We’ve largely solved payments infrastructure in India. Ecommerce execution, however, still feels fragmented and unreliable in comparison. I’ve spent years watching infrastructure succeed where product innovation alone couldn’t. The pattern is consistent: fragmentation creates friction, standardisation creates scale. India’s ecommerce today feels a lot like digital payments did before UPI. A friend recently launched a brand and asked me, “Which payment gateway should I use?” That question made something clear. Payments aren’t the real problem. They’re just one step. Commerce breaks in everything that comes after. Selling direct today means juggling storefronts, logistics dashboards, payment systems, courier tools, tracking links, returns workflows, and manual customer communication. Seven dashboards. Constant re-entry. Systems that don’t talk. Each tool works on its own. The handoffs are what break. Demand exists. Execution collapses at scale. Marketplaces bundle everything but take margins and ownership. Direct commerce offers freedom, but turns founders into operations managers instead of brand builders. This is the exact problem UPI solved: fragmented systems, manual reconciliation, unpredictable outcomes. That’s when I started seeing Shiprocket as an infrastructure layer for ecommerce execution, similar in spirit to what UPI became for payments. The problem isn’t fully solved, but the shift from fragmented tools to shared execution rails has clearly begun. A single system where core ecommerce workflows connect automatically, without merchants stitching tools together. Integration happens behind the scenes, and intelligence increasingly guides decisions that were earlier driven by guesswork Over 4 lakh merchants now operate this way, selling directly without operational chaos. This is what infrastructure does. It makes the hard parts invisible so founders can focus on building brands, not managing dashboards. India didn’t scale payments by building more apps. It scaled by standardising execution. Ecommerce is finally starting to move in the same direction.

Agilitas x Virat Kohli partnership is one of the masterstroke deals I have seen in recent times. Virat invests 40 CR in Agilitas for a 1.94% stake, putting Agilitas’s valuation around 2000 CR. 📈 In turn, Agilitas acquires one8world, making Virat a co-founder and shareholder. They now get two very important growth levers: ⬇️ 1. A powerful manufacturing (via Mochiko Shoes - a 600 CR+ footwear brand that Agilitas acquired in 2008 ), 2. India’s biggest athlete — exclusively aligned. Easily becomes a 4000 CR revenue brand in the next 5 years. Footwear + retail scale requires capital — but this partnership compresses customer acquisition, product cycles, and brand-building like few others. Even Virat said in his podcast with Abhishek Ganguly, the co-founder of Agilitas that, “I didn’t want a brand deal… I wanted to build something that outlives me.” And Abhishek said something even beautiful - “An ambition to build from India but be globally relevant.” This isn’t marketing. This is legacy building with shared skin in the game. And that is how startups work - shared ambition with one goal (to make the company big) and food (read stake) in the table for everyone! A company that can be built in the long term with culture, capital, and conviction aligned. This might be the first time in India, where an athlete joins hands with a sport company to re-imagine and build the sport ecosystem of India - truly revolutionalising the game with a clear vision. 🙌
