Description

It's easy to start in India but very difficult to scale in India.

This 3.5-hour podcast will cover everything you need to know about scaling a fashion, beauty, or home brand from zero to the first 20 crores, and then to 100 crores and beyond.

We have the most requested podcast guest - Kishore Biyani BACK to drop some knowledge bombs. We also have Raj, who took the route of "digital-first" for his business expansion, and Ananth, who decoded e-commerce and marketplaces first.

They delve deep into every important aspect one should know for scaling a brand, such as brand names, logos, category selection, performance marketing, SEO, growth hacking, marketplace strategies, distribution decisions, and community building.

It will be a crash course for anyone who wants to take his/her brand from 0 to 1.



If you’re below 22 and are working on building a brand from 0 to 1 in fashion, beauty, or home, here’s the chance for that support you’ve been looking for from India’s best business minds.
