Addressable TAM

24M–54M

Six Segments.
One Massive Opportunity.

India's 60M+ MSMEs are mobile-first, WhatsApp-native, and desperate to escape DM chaos. Each segment has distinct needs, budgets, and decision triggers.

24M–54M

Combined addressable audience across all 6 segments. Segments 4 & 5 alone represent 13–28 million people — the world's largest untapped micro-seller market.

Every Competitor Has
an India-Sized Gap.

The four most common platforms fail Indian micro-sellers on the exact dimensions they care about most: cost, payments, and speed.

The decisive moat: Hostinger is the only platform where a Tier 2 seller can describe their shop, get an AI-generated store, and accept UPI payments the same day — no developer, no extra KYC, no USD billing confusion.

Three Pillars.
One Clear Win.

Hostinger's differentiation must resolve three simultaneous blockers: complexity, cost, and trust. Each pillar attacks one directly.

Master Campaign Theme

"Aapki Dukaan, Aapki Marzi"

Your Shop, Your Way

A single unifying tension spans all 6 segments: Indian micro-sellers are ready to own their commerce but blocked by complexity, cost, and platforms that don't understand India. This theme resolves all three in four words.

Five Channels.
Each Segment Covered.

Channel priority is driven by where each segment actually lives online — not by global SaaS playbooks. WhatsApp isn't a retention tool here; it's primary acquisition.
