Tapuya Brands, is one of the newest acquirers of Shopify & Amazon third-party private label businesses in the ever-growing Amazon FBA aggregator market. In a space with many recent entrants, Tapuya differentiates itself by focusing on strategic acquisitions of Amazon brands with a strong presence on the Amazon platform, but little or no direct-to-consumer (D2C) sales. It uses its own proprietary technology to create consumer-centric brands with increased value in brand equity.
Tapuya Brands focuses on consumer shopping behavior and Amazon sellers who have a direct relationship with their customer base. “Using our proprietary AI systems to deliver bespoke customer segmentation and targeting, Tapuya drives higher brand equity, cross-channel penetration, and ad performance for the businesses we choose to partner with,” said Arik Oganesian, Co-Founder and CDO of Tapuya Brands.
