What stays human
Consumer instinct assessment
Whether a leader understands what the next 100 million online shoppers want — that insight is assessed through conversation, not data.
Scale-stage fit
The CEO for a ₹50 Cr D2C brand operates differently from a ₹500 Cr one. That stage-readiness is evaluated in person.
Founder-operator chemistry
Many D2C hires work alongside founders. That relationship dynamic requires human judgment.
The Grafa principle
“E-commerce leadership is won by those who understand the consumer better than the algorithm does.”
Interview Intelligence
AI in Every Interview. Commerce-Aware. Investor-Ready.
Grafa scores e-commerce leaders on consumer instinct, commercial rigour, and scale experience — producing evidence for boards and investors in India's digital commerce revolution.
Commerce Leadership Capture
Category scaling stories, unit economics discussions, and channel strategy narratives — captured verbatim for the hiring committee.
E-commerce Leadership Scoring

Evidence-Based Commerce Case
Each recommendation links GMV achievements, unit economics, and channel-scaling evidence directly from the interview.
Investor & Board Dashboard
E-commerce hires involve VC/PE investors, marketplace partners, and brand boards. Grafa produces multi-stakeholder documentation.
“…grew the D2C beauty brand from ₹70 Cr to ₹420 Cr in two years, achieving 18% EBITDA by shifting from marketplace-dependent to a 40% own-channel mix including quick commerce.”
“How did you manage the transition from marketplace to own-channel without losing GMV growth?”

Why E-commerce Search Breaks Down — And How Grafa Fixes It
Marketplace vs. inventory leaders fail when swapped
Leaders who built marketplace muscle often fail in inventory-led models — and vice versa. Grafa segments e-commerce leaders by business model DNA, not just e-commerce experience.
D2C scale-stage mismatch is the #1 hiring error
The CEO who built 0-100 Cr on e-commerce is rarely the right CEO for 100-1000 Cr. Grafa specifically scores leaders by proven stage of scale.
Quick commerce operations leadership is 2 years old
Blinkit, Zepto, and Instamart have created an operating environment with no historical talent pool. Grafa tracks every executive who's built quick commerce operations — all 200 of them.
