(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nA Bain and DSG report documented that insurgent consumer brands in India generated over $7.5 billion in FY25, with compounded growth that outpaced traditional FMCG by 3.75x over five years.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): a $7.5B market moving 3.75x faster than FMCG means consumer attention is shifting to brands with speed and narrative momentum. In a fragmenting market, the incumbent advantage of scale becomes a liability — slow to redesign, slow to launch variants, slow to listen. If you're launching a physical product in a category, watch the India insurgent story. Brands like Yogabar, Boult, and ITC's Aashirvaad faced no reason to exist five years ago. Today they're category leaders. The pattern: own a micro-segment with obsessive depth instead of chasing everyone. In the US, this plays as: find the 2–3 million people who care deeply about *your specific thing*, own their entire experience, and let the network grow from obsession, not advertising spend.\nWhat that means for you: The India story is a time-lapse of what's happening everywhere: categories are shattering. Your competitor is not the brand next to you on the shelf — it's the insurgent that doesn't yet have a shelf. Bain's $7.5B number is the proof that fragmentation is real and capital is flowing toward it. If you're in a category where an insurgent brand could exist, they probably will soon. The move is to narrow your target, own them completely, and ship faster than anyone else.\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 — Bain & Company / DSG Report (Good Returns): 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?
