(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nPer Bain and DSG report, insurgent consumer brands in India reached over $7.5 billion in FY25, growing 3.75x in five years and outpacing traditional FMCG.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): build for a subculture or identity group, not a mass category. These brands won by speaking to a specific audience (young, urban, values-conscious) and letting that tribe recruit. Legacy FMCG still thinks in volume; insurgent brands think in affinity. Start with one community, nail the voice, let them become your sales team. The math proves it works faster than paid media alone.\nWhat that means for you: This is not happening in the US only. The insurgent playbook — niche community, direct relationship, rapid iteration, owned voice — is outrunning century-old distribution everywhere. The gap in India is stark because legacy FMCG still owns retail shelves there. But the money is moving to the young brands anyway. If you're a US physical-product brand and you're still thinking 'get on Target,' you're watching someone else's playbook win.\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 (via 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?
