(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 found India's insurgent consumer brands generated over $7.5 billion in FY25, growing 3.75x in five years and outpacing traditional FMCG, per Good Returns and Rediff Money.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): if you're building in India, insurgent is the category leaders are now funding and acquiring from. The $7.5B number is proof the category has structural advantages—lower CAC, faster iteration, retail optionality. If you're fundraising or seeking acquisition, cite the Bain report and position as insurgent, not startup.\nWhat that means for you: Three years ago 'insurgent brands' was a VC pitch deck word. Now it's a $7.5 billion category outpacing FMCG. The report just turned founder-led from risky into macro-backed. If you're selling a physical product in India and have traction, you have tailwinds the market is finally pricing in.\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 / Bain & Company: 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?
