I tried 26 Indian D2C (Direct-to-consumer) brands in 52 weeks!

{list below}

-> Because D2C brands are able to directly establish a relationship with the consumer, they are able to provide greater personalization & faster TAT for after-sales issues. I have personally interacted with many co-founders of these brands after purchase to provide feedback.
-> Lack of infrastructure shackles allows these brands to increase their CACs & rope in consumers with cashbacks, rewards, subscriptions, and other gifting bundles. Brands have also collaborated together in the form of cross-overs (Dope x Svami, The Whole Truth x KC Roasters).
-> I personally discovered half of these brands through @CRED_club. CRED claims that their 3 million members spend as much as 40% higher than average consumers. If this holds true, CRED Pay, launched in collaboration with @Razorpay, is a golden opportunity for D2C brands.
-> The craft coffee revolution has reached India. Newer flavours, blends, roast profiles, and the finer subtleties of coffee are finding takers. Here's a tweet from @miten highlighting some of these amazing brands on CRED.

P.P.S. I have a podcast where I have interacted with the founders of Indian D2C brands & other Indian startups.🚀

Patriotism is an interesting concept in that it’s excepted to mean something positive to all of us and certainly seen as a morally marketable trait that can fit into any definition you want for it.+


Tolstoy, found it both stupid and immoral. It is stupid because every patriot holds his own country to be the best, which obviously negates all other countries.+

It is immoral because it enjoins us to promote our country’s interests at the expense of all other countries, employing any means, including war. It is thus at odds with the most basic rule of morality, which tells us not to do to others what we would not want them to do to us+

My sincere belief is that patriotism of a personal nature, which does not impede on personal and physical liberties of any other, is not only welcome but perhaps somewhat needed.

But isn’t adherence to a more humane code of life much better than nationalistic patriotism?+

Göring said, “people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.”+
