(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nBain and Company reported insurgent consumer brands in India generated over $7.5 billion in FY25, growing nearly 4x in five years and outpacing traditional FMCG, per Good Returns and Rediff Money.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): insurgent brands win by building a community inside the product category, not by outspending legacy incumbents. They do not try to out-advertise or out-distribute. They move faster on product iteration, respond to community feedback directly, and keep brand narrative tied to founder voice. The growth rate is outpacing FMCG because the cost of reaching the customer is lower — community and word-of-mouth do the work of traditional advertising. If you are a founder-led brand, this is proof the model scales to billions in a single market.\nWhat that means for you: A 4x growth rate over five years is not luck. This is insurgent brands solving the unit economics that legacy FMCG cannot: founder-led voice, direct community, rapid iteration. India is ahead of the US and EU on this — the model is proven. For a founder in the US or Europe reading this, the playbook exists: build community inside the product category, let founders stay visible, move faster on iteration than the incumbents. The scale is there.\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?
