Are you a global advertiser looking to grow? There’s one market that continues to attract attention for all the right reasons: India.
India is not only growing but also transforming digitally. According to the January 2025 edition of the World Bank’s Global Economic Prospects report, India’s economy is projected to grow steadily at 6.7% in both FY26 and FY27. That’s significantly ahead of global and regional averages, and it reflects not just resilience but momentum.
What makes this even more exciting is how this growth is tied to digital-first consumer behavior. Across verticals like e-commerce, travel, fashion, and technology, millions of Indians are transacting, engaging, and discovering products online daily.
However, expanding to India isn’t just about translating existing strategies or running ads at scale. The real challenge and opportunity lie in connecting with consumers through the right channels. That’s where affiliate marketing proves to be a powerful model. It offers performance-driven growth by partnering with publishers, influencers, and platforms that already have the trust of Indian audiences.
India is a rapidly growing, digitally-first country with a significant consumer base. According to Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI), India has a massive internet user base, with 971.50 million users as of 2025. The figure keeps rising every month. The rise of affordable smartphones and some of the world’s cheapest mobile data rates has made the internet more accessible than ever, not just in major cities but also deep into tier 2 and tier 3 towns, where the next wave of digital consumers is coming from.
This digital infrastructure is powering an ecosystem where:
Famous global brands like Amazon, Apple, Unilever, Netflix, and many more have already scaled in India with localised marketing strategies. This presents a rare opportunity: a digitally engaged, mobile-first population that’s eager to explore, try, and trust new products and services online.
For all of its potential, India is a complex, multifaceted market. Brands frequently confront fundamental hurdles when debuting here, including:
Launching in India requires a performance approach that prioritises return on investment in all choices, trusted partners, and extensive local knowledge. vCommission India’s biggest affiliate network brings precisely this to the table. This is how we do it:
vCommission helps simplify this complexity by connecting you with the right affiliates and platforms that already engage regional audiences effectively. Our experience working across verticals and regions helps you choose high-performing channels that match your goals. Instead of guessing what works, you tap into proven publisher networks and performance data that keep your campaigns relevant and result-driven. This local-first approach ensures your campaign feels relevant, not foreign, and helps you connect authentically with Indian consumers from day one.
Every brand has distinct objectives, such as increasing e-commerce sales, lead generation, or app installs. We at vCommission don’t think there is a one-size-fits-all strategy. Rather, we suggest tactics that complement your industry vertical and business goals. Our team assists you with the best affiliate mix, including content partners, cashback platforms, influencers, and deal sites, as well as appropriate revenue methods like CPA, CPL, or CPS.

This is not it; we have more mediums that allow us to cover the full customer journey, from awareness to conversion, while staying efficient and cost-effective.
India is a mobile-first country. Most online purchases, app installs, and engagements happen through mobile devices. This shift requires advertisers to build mobile-optimized funnels from the start. At vCommission, we offer mobile-first strategies to match this behavior.
Run targeted app install campaigns on CPI or CPA models. You can collaborate with mobile-focused content creators and platforms. Leverage mobile-native ad formats that enhance visibility and engagement. Optimise for smooth post-click experiences to reduce drop-offs. This ensures your campaigns resonate with how Indian consumers use their devices, keeping performance high and budgets effective.
vCommission protects your campaigns with strong anti-fraud measures. We use AI tools to spot suspicious activity, manually review leads and conversions, and block low-quality traffic through blacklist management. Every affiliate is carefully screened before joining to ensure only trusted partners promote your brand. This keeps your data clean, your budget safe, and your results accurate.
When you partner with vCommission, you’re not left to navigate the market alone. You get a dedicated account manager, someone with on-ground knowledge, campaign experience, and a clear understanding of your vertical.
Your account manager handles the campaign planning and scaling, partner recommendations and approvals, ongoing optimisation and troubleshooting, and weekly performance reviews and growth planning.
Whether you’re launching your first campaign or scaling across regions, your account manager becomes an extension of your marketing team focused on your KPIs, your market success, and your growth.
