(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 Company report cited by multiple outlets, insurgent consumer brands in India generated over $7.5 billion in FY25 and have grown nearly 4x in five years, now outpacing traditional FMCG growth.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): the insurgent playbook works at scale in price-sensitive markets when you own a specific problem better than the incumbent. These brands didn't out-spend traditional FMCG; they out-focused it. Pick a sub-category, own the founder story, build on digital first, then move to retail. The data proves the model holds from $100M to $1B+ revenue.\nWhat that means for you: This report matters because it proves the insurgent model is not a US-only phenomenon or a temporary viral phenomenon. It's a structural business model that works in emerging markets too. The speed of growth suggests network effects are real — word-of-mouth and social proof compound faster than traditional media. If you're in CPG, this is your market map for the next three years.\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 & Rediff Money: 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?
