The Story in Brief
More than 60 founders, operators and ecosystem leaders attended Inc42’s Kolkata edition of D2CX Converge, hosted with Shadowfax. Discussions focused on customer retention, omnichannel expansion, operational efficiency and category growth. Wow! Momo cofounder Murali Krishnan discussed the company’s stated Rs 1,000 crore-plus growth journey and its expansion into Wow! China after delivery orders rose from 15,000 in February 2020 to 9 lakh in October 2020, according to Inc42.
A panel featuring leaders from Nestasia, Aza Fashions, WishCare and Littlebox examined how consumer brands can reach and move beyond the Rs 100 crore mark. Inc42 cited its 2026 report’s estimates of 350 million online shoppers and 19 million power shoppers in India. Speakers stressed customer insight, CRM systems, technology and operational discipline over growth pursued for its own sake.
The Indian Opinion
D2C success is often sold through neat growth stories, while the harder questions about margins, repeat purchases and fulfilment receive less attention. The Kolkata event’s lessons are useful, but a company’s headline scale does not prove that its model is durable. Nor does customer obsession alone guarantee profits. The meaningful test is whether these brands can show improving retention and margins as they expand beyond their first major revenue milestone.
