About Merito

Despite the wave of D2C brands in India, most of them are flying blind.

They don't know if their unit economics are healthy. They don't know how they compare to competitors. They don't know if they're creditworthy - and neither do their investors.

Merito is building the financial operating system for India's D2C seller economy. The layer of intelligence that sits between a brand and every financial decision it makes.

800+ brands (with over Rs. 6,000 Cr in sales) use Merito today. 90%+ organically. We did this with just 8 people.

Apart from having marquee angels, we've just closed a Rs. 35 Cr round - with an additional future commitment of Rs. 100 Cr.
