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. ➡️Apply here: https://tally.so/r/mBp7LN #NikhilKamath: Co-founder of Zerodha, True Beacon and Gruhas Follow Nikhil here: Twitter https://x.com/nikhilkamathcio/ Instagram https://www.instagram.com/nikhilkamat...
