(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nPer Rediff MoneyWiz, India's insurgent brands collectively reached $7.5 billion in revenue and grew at 4x the category rate over five years, outpacing traditional incumbents.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): insurgent growth in emerging markets often begins not with innovation but with redistribution. You don't invent a new category; you take an existing one (cosmetics, apparel, food) and reach a segment the incumbent priced out or ignored. Test this: identify the top 3 brands in your category in a tier-2 or tier-3 market (outside your home country). Audit their prices, their product range, and the customer reviews calling them 'too expensive' or 'not for my skin.' That gap is your entry point.\nWhat that means for you: insurgent growth in emerging markets often begins not with innovation but with redistribution.
