(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nBain and DSG report shows India's insurgent consumer brands (new, founder-led direct-to-consumer and hybrid brands) generated over $7.5 billion in FY25, growing nearly 4x over five years and outpacing legacy FMCG, per reports from Good Returns and Rediff.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): if you're building in an emerging market (India, Southeast Asia, Latin America), the insurgent-brand tail wind is real and measurable. The $7.5B number is not fringe; it's outpacing traditional FMCG. Speed to market, founder authenticity, and DTC efficiency compound faster in these markets. Study the winning insurgent brands in India (Mamaearth, Boat, SUGAR, Foxtale); replicate the playbook in your own category. The window is open now.\nWhat that means for you: The US and UK have been waiting for the '···············' of CPG brands to emerge. India already did. Four-year-old companies are hitting billion-dollar revenue. The playbook works: founder-led, digital-first, lean operations, rapid iteration. If you're sitting in the US watching margins compress, it's worth studying what's working in India and asking if the same playbook applies to your category here.\nIf you make, sell, or gift anything with your name on it — this is yours to run. You can do this.\n(Real, not theory — Good Returns / Rediff: https://www.goodreturns.in/news/india-insurgent-consumer-brands-fmcg-report-usd-7-5-billion-fy25-011-1517989.html.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
