(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 DSG, insurgent consumer brands in India crossed $7.5 billion in FY25 revenue, growing 3.75X in five years and outpacing traditional FMCG growth rates across categories including personal care, home care, and food.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): the growth is not driven by a single brand or a viral moment. It is driven by a cluster of brands executing the same playbook: build in a high-growth market with minimal legacy retail friction, reach customers via digital and social, establish category credibility through third-party validation (ratings, influencer seeding, repeat orders), then expand internationally. If you are building a CPG or consumables brand in 2026, the proof is in India's numbers. Test your core SKU in high-growth digital markets (India, SEA, LatAm) before scaling in North America. The runway is longer and the feedback is faster.\nWhat that means for you: The real takeaway here is not India-specific — it is about where momentum lives. $7.5 billion in one region, grown by brands most U.S. operators have not heard of, in five years. That is where the next wave of tactics will come from. Follow these brands, study their positioning, watch their packaging, track their influencer moves. By the time Western brands copy the playbook, the innovators will be two moves ahead.\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, Hindu Business Line, Rediff): 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?
