(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, India's insurgent consumer brands generated over $7.5 billion in FY25, growing nearly 4x in five years and outpacing traditional FMCG growth rates, per a Bain and DSG report.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): insurgent brands win by starting DTC and staying there longer than traditional CPG. They build email lists and TikTok followers before they ever pitch a buyer. By the time they enter retail, they bring audience, not just SKUs. If you're launching a physical product, do not start with retail outreach — start by building a creator seeding program. Founders that arrive at retail with audience data outrank founders that arrive with just product.\nWhat that means for you: This number is a green light for founders sitting on a product idea. The insurgent playbook works — it's no longer outlier performance, it's the floor in India. Bain doesn't chase every trend; when they publish a $7.5B figure, the market has already moved there. The operators who are winning right now are the ones who see this as proof: your brand does not need to be traditional to scale.\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 via GoodReturns: http://www.bing.com/news/apiclick.aspx?ref=FexRss&aid=&tid=6a5bbf7294fc483e8fd83426639efc58&url=https%3a%2f%2fwww.goodreturns.in%2fnews%2findia-insurgent-consumer-brands-fmcg-report-usd-7-5-billion-fy25-011-1517989.html&c=9567577492201220679&mkt=en-us.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
