Business Development Associate in Bangalore, भारत

What do we do:

ShopDeck helps e-commerce merchants set up and manage their D2C storefront “profitably”.

Proposition for merchants:

D2C seling made as easy as seling on e-com marketplaces

Why build this?

1. India’s D2C wave has been limited to venture-funded D2C brands today

2. The art of seling on your own website is not democratised. There are ~500k-1M selers who can sel D2C but can at best sel on marketplaces

3. Philosophica ly - we feel brand owners should spend most of their time on the product and not on channel optimization

4. Shopify / Status-quo software solve for work-flow management of storefront but don’t do enough on “helping” merchants sel wel!

Our proposition

1. Marketing manager (“top of the funnel”)

2. Category manager (“products/merchandising”)

4. Ops manager (“shipping metrics”)

Our services layer measures metrics across al these buckets to optimise and take appropriate actions for merchant’s https://jobeax.com/link/aLZ3oDKszNzldqBL time, the goal is to productize our services layer - which we believe wil move the baseline of what merchants expect from a storefront software. Team and scale: We’re at ~$4.5M ARR and had hit profitability earlier in the year.
