Top AI CRO Platforms for Indian D2C 2025: Complete Comparison
The ₹4.2 Crore Platform Selection Mistake
Two brands chose different CRO platforms.
Brand A (Enterprise Platform): ₹52L cost. 3-6 months setup. +18% conversion. ROI: 280% Brand B (Troopod - India-First): ₹22L cost. 3 weeks setup. +124% conversion. ROI: 1,840%
5-year difference: ₹21.4 crores.
Why Enterprise Platforms Fail Indian D2C
Built for:
- Fortune 500 (₹1,000Cr+ revenue)
- US/EU markets (no COD)
- Desktop-heavy (60% desktop)
- Unlimited budgets (₹80L+ acceptable)
Indian D2C reality:
- ₹2-100Cr revenue
- 50%+ COD
- 78%+ mobile
- ₹15-40L budgets
Mismatch = failure
