Ask a questionContact BharatPeople
Is email marketing still worth it in India?

Yes. Email gives you a direct line to customers that no algorithm controls. It works well for D2C brands, education businesses, B2B and creators, and pairs well with WhatsApp.

Which email tool should I start with?

Pick one with a free or low-cost starter plan, a simple editor, automations and good deliverability. Many tools offer free plans for small lists.

Can I buy an email list?

No. Bought lists hurt deliverability, break consent rules and rarely convert. Build your own list with a useful lead magnet.
