Farscape runs its own ecommerce operations from sourcing, listing, selling, fulfilling, so that every recommendation we make to clients comes from current, hands-on experience.
What Is the Operator Lab?
Most consulting firms advise from the outside. Farscape runs an active ecommerce trading operation alongside its consulting practice. We source products, manage marketplace listings on Amazon and Flipkart, handle fulfilment, and optimise for profitability — the same operational challenges our consulting clients face every day.
This is not a side business. It is a deliberate discipline. When we tell a client how to structure their pricing, manage inventory turnover, or negotiate marketplace commissions, we are drawing on decisions we make ourselves every week.
Current Market Intelligence
We see real-time marketplace dynamics — algorithm changes, fee structures, competitive pricing — because we operate within them.
Tested Operational Playbooks
Every operational recommendation to clients has been validated in our own operations first.
Isolation Principle
The trading division is financially and operationally separate from consulting. Revenue, costs, and margins are tracked independently. Trading activity never influences consulting recommendations.
The Roadmap
Phase 1 — Current
Unbranded trending products via marketplace channels. Focus on capital-efficient inventory cycles (30–45 day turnover). Building toward ₹2Cr annual GMV.
Phase 2 — Post ₹2Cr GMV
Brand representation (D2C). 8–20% commission model. Low inventory risk. Creates case study material for consulting.
The Operator Lab makes our consulting sharper. Want to see how that translates to your business?
