The Opportunity

GST cuts have made branded FMCG products more affordable, triggering a shift from unbranded to branded consumption — especially in food. Rural areas and tier-2/3 cities lack adequate distribution for branded products at these new price points. Entrepreneurs can build last-mile distribution networks to capture this shift before large corporations do.

Market Size₹18,000 Cr addressable market — estimated annual value of unbranded FMCG consumption moving to branded in rural and semi-urban India

Why NowGST registration (18% slab on FMCG); local trade/wholesale license; shop act compliance for godown; no import duties (domestic FMCG).
