At Gaea, we’re India’s first purpose-driven CRO agency for D2C founders who want more than vanity metrics. We don’t just design stores or run ads - we fix funnels, unlock conversions, and scale with purpose.

With 6+ years in D2C growth and millions earned for clients, we blend brand, Shopify, and CRO into one. We’re not just consultants — we’re partners who plug leaks, refine journeys, and fuel growth that lasts.

Purpose builds trust. Trust drives conversions.

At Gaea, we exist to turn brand purpose into conversions that scale.

At Gaea, we exist to turn brand purpose into conversions that scale.

We built Gaea because we saw the same struggle across D2C founders: Shopify stores that looked nice but didn’t convert, CRO audits that ended with reports no one acted on, and marketing teams obsessed with ROAS while ignoring the real lever - conversion rate.

Too many brands were burning ad money on leaky funnels, chasing short-term returns instead of building long-term trust. Founders were told to pick between vanity-driven branding or cold performance hacks - neither built sustainable growth.

Gaea was born to bridge that gap. We align brand purpose with conversion science - so your store doesn’t just run ads, it runs smarter. Purpose drives trust, trust drives conversions, and conversions drive growth that lasts.

This is Gaea: Where purpose meets profit, and every click counts.

We believe growth isn’t about louder ads or bigger discounts - it’s about building stores that convert with clarity and purpose.

We believe every founder deserves more than vanity metrics.

We believe brand purpose isn’t fluff - it’s the engine that drives trust, and trust drives conversions.

We believe Shopify isn’t just a platform, it’s the stage where your story, strategy, and sales come together.

We believe in fixing funnels, not band-aiding them.

We believe conversion isn’t an accident - it’s engineered.

"When I started Gaea, I knew one thing for sure, growth shouldn’t feel like guesswork. Too many founders chase ROAS while ignoring user behavior, UX experience, and funnel leaks that block conversions. My goal has always been to align purpose with performance - building stores that feel intuitive, convert better, and scale sustainably. That’s what drives me every single day."
