Can You Build a $10 Mn Brand in a Year? This Game Says Try It.

You’ve Scaled the Pain. Now Play It.

Running a D2C brand isn’t just business; it’s a survival game. One day, you're deep in spreadsheets trying to fix a revenue leak, the next you’re juggling RTO calls, chasing ad ROAS across Meta Ads, and wondering if your inventory reconciliation will ever match your bank statement.

To that founder who's toggling between Shopify dashboards, Google Ads panels, Flipkart listings, and Meta ROIs: we see you. Your life inspired a new kind of experience.

Not another guide. Not another dashboard. A D2C simulation game.

Why We Built This Game

We talked to hundreds of D2C founders, CXOs, and growth marketers from brands generating anywhere from ₹1 crore to ₹100 crore in revenue. What we found? Chaos was the common denominator.

Every D2C founder had the same struggles: fragmented data, disconnected SKUs, unclear CAC trends, and an overwhelming need to switch tabs 20 times a day. They used post-sales analytics platforms, marketing attribution tools, even ecommerce analytics stacks but still relied on Excel. That's what inspired us.

So, we built a mirror.

What Is the D2C Startup Simulator?

It’s a bite-sized, high-intent, decision-heavy game where you play a founder trying to scale a D2C brand to $10 Mn Run rate in 365 days. Along the way, you’ll navigate:

• Platform chaos (Shopify, Meta, Flipkart, Amazon)

• Multi-channel sales reporting nightmares

• Cross-platform attribution issues

• Real-world pressure from ops, finance, and marketing

This isn’t just a game; it’s a diagnostic of the Indian D2C stack.

Who Will You Meet?

Your cast of characters includes:

• Molly Metrics, your data-obsessed finance lead who lives to kill spreadsheets

  

• Opal Ops, who speaks in SKUs and is obsessed with PIN code level logistics

  

• Chad Clikz, your ROAS-crazed marketing chief who wants to test everything, always

  

• Karen Karma, the CX head, believes empathy should come before margin

• Vic Venture, your investor who wants velocity, hockey stick graphs, and the moon

  

There are a lot more characters, and together, they create more plot twists than a Netflix drama.

Game Dynamics: Real-Life D2C Challenges

• Marketing Attribution D2C: Which ad actually converted?

• Inventory Reconciliation Software: Where did your stock really go?

• D2C Data Dashboard: Is this the 12th or 20th tab today?

• Ecommerce ROI Optimization: Are you optimizing or just surviving?

If you’ve been searching for tools that act as a unified D2C data platform, or wondering how to go from zero to hero using AI tools for D2C founders, this simulator gives you a crash course.

Can You Really Build a ₹10 Crore Brand?

Absolutely, if you master the chaos.

This simulation game doesn't just test your marketing tactics or ops knowledge. It evaluates your cross-platform ecommerce reporting, revenue leak detection, and your ability to survive investor meetings with dignity intact.

You will:

• Fix ROAS slumps

• Choose whether to hire a Shopify agency or build in-house

• Respond to a finance team asking for automated dashboards

• Handle late dispatches and angry Flipkart customers

All within 365 days.

Why This Game Matters

Whether you’re exploring the potential of a D2C analytics platform, struggling with platform integrations, or juggling multi-channel sales dashboards, this game brings it all to life.

It’s satire. It’s real. It’s deeply relatable.

Because every decision you make in the game mirrors one you’ve made in real life or will soon.

Who Should Play?

• D2C founders and CXOs who live in chaos

• Marketers blamed for ROAS drops

• Ops heads reconciling midnight fire drills

• Finance folks hunting for reconciliation magic

• Investors trying to understand the cost of scale

Even if you’re just curious about interactive ecommerce startup games, you’ll walk away laughing, learning, and maybe even building better.
