The alliance between G.O.A.T Brand labs and THG Ingenuity will see the companies work together to develop localized digital capabilities to help India’s leading consumer brands scale up their e-commerce businesses, representing a significant step toward future-proofing the robust growth of the Indian DTC ecosystem.
