(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nPer Bain & Company / Hindu Business Line, Indian insurgent consumer brands (challengers to established FMCG) generated over $7.5 billion in FY25, growing nearly 4x in five years and now outpacing traditional FMCG growth rates.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): the market is now splitting between incumbent legacy brands and insurgent challengers. If you're launching a consumer product in 2026, your narrative is not 'better version of the old thing'; it's 'completely different category logic.' Insurgent brands win by reframing the problem (e.g., 'toxins in skincare' instead of 'better skincare'). The growth rate at scale proves the strategy works. Position against the old category, not within it.\nWhat that means for you: India's insurgent-brand growth is a leading indicator for U.S. and global markets. The $7.5 billion in revenue proves challenger brands are no longer niche. They're the new center. If you're building a consumer brand and you're not thinking about how your positioning directly challenges the incumbent category story, you're already behind.\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 / Hindu Business Line: https://www.thehindubusinessline.com/companies/insurgent-consumer-brands-surpass-75-bn-revenue-in-fy25-grow-nearly-4x-in-five-years-report/article71144712.ece.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
