Client Case Study — E-commerce — Growth & Performance — Flagship Engagement

From Zero to ₹13 Crore. Then We Helped Them Outgrow Us.

This consumer electronics brand had no digital presence at all — pure offline wholesale. In under three years, we built the e-commerce foundation and growth engine that took it to ₹13 crore in online sales, then helped the client build the internal team to run it themselves.

This case study is based on an actual BoffinBrains client engagement. Identifying details have been withheld from the public version for confidentiality. Our Business Advisory team can walk you through the engagement, implementation and outcomes in greater detail.

The Business

Offline Wholesale, Zero Digital Presence

Before BoffinBrains, this consumer electronics brand sold drones and related electronics entirely offline, through wholesale. There was no website, no online store — nothing digital at all.

The Challenge

Nothing to Build On, and No Way to Sustain It Alone Forever

Starting from zero meant every part of the digital business had to be built at once, then eventually handed off to an internal team.

No Digital Foundation

No website, no online store, no infrastructure of any kind to build on.

No Acquisition Engine

Without a commerce foundation, there was no system to bring in customers.

No Internal Capability

Growth without in-house capability risks long-term dependence on an outside partner.

The Diagnosis

A store without acquisition is invisible. Acquisition without a store has nowhere to send people. Both had to be built at the same time.

Fast enough to capture category demand before competitors did

The Work

From a Website Launch to Top-3 National Rankings

We launched the brand's online store in July 2023 — 8 orders in the first month. From there: Google Shopping ads, SEO that reached and held top-3 national rankings for major drone keywords, optimised Performance Max campaigns, and advanced tracking.

What Changed

₹13 Crore in Online Sales. Then a Team of Their Own.

In FY 2024–25, online sales reached ₹13 crore. Monthly order volume grew from 8 in the first month to a sustained 130–140. BoffinBrains proactively recommended and supported the client in building an in-house team.

Why It Matters

The Best Outcome Isn't Needing Us Forever

BoffinBrains recommended the client build their own team the moment it made business sense — and stayed on as a consultant, not a gatekeeper.
