Growth Catalyst to emerging FMCG Brands | On a mission to build 10K ‘Super Brands’ | ex - Godrej, Reckitt, Mondelez, Henkel

Do you own or manage an emerging FMCG business? 

Do you look at the big brands from the big companies and aspire to build one yourself, if only you had the money?

What if I told you that it is simpler than you think and that you already have all the money you need to build your own Super Brand? 

No really.

----------------------------------

➡️  With close to 2 decades in the business, I have worked across sales, marketing, strategy and innovation with big brand FMCG companies across the world where I built and served multiple iconic brands.

➡️  I have worked with big and small brands alike to know that it is more about the mindset than any amount of money that enables these mega brands.

➡️  I now use my training and experience from the big box global companies to create ‘Super Brands’ out of emerging FMCG businesses.

----------------------------------

At Vitral, we work with emerging businesses to:

✅  Accelerate growth, profitably.

✅  Insulate the business from external economic and market forces.

✅  Build ‘Super Brands’ that are empowered to win against even the biggest competition.

There are no hacks, tricks or over night success formulae here. We do this by giving you the right tools, processes and more importantly the mindset to doggedly pursue the ambition.

We engage with businesses in a couple of ways.

💡 Consulting - An extensive 3 stage process of Diagnosis, Development and Deployment. This is typically for businesses seeking brand transformations / restructuring.

💡 Workshops - Proven, Powerful and Efficient ways for owners and custodians of emerging businesses to resolve specific Brand bottle necks swiftly to deliver immediate results.

----------------------------------

👉🏽 SUPER BRANDS are those Brands that become synonymous with their category in a specific market of operation.

👉🏽 A business that is larger than a freshly minted start-up operation, yet not a fully established business giant, is what we call an EMERGING BUSINESSES. In terms of annual revenue, they'd be ≥ ₹25crs.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"eChai isn’t just a startup community … it’s a mindset . eChai has been one of the most impactful communities in my entrepreneurial journey. It’s been a turning point . In a world where building something can often feel isolating, eChai gave me a sense of belonging. I’ve found mentors, collaborators, and friends here — people who genuinely want to see you succeed. It’s a space where ideas are challenged, actions are celebrated, and founders grow not just in scale, but in clarity and confidence. From late-night ideas to early-morning pitches, this community has quietly but powerfully shaped the way I build, think, and dream. I’ll always be grateful for the way eChai creates spaces where founders don’t just grow businesses — they grow together."

"The eChai platform has been super valuable for me - it has helped me gain a deeper understanding of domains in the startup and tech ecosystem. What stands out most is the celebration of knowledge, professional growth, and entrepreneurship - it’s one of the best for the Indian ecosystem. Along the way, I’ve also been fortunate to make some great friendships and connections too."

“I have no hesitation in saying that my association with eChai has been a gateway into the startup ecosystem. Through this platform, I’ve had the opportunity to connect with many young and dynamic entrepreneurs. These interactions have been immensely enriching - I’ve learned a great deal and have always tried to offer guidance whenever approached. It’s a truly symbiotic relationship that I deeply value, and it wouldn’t have been possible without eChai.”
