Companies that use Lively

I noticed that Lively users are predominantly e-commerce companies, specifically in the direct-to-consumer space operating in India or serving Indian markets. The overwhelming presence of Shopify tells me these are online retailers, while the extremely high correlation with India-specific tools like GoKiwk, Nector.io, and Bureau confirms a strong geographic concentration.

The pairing patterns reveal a sophisticated approach to e-commerce operations. GoKiwk appearing in 30 companies makes perfect sense alongside Lively because it handles cash-on-delivery logistics, a critical payment method in Indian e-commerce. Nector.io is a loyalty and rewards platform, suggesting these companies are focused on customer retention, not just acquisition. Bureau provides fraud detection services, which pairs naturally with both the payment complexity and the higher fraud risks common in emerging market e-commerce. Together, these tools paint a picture of companies managing the unique challenges of Indian online retail.

The full stack reveals marketing-led growth companies in the scaling phase. Microsoft Clarity appearing 35 times more often than average indicates these teams are obsessive about understanding user behavior and optimizing conversion rates. They're watching session recordings, analyzing heatmaps, and iterating on their customer experience. Combined with loyalty tools and fraud prevention, I see companies that have moved past pure customer acquisition and are now building sustainable, repeatable revenue models. They're not early-stage startups still figuring out product-market fit, but they're also not enterprise-scale operations yet.

I noticed that Lively's customers are predominantly direct-to-consumer brands selling physical products, with a heavy concentration in personal care, beauty, wellness, and fashion. These aren't SaaS companies or service businesses. They're making tangible goods: skincare serums, hair oils, protein snacks, chewing gum, innerwear, accessories, and ayurvedic supplements. The overwhelming majority are Indian companies (approximately 85%), though they aspire to global reach.

These are primarily growth-stage companies, though with wide variance. The employee counts cluster in the 11-50 range, with several in the 50-200 band. Most were founded in the last 5-10 years, with several launched during or after 2020. The funding signals are telling: many show seed or Series A rounds (typically $500K to $5M), while others show no disclosed funding, suggesting bootstrapping or very early stage. A few larger companies like GSK Consumer Healthcare and Jovees Herbal represent mature operations, but they're outliers.
