Assiduus Global

Assiduus Global operates as an AI-powered, cross-border e-commerce accelerator, providing end-to-end solutions for direct-to-consumer (D2C) brands looking to expand their footprint across global marketplaces. Founded in 2018 by Dr. Somdutta Singh, the company was born from her own experiences and challenges with scaling her private-label brands internationally. This firsthand knowledge of navigating the complexities of regulations, logistics, and localization across different e-commerce platforms shaped the company's core mission.

Dr. Singh, a serial entrepreneur with a background in ad-tech, identified a critical gap in the market for a unified partner that could manage the entire e-commerce value chain. This led to the creation of Assiduus, which acts as a single point of contact for brands, handling everything from market entry strategy and compliance to logistics and performance optimization. The company's business model is designed to allow brands to focus on their core competencies—product design, production, and brand building—while Assiduus manages the operational complexities of global online retail. Clients include established names like Dabur and Himalaya, as well as digital-native brands such as Beardo and Plush.

The firm's service suite is comprehensive, covering global supply chain management, inventory planning, brand protection against unauthorized sellers, and listing optimization. A key component of its offering is a proprietary, patent-pending technology platform. This includes BrandCentral, an intelligence dashboard that provides clients with real-time, unified data and analytics on sales performance, inventory health, and ad efficiency across multiple marketplaces like Amazon, Walmart, Shopify, and Noon. By leveraging AI, the platform delivers actionable insights that inform pricing, demand planning, and marketing strategies, giving brands a competitive edge. The company's revenue is generated through its full-stack e-commerce management and distribution services.

Headquartered in Delaware, USA, Assiduus has demonstrated significant growth, raising $16 million over two funding rounds. A key milestone was a $15 million Series A round in October 2022, led by Pulsar Capital, to enhance its technology and expand into European and Southeast Asian markets. The company has since expanded its operations to South America and serves brands across more than 12 marketplaces globally.
