(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nPer a Bain and DSG report, insurgent consumer brands in India generated over $7.5 billion in FY25, growing nearly 4x in five years and outpacing traditional FMCG growth rates.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): insurgent brands are growing into mainstream retail without the legacy FMCG infrastructure. Watch which insurgent brands are moving into wholesale and which are staying pure DTC. The ones moving into retail fastest are likely the ones with the strongest unit economics and customer loyalty metrics. The $7.5B number is a signal that retail buyers in India now see insurgent brands as a growth lever, not a novelty.\nWhat that means for you: This is not 'DTC is growing.' This is 'a new category of brand'—smaller, faster, creator-aligned—has moved from zero to a $7.5B market in five years. In India. The same pattern is live in North America and Europe, just smaller. If you're a brand in that window (1-5 years old, sub-$50M revenue), you're in the insurgent class, and the playbook is: seed creators, hit wholesale, measure retention. The market is validation that the sequence works.\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 — The Hindu Business Line: http://www.bing.com/news/apiclick.aspx?ref=FexRss&aid=&tid=6a4458b1c9774741ac0c2d02d5377f65&url=https%3a%2f%2fwww.thehindubusinessline.com%2fcompanies%2finsurgent-consumer-brands-surpass-75-bn-revenue-in-fy25-grow-nearly-4x-in-five-years-report%2farticle71144712.ece&c=18214849464789923466&mkt=en-us.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
