The company sells directly through its website and through marketplaces like Flipkart, Amazon, Meesho, and Tata Cliq.

Gaurav Agarwal, Co-founder of Nat Habit stated that unlike many other businesses that rely solely on marketplaces, Nat Habit was able to establish the brand exclusively through its website with only 10% of revenue flowing from marketplaces.
