What is the marketplace approval timeline?
Agency-filed: 15-45 days. Self-filed: 4-12x longer with 8-15% first-attempt approval rate. Timeline drivers: complete pre-audited dossier, direct buyer routing (not public seller portal), and category L1/L2/L3 mapping done pre-submission.
What is marketplace's commission rate?
marketplace commission ranges 8-40% depending on category, brand tier, and negotiated MSA. Blended effective take-rate (commission + fulfilment + PLA + returns) typically lands 32-48% on GMV.
Do I need a trademark to sell on marketplace?
Class 25/3/14 trademark — active or pending — is non-negotiable for premium marketplaces (marketplace included). Expedited 5-day filing available. We file trademark + brand approval in parallel.
How long does marketplace onboarding take with an agency?
15-45 days agency-filed vs 90-180 days self-filed. Difficulty: Medium-High. First-attempt approval rate: 92-98% with pre-audited dossier and direct buyer routing.
What documents are required for marketplace?
GST · PAN · Class 25/3/14 Trademark · FSSAI (beauty/wellness/F&B) · BIS (toys/kids) · CDSCO (imported beauty) · Brand pitch deck · Marketplace-spec catalog · Cancelled cheque · Director KYC. We pre-audit the full stack before submission.
Can you guarantee marketplace approval?
No reputable agency guarantees approval — final decisions rest with marketplace's category buyer team. Our 92-98% first-attempt rate reflects pre-audited dossier discipline, not a guarantee. If rejected, we handle re-application at no additional fee.
Who handles my marketplace account day-to-day?
A dedicated 5-member team — 1 senior category lead + 1 catalog ops + 1 PPC specialist + 1 finance/reconciliation + 1 CSM. Founder-led escalation, never handed off to juniors.
How often do I get marketplace performance reports?
Weekly MOM (Minutes of Meeting) email with GMV, ROAS, ACOS, return-rate, top/bottom SKUs, ad spend against category benchmark. Monthly executive review with quarterly OKR reset.
Do you also do marketplace advertising and PLA management?
Yes — sponsored ads + PLA + DSP + retargeting are core to every account. Budgets deployed ROAS-first with weekly bid optimization and negative-keyword hygiene.

Yes — brand launch is our #1 service. Timeline 15-45 days. Includes entity setup, trademark filing, dossier prep, buyer pitch, catalog build, hero SKU merchandising, PLA activation.
Do you handle marketplace payment reconciliation?
Yes — commission audit, return-cost recovery, TDS handling, dispute filings, penalty reversals. Recovers 3-8% of GMV that most brands leave on the table.
What if my marketplace account is suspended?
Account revival is a service we deliver — root cause diagnosis + LTR compliance + policy alignment + appeal drafting + buyer escalation. Median revival: 15-25 days.
Do you work with startups or only large brands?
Both. Our lightest engagement is ₹40K/month for early D2C brands; enterprise engagements run ₹3-8L/month. Founder-authored playbooks work for ₹5L/month GMV and ₹5Cr/month GMV alike.
