The co-founders had previously launched Wigzo which was acquired by Shiprocket back in 2021. Nitro also aims to reach profitability by 2025 by democratising its technology, making it easy for merchants to access and deploy, and offering it as an outcome-as-a-service. The startup claims that it has on boarded more than 100 D2C brands in the past six months and aims to grow this number to over 1,000 brands by the end of the year. According to the Gurugram-based company, it will introduce an innovative approach to integrate e-commerce and digital advertising with bespoke and intelligent data-driven offerings. It competes with the other players in this space such as Klaviyo, Elastic Path Software, Bango, Yotpo, Rokt and others.
