There’s a lot of media attention around early stage brands scaling rapidly.

However, sustainable growth underpinned by strong fundamentals is often overlooked.

To celebrate brands that master this balance, we launched the Insurgex Index in collaboration with @BainandCompany

[DSG Consumer Partners @DSGCP]

The Insurgex Index focuses on fundamental metrics of revenue growth trajectory and capital efficiency.

In FY23, 24 standout brands across F&B, Beauty, Apparel, and more met this high standard, with 3-year CAGRs over 30% and capital efficiency of 1.5x or higher.

Thank you for the shout out and a great summary of our recent work with @BainandCompany

[Rahul Mathur @Rahul_J_Mathur]

If you’re building a consumer brand out of India, I would highly recommend reading the 2nd edition of the Insurgex report by DSG Consumer Partners.

Per DSG, 3000+ consumer brands have been created in India in the past 15 years (that is almost one per day!) - with over 1,000 F&B focused brands

Whenever I get a chance to present the company, my happiest point is almost towards the end - the team slide - where I say “I am standing here taking credit for the most phenomenal team in the world”, and then go on to talk about my brilliant co-founders, the @leverageedu management team, & the next-level leadership (which we internally call Team A2) which executes razor-sharp all day all night long!

Amidst the market, the moats, the macros etc etc - nothing is as special as a unit that works hard, with incredible work ethic & wants to win doing the right thing 🙏🏼👊🏽

We tell our portfolio companies to first focus on people and prosperity without which there can be no sustainable business development, something that is even more salient in the developing regions we invest in.
