's own Shopify store or on Amazon depending on shipping speed, return policy, and price. Running e-commerce ads in India in 2026 means managing campaigns across at least 4-6 surfaces and getting the attribution right enough to know where to allocate the next rupee.
Most Indian D2C brands optimise one surface at a time — Meta this quarter, Google next quarter, Amazon eventually — and lose the compounding effect of full-funnel orchestration. Our model is to run all the relevant surfaces simultaneously with a single attribution view: Meta for discovery, Google Shopping for high-intent comparison, Google Search for branded + non-brand keywords, YouTube for product education, Amazon Sponsored Products for marketplace pull, and re-engagement across all. The result for typical mid-size D2C clients: 25-40% lower blended CAC than single-surface optimisation.
