We Analyzed the Tech Stack of India’s Top 50 D2C Beauty & Wellness Brands.
Everyone talks about innovation in D2C. But when we analyzed the technology stacks of India’s top 50 beauty and wellness brands, we found something interesting:
The fastest-growing brands aren’t reinventing the wheel. They’re building on proven technology foundations.
Using data from BuiltWith, we studied leading brands across eCommerce platforms, hosting, payments, analytics, and customer experience tools.
Key Findings
🛍️ 80% run on Shopify
Including brands like The Derma Co, Minimalist, Plum Goodness, mCaffeine, Sugar Cosmetics, and Pilgrim.
☁️ 94% use Cloudflare
Making it the dominant choice for CDN, performance, and security.
📊 96% use Google Analytics 4
Showing that data-driven decision-making is now standard practice.
💳 66% use Razorpay
Often paired with PayPal to support international and NRI customers.
🛒 60% use GoKwik
To improve checkout performance and reduce RTO rates.
🔁 78% use Shopify + Cloudflare together
Making it the most common infrastructure combination among leading brands.
What About Custom Builds?
The brands using custom or headless architectures — such as Mamaearth, Himalaya, Forest Essentials, and Kama Ayurveda — are typically well-established businesses with dedicated engineering teams and years of operational maturity.
For most new and growing D2C brands, that’s not where the journey starts.
The Takeaway for Founders
If you’re building or scaling a D2C brand, the data points to a clear playbook:
- Customer engagement platforms as retention becomes a priority
- Shopify for commerce
- Cloudflare for speed and security
- Google Analytics 4 for insights
- Razorpay + PayPal for payments
- GoKwik and retention tools as you scale
The best-performing brands aren’t winning because of complex technology. They’re winning because they’ve adopted proven tools and focused on execution.
