Launchpad is a reliable e-commerce franchise designed to make ownership easy, scalable, and profitable for all Indians. Not just a franchise network, Launch works as an abridgement between manufacturers, technology and consumers.
Established 7 years ago in India, Launchpad has been gradually transformed from a development venture in retail to an established e-commerce business. It is a registered Private Limited company today and this has been earned through consistency, trust and quantifiable growth.
We have numbers to brag about: over 100 functioning stores and highly performing locations such as Kerala (4000 sq. ft), Bangalore (2500 sq. ft), Maharashtra (2500 sq. ft), and Bokaro (4000 sq. ft).
A strong catalogue of more than 500 fast moving consumer products is at the heart of Launchpad with categories such as personal care, electronics, home essentials and lifestyle. We have strong relationships with the manufactures and this enables us to provide products that are competitively priced as well as supported by guaranteed supply and good margins.
Launchpad is proudly built in India and takes pride in managing everything from sourcing to logistics under one roof. We have mastered a conveyable structure that thrives on effectiveness, innovation and responsibility. All processes are computerized, all transaction history has a trail and all outcome can be measured.
We have the greatest strength in manufacturer-direct relationships. Launchpad is removing unwarranted middlemen, and in its place providing us and our future franchise partners a unique advantage; better margins, consistent quality, and complete transparency. The direct sourcing means that it will be competitive in pricing and win customer loyalty.
Launchpad is not a single channel-based business, we are on numerous platforms specially our own digital engine, known as LELO LP. The network also incorporates online marketplaces and our premium Shopify storefront, and exclusive product portals. Whatever the customers do, whether they shop online, in store or by local delivery, they can access the products.
All our supply chain is data driven. We monitor the sales and restocks and customer behavior in order to make every line-up of products appropriate and profitable. This evidence-based inventory helps to predict demand, sustain refill discipline, and reduce the amount of unsold inventory.
Under such a system, Launchpad has established a reputation of consistency and predictability a quality which is extended to our franchise partners.
Launchpad releases a central performance marketing calendar on a quarterly basis, which is in tandem with the festival seasons and retail trends in India. These campaigns will garner the national publicity and allow local markets to be supported with promotional content and influencer partnerships and online advertising.
The outcome: year-round foot traffic and online traffic.
Launchpad is a company that is rooted in systems. Our services include end-to-end operational advisory, such as billing, GST, inventory management, recruiting, and training. We have a business model that can be duplicated which ensures that the experience in a direct outlet or a franchise home is the same.
Franchisees are not left alone after setup. Every partner receives structured training, HR guidance, GST and accounting support, and 24×7 technical help. We provide standard operating procedures (SOPs), inventory management tools, marketing templates, and hiring support to ensure consistent operations across all units. This “plug-and-play” model allows franchise owners to focus on growth while we handle the systems.
At Launchpad we do not sell dreams, we sell systems that work. The promise of our franchise is process and partnership promises. Our own business has tried and tested all its steps in procurement to sales and marketing and then passed over to partners. Through efficient onboarding, marketing assistance, and real-time analytics, the franchise owners can concentrate on growth, as everything complex happens in the background.
With a successful and sustainable company, Launchpad`s next mission is to extend its success to other people who aspire to be independent. Our mission is to enable enterprising Indians with an established model of e-commerce business that can convert manufacturer-direct reach into viable local opportunity.
A Launchpad franchise is profitable early in the business since it is run with already tested framework which runs our current business. Months later the franchise outlets start gaining local trust, having frequent repeat customers, and they are also involved in national promotions that enhance visibility and sales. The success here is not by chance but can be measured, repeated and guided all the way through.

Entry-level format design for small cities and residential area. Minimal set up, joint logistics and differentiated product assortment.
