What we do

Six ways we bring eyewear to market.

We import, hold stock in Mumbai and supply the people who sell eyewear. Here is who each service is for, and how it works.

Service 01

Distribution and wholesale

We import, clear customs, hold stock in Mumbai and supply opticians, multi-brand stores and distributors.

Who it is for
Opticians, multi-brand stores and distributors, and eyewear brands that want a partner on the ground in India.
How it works
For the brands we bring into India, we handle import and customs clearance, then hold the stock at our office and warehouse in Lalbaug, Mumbai, ready to move. From there we supply premium optical and multi-brand stores, and distributors who serve their own networks. We also supply Ray-Ban and Ray-Ban Meta in Mumbai, as EssilorLuxottica’s authorised distributor. Brand partners get sell-through reporting and honest feedback from the market, so they know how their product is selling.

Service 02

Private label and OEM

Eyewear under your own brand. We work with our manufacturing partners on private label and OEM projects.

Who it is for
Brands, retailers and corporate buyers who want eyewear under their own name.
How it works
Tell us what you have in mind: the styles, the quantities and when you need them. We work with our manufacturing partners to develop and produce the range under your label, as private label or OEM work. Once it is ready, we can hold the stock in Mumbai and supply it through the channels we use every day: wholesale, corporate gifting, rewards platforms and online marketplaces. We share honest feedback along the way, so the range suits your market.

Service 03

Corporate gifting

Sunglasses people actually keep. Bulk orders for festive gifting, welcome kits, dealer contests and long service awards.

Who it is for
Corporate teams choosing gifts for employees, dealers and sales teams.
How it works
Sunglasses make a gift people actually keep and use. We supply bulk orders for the year’s key moments: Diwali and festive gifting, New Year, financial year-end incentives from January to March, and summer campaigns from March to June. We also supply dealer and sales contests, employee welcome kits and long service awards. Our own label, Micelo Martin, is made for everyday wear and for gifting, with a kraft gifting kit or a navy gift box. Every pair of Micelo Martin sunglasses is polarised. For corporate buyers in Mumbai, we also supply Ray-Ban and Ray-Ban Meta.

Service 04

Rewards and loyalty

Ready-to-list ranges for rewards platforms, with drop-ship fulfilment or stock bought outright.

Who it is for
Rewards and loyalty platforms that want to add eyewear to their catalogue.
How it works
We prepare ready-to-list ranges, so a platform can add eyewear without building a range of its own. There are two ways to work with us. With drop-ship fulfilment, the platform lists the products and we send each order to the member. Or the platform buys stock outright. Our own label, Micelo Martin, is already sold through rewards platforms. In Mumbai, we also supply Ray-Ban to rewards partners. Tell us how your platform works, and we will come back with options.

Service 05

Online and marketplaces

Listings and operations across India’s major marketplaces.

Who it is for
Brands that want to sell on India’s major marketplaces, without running the listings and the day-to-day work themselves.
How it works
We list products on the major marketplaces and run the operations behind those listings. For brand partners, this sits alongside wholesale, corporate and rewards channels, so online is part of one plan rather than a separate project. Our own label, Micelo Martin, is sold this way, on the marketplaces and on micelomartin.com. As with every channel, we share sell-through reporting and honest feedback on how each product is doing.

Service 06

Export

Micelo Martin for overseas buyers. We welcome enquiries from around the world.

Who it is for
Buyers outside India who want to carry Micelo Martin, our own label.
How it works
Export is for Micelo Martin only. The label is made for everyday wear and for gifting. In India it sells through corporate gifting, rewards platforms, online marketplaces and micelomartin.com. We welcome enquiries from buyers around the world. Tell us about your market and how you sell, and we will come back with options.
