US Economic Outlook - Being Decided - M Capital Group August 2021.pdfpchutichetpong
The U.S. economy is continuing its impressive recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and not slowing down despite re-occurring bumps. The U.S. savings rate reached its highest ever recorded level at 34% in April 2020 and Americans seem ready to spend. The sectors that had been hurt the most by the pandemic specifically reduced consumer spending, like retail, leisure, hospitality, and travel, are now experiencing massive growth in revenue and job openings.
Could this growth lead to a “Roaring Twenties”? As quickly as the U.S. economy contracted, experiencing a 9.1% drop in economic output relative to the business cycle in Q2 2020, the largest in recorded history, it has rebounded beyond expectations. This surprising growth seems to be fueled by the U.S. government’s aggressive fiscal and monetary policies, and an increase in consumer spending as mobility restrictions are lifted. Unemployment rates between June 2020 and June 2021 decreased by 5.2%, while the demand for labor is increasing, coupled with increasing wages to incentivize Americans to rejoin the labor force. Schools and businesses are expected to fully reopen soon. In parallel, vaccination rates across the country and the world continue to rise, with full vaccination rates of 50% and 14.8% respectively.
However, it is not completely smooth sailing from here. According to M Capital Group, the main risks that threaten the continued growth of the U.S. economy are inflation, unsettled trade relations, and another wave of Covid-19 mutations that could shut down the world again. Have we learned from the past year of COVID-19 and adapted our economy accordingly?
“In order for the U.S. economy to continue growing, whether there is another wave or not, the U.S. needs to focus on diversifying supply chains, supporting business investment, and maintaining consumer spending,” says Grace Feeley, a research analyst at M Capital Group.
While the economic indicators are positive, the risks are coming closer to manifesting and threatening such growth. The new variants spreading throughout the world, Delta, Lambda, and Gamma, are vaccine-resistant and muddy the predictions made about the economy and health of the country. These variants bring back the feeling of uncertainty that has wreaked havoc not only on the stock market but the mindset of people around the world. MCG provides unique insight on how to mitigate these risks to possibly ensure a bright economic future.

• Real GDP growth slowed down due to problems with access to electricity caused by the destruction of manoeuvrable electricity generation by Russian drones and missiles.
• Exports and imports continued growing due to better logistics through the Ukrainian sea corridor and road. Polish farmers and drivers stopped blocking borders at the end of April.
• In April, both the Tax and Customs Services over-executed the revenue plan. Moreover, the NBU transferred twice the planned profit to the budget.
• The European side approved the Ukraine Plan, which the government adopted to determine indicators for the Ukraine Facility. That approval will allow Ukraine to receive a EUR 1.9 bn loan from the EU in May. At the same time, the EU provided Ukraine with a EUR 1.5 bn loan in April, as the government fulfilled five indicators under the Ukraine Plan.
• The USA has finally approved an aid package for Ukraine, which includes USD 7.8 bn of budget support; however, the conditions and timing of the assistance are still unknown.
• As in March, annual consumer inflation amounted to 3.2% yoy in April.
• At the April monetary policy meeting, the NBU again reduced the key policy rate from 14.5% to 13.5% per annum.

As of my last update, Pi is still in the testing phase and is not tradable on any exchanges.
However, Pi Network has announced plans to launch its Testnet and Mainnet in the future, which may include listing Pi on exchanges.
The current method for selling pi coins involves exchanging them with a pi vendor who purchases pi coins for investment reasons.
If you want to sell your pi coins, reach out to a pi vendor and sell them to anyone looking to sell pi coins from any country around the globe.

21. Marwah Financial provides premium services from Mutual
Funds Distribution to Real Estate Advisory. We are driven
by a passion for touching lives and not just managing the
client's wealth. We believe that this would happen only if
we are able to disengage our clients from the arduous task
of managing their wealth.
In this interview, Abhishek Marwah is the Founder
and CEO of Marwah Financial takes us through an
interesting journey with his company.
1. Brief us about the Company journey of rich
experience – origin, inception, early issues, success
stories, and major milestones, to name a few.
My journey from developing interest in the financial
markets to setting up my own company has been very
satisfying yet extremely challenging. Any new business
goes through a lot of challenges from arranging finances to
having the right people on board to creating a niche and
acceptance for the products and services. But in fact all
these challenges and overcoming these challenges is what
makes the whole experience extremely satisfying. During
my journey, I have formed important partnerships, created
a qualified and competent team of people; I have set up the
required systems and procedures in my organization to
make it customer-centric and operationally efficient. Right
now my biggest challenge is to build a team of passionate
and capable people to take the business on to the
aggressive expansion path.
Driven by an entirely investor-centric approach, the
organization today is a suitable mix of investment
expertise, resource bandwidth and process orientation.
Marwah Financial endeavors to simplify its investor's
journey to meet their financial goals, and give a good
investment experience through innovation, consistency and
sustained risk-adjusted performance. Core to our any
services is our customer needs and requirements which
separates us from other firms who believe in just selling
financial products. We follow due diligence after knowing
our customer expectation and after understanding their risk
appetite we blend different financial instruments for
maximum wealth creation with minimal risk.
We have over 1000 marquee clients. We have both
domestic and NRI clients. Furthermore, we deliver our
services primarily from Delhi/NCR. We focus on
executives working in the corporate sector as they
understand and value the importance of professional
financial advice as proper financial planning is intertwined
with all our future lifetime family & personal goals.
Abhishek Marwah is the Founder and CEO at Marwah
Financial Services. Abhishek has done many professional
certifications in financial markets in equities, derivatives,
commodities, financial advisory and more. He is also a
certified professional financial advisor (CPFA), NSE
certified market professional (NCMP) and AMFI certified
mutual fund advisor.
We are a one-stop solution for all financial needs, services
across different asset classes like Mutual Funds, Corporate
& Government Bonds, Equity, Real Estate Advisory etc.
2. Brief us about the CEO/Founder of the Company.
During his graduation days, he noticed that the financial
service sector was the sector prone to hard selling and
miss-selling, a service which everyone needs from a
service class employee to a high net-worth investor (HNI).
Being from a middle class family and having his father
from a banking background, Abhishek immediately spotted
an opportunity to create a customer-focused and service-
oriented firm in the sector. Hence, he founded Marwah
Financial in 2008 to offer affordable and authentic
investment advice. The industry which then set off late has
started to move from a sales oriented to advisory oriented
industry. Still now, the importance of financial planning
cannot be ignored by the founder in these times of volatile
markets and economic instability.

9. What advice would you give to the upcoming
entrepreneurs and professionals?
Believe in your idea and in your dream. There is nothing
more satisfying in the world to see your idea, your dream
becomes a reality. The biggest challenge is to find
competent people who can mirror the kind of enthusiasm
and motivation you have about your venture.
8. With respect to your distinctive products and
services, how have you helped bring positive
developments in the Finance industry?
We are working towards two fronts. First to diversify the
geographic base of the clients, nationally and
internationally. We are looking at setting a branch in Dubai
to tap the broader NRI market. Secondly, we are working
on providing the best tech-based customer interface to our
clients, by doing the relevant tie-ups with different tech
firms.
The main benefit, I would describe, is that the clients are
assured of trust, which is extremely important in a
fiduciary relationship. The main idea of having an advisor
is the understanding that the customers can focus on their
core work/job/business and leaving the money
management to experts, who are carefully watching and
scanning the dynamic investment environment.

25. In this interview, Nikhil Vora is the Founder and CEO of
Sixth Sense Ventures Advisors LLP takes us through an
interesting journey with his company.
Q. Brief us about the Company journey of rich experience –
origin, inception, early issues, success stories, and major
milestones, to name a few.
Sixth Sense Ventures is India's first domestic, consumer-focused
venture fund that is investing in the Consumer of
Tomorrow…Today!
Sixth Sense Ventures backs first generation entrepreneurs and
invests in the consumer of tomorrow. Most importantly, Sixth
Sense has become the preferred partner for consumer-focused
businesses.
The core of Sixth Sense lies in the belief that the next big wave of
dysfunctional growth will be led by players who are going to be
driven by completely different skill sets / capabilities and not
necessarily capital. Three pillars defined the founding of Sixth
Sense: (a) leverage our knowledge of the consumer centric spaces
to help first generation entrepreneurs in disrupting traditional
categories (b) bring our entire ecosystem onto an organized
platform which in turn
Sixth Sense was launched in Feb 2014 as India's first consumer
venture fund, with a single objective to be the most credible
venture fund in India, investing in the Consumer of
Tomorrow…Today! Seven years on, and it's been an incredible
journey. As we look back, it's very humbling to reminisce our
interestingly 7 milestones:
would help our investees (c) extend the validation achieved in the
angel portfolio, to identify the right founders who are building
products/services for the consumer of tomorrow.
3. First fund to offer a 0% management fee option
1. First venture fund to return capital back within 2.5 years
4. Best Fundraiser of 2018 – raised over 2X the target corpus
5. Highest VC Exit by IRR 2019
2. Youngest fund to raise capital from Ministry of Commerce
6. Best Early-Stage VC 2020 and Most Outstanding VC Fund
2021
7. One of the best performing AIFs in India – SSIO I
outperformed peers by 3X, and SSIO II outperformed peers by
4X (CRISIL)
Q. Brief us about the CEO/Founder of the Company.
Nikhil Vora is a Consumer & Finance industry veteran with over
28 years of experience. Nikhil is the Founder and CEO of Sixth
Sense Ventures Advisors LLP – India's first domestic consumer
venture fund. Sixth Sense backs first generation entrepreneurs
and invests in the consumer of tomorrow…today! Most
importantly, Sixth Sense has become the preferred partner for
Security, Changing DNA (of organizations) and If I Were (based
on strategies consumer companies should adopt).
Along with advising clients, he also has been an angel investor
and on the board of a few of his investee companies. Some of the
Venture Investments made by Nikhil includes – One97 (Paytm),
Vini Cosmetics (Fogg), Parag Milk Foods (Go), Kangaroo Kids,
BVG, Techfront, Purplle, InCred, Bewakoof, Saucery, ENpower,
Pariksha, Expertrons, Lido, and Fintso.
The first fund, Sixth Sense India Opportunities I (SSIO I), a 2016
vintage, invested the entire corpus of Rs.118Cr. in 10 companies
across the consumer value chain. SSIO I is already at 2.5X, and
Sixth Sense has achieved a rare feat of possibly being the first
VC fund in India to return capital back to its investors within
2.5 years of closing the fund, that too from just 4 exits (7 exits
total).
A post-graduate in Management, Nikhil is an alumni Future
Leaders Program at the Saïd Business School, University of
Oxford, London. He was also bestowed with the 'Thought
Leadership' award by IDFC Ltd.
In the Asia Money polls 2012, Nikhil was voted as India's
No.1 analyst. He also has the rare distinction of being voted
Asia's Best Analyst by the Wall Street Journal in the same
year.
Q. Kindly talk about the exclusive products or services
offered by the Company, How does it distinguish you from
your competitors?
9 months, despite the volatility in the markets. SSIO II, a Dec
2018 vintage, has invested in 14 companies, out of which 10 have
raised the next round.
SSIO II, our second fund closed at Rs.515Cr., more than
double our target corpus of Rs.250Cr. on the back of
enthusiastic investor interest. Sixth Sense achieved this feat in a
record
Nikhil was earlier the Managing Director & Head of Research at
IDFC Securities and has been regarded as one of the strongest
analytical minds in the country. Nikhil has been invited by Nestle
Global, Unilever, Aditya Birla Group, Marico, Godrej etc. to
evolve a strategic roadmap for their businesses. He excels in
identifying emerging consumer trends and his research has been
accredited by some of the largest global funds like Capital,
Fidelity, Alliance Bernstein, Putnam, Schroder's etc. Some of his
work includes differentiated presentations on Food
consumer-focused businesses, as Nikhil and Sixth Sense would
want its DNA to be that of founders-first (and how they would
run their business), and less as investors.

That's pretty ironic, I (Nikhil Vora) keep thinking about this. I
have spent almost 90% of my working life in listed market, was
25 years in listed market and yet when I look at the market, I feel
that India is at the zone where listed businesses are pretty much
businesses which are mature and lived their life cycle. The ability
to innovate and disrupt existing businesses is found to be
The market behavior that one has seen over the last three to four
years, while it pains all of us, our investors also, but it doesn't
really surprise me so much. This is something which was just
waiting to happen. It happened faster than what one should have
envisaged, but I don't see that changing drastically. I am not
implying market momentum, but I think businesses slowly will
erode unless and until they change and disrupt. I don't see the
ability to disrupt existing leadership to be of a very high order or
it's in a very few spaces, but I see that happening at a galloping
space in private companies, private entrepreneurs, first generation
entrepreneurs who are really taking this opportunity to disrupt
market leaders. That's the reason why Sixth Sense was formed.
wanting. I don't see them playing the disruptor role, which is so
critical in a market like India, where disruption is seen as an apt
thing to do. I keep reflecting this, if I look at Fortune 500 and I
have talked about this often. I see 90 percent of them die or
become irrelevant over a period of time. I see listed market in
India pretty much symbolic of Fortune 500 companies. They die
or become irrelevant over a decade in cycle.
Q. What is the vision and mission of the Company?
Vision:
Be the first call for founders disrupting the consumer landscape,
and partner with them to build the future together.
Mission”
Sixth Sense Ventures was founded on the back of a single core
belief – to create the most credible consumer fund in the country.
Credibility has to percolate in everything that we do – be it our
investment philosophy, our business model or our investments.
Anywhere in the world, if a business doesn't deliver, it doesn't
make money – but fund management is the only business where
you make money even if you do a mediocre job. To break this
norm, we launched, for the first time in India, a 0% management
fee fund, in an industry where the 2-20 structure has been a norm
for decades. You only pay for performance – hopefully, that's
how the next-generation of funds will operate. Also, in fund
management, a 25-30% is an acceptable hit ratio but not for us,
our target is almost 100%.
Q. What is the present scenario of the financial sector? How
are you contributing to making it better?
The listed space is either dying or will be dead soon, those
companies will probably not create value.
My fear and this true in a lot of industries, look at print for
example, I have looked at that space not a single print player and
we are talking about large existing players like the Bennett
Group, Times. Look at HT for example, Jagran, so the top 3-4
players and not a single player and I am being critical of them.
Not a single player has innovated and disrupted how print should
be in India for the next 10 years, how Indian consumers will
consume print over next 10 years. They are not going to consume
print by reading a newspaper any more or that is becoming
slightly irrelevant over a period of time. You have seen players
evolve in that category. So, Inshorts has evolved whereas the
leaders have not really done the development.
It may well be that the current set of examples that we are seeing
in the listed space are not doing so because being listed is not a
pre- requisite to not be disruptive. At some point of time over
next 2-4 years even large listed companies could probably throw
out a niche or two could be disruptive and change the model.
There will be exceptions. But when I look at broader businesses
in our country right now, look at banking. You have a dominant
leader in State Bank of India or HDFC Bank, but the disruption
in financial services is not being led by an SBI and HDFC It is
being led by players outside that context. It's being led by a new
age consumer finance company let's say Bajaj, which has evolved
in last 7- 8 years, or Paytm in some form or lot of other fintech
companies as we look at it. Disruption in financial services,
which should ideally have been led by existing leaders is not
being done by them.
Look at auto, very interesting example. In world where top 3 auto
companies actually lose money, the GMs, the Fords and the
Chryslers of the world actually lose money. You have it in India
where the largest players the Tata's, Mahindra, Maruti for
instance have done practically zero innovation or zero disruption
in the category. Auto is a space which is getting disrupted almost
completely with the advent of the Olas and the Ubers of the
world. Ironically, I remember, Mr. Mahindra at some stage
talking about the fact that they will have consumption issues
We thought we will invest in disruptors in consumer space.
Existing players, existing listed companies even if they are
leaders, their ability to maintain leadership and sustain value that
leadership is going to be extremely challenging. You will have
exceptions, but I believe exceptions don't make the rule.
Disruption in consumer businesses, which is close to my heart, is
not being led by Unilevers of the world or ITCs or the Colgates
of the world, its being led by new age businesses who are doing it
in spaces which they are very comfortable in, but the more they
get comfortable in particular niche, the ability to do scale
becomes more apparent. So, a Unilever is not disrupting the
space or ITC is not doing it. You see newer players, a Veeba is
doing it in some form. You start to see it in Bira for instance, I am
being biased because we own stakes in these companies. Bira is
doing it in alcoholic liquor space and Parag is doing it in milk
and so on. These are all relatively new age businesses which have
evolved, and you will see lot many develop.

Today, brand awareness is at the highest while brand loyalty is at
the lowest in our country. Moreover, India is the most over-
retailed yet the most under-penetrated brand market in the world.
Disruption in modes of distribution and marketing, the two core
pillars of brand- building, is further supplementing this. The
result – businesses are being able to walk a longer mile with a far
more efficient use of capital. Consumer brands are clearly in a
sweet-spot!
Business lifecycles are turning shorter – successful business
cycles have reduced from 30 years to 15 years. Hence, we want
to invest in businesses that have a longer lifecycle of their own.
What we invest in today, will not be the same 3-5 years down the
line. Hence, it is extremely important to invest in the right
founders, who are just 6-12 months ahead of the curve. If we get
Depth in the Indian consumer market was missing for the last 5-6
decades. The market has been symbolized by a duopoly, even
though there is no IP attached. This has happened because of the
fear of taking on the distribution of FMCG giants. Not anymore,
with ecommerce, innovations in distribution, and digitization –
new brands are now able to take on leaders. Leaders of tomorrow
are getting born today. As buying habits and brand preferences
change – a great measure will be to foresee changes in consumer
behavior patterns over the next 5-10 years. Businesses will need
to evolve to become relevant for the consumer of tomorrow,
today.
There are large consumer categories that already exist and thus
offer a strong opportunity. Leaders of yesterday will NOT be the
leaders of tomorrow. We believe challengers will shake the
leaders in these spaces to carve out market share. Our intent is to
identify and partner with such disruptors, operating in the largest
and most sticky consumer categories in India.
because the sharing capability of Ola and Uber will increase and
thereby people will not own cars. I fail to understand why a
forward looking corporate like Mahindra could have not created
an Ola in India.
The Great Indian Consumption Story is crystallising rapidly and
in India, consumption has been outperforming all other sectors.
While all other firms are either sector-agnostic or technology-
focused, Sixth Sense has stayed true to its cause of being a
consumer fund, not getting swayed by trends. Thus, giving us an
unfair advantage over trend investing.
Sixth Sense invests in first-generation entrepreneurs who are
disrupting large, sticky consumer categories and carving a niche
for themselves. There are two types of businesses – innovators
and disruptors. Innovation in India is a challenging task as the
environment is not very conducive. We like to invest in
disruption – there is a market that has already been created and an
opportunity that already exists – all one has to do is shake the
leaders. We may not participate in businesses just because we
might get a great value – values are very transient. We want to
invest in founders with whom we can create great value with!
SSIO-II, our second fund closed at Rs.515Cr., more than double
our target corpus of Rs.250Cr. on the back of enthusiastic
investor interest. Furthermore, while other funds struggled to
raise capital, Sixth Sense achieved this feat in a record 9 months,
despite the volatility in the markets. This demonstrates the
pressing need in the market for an alternative investment product
with a unique approach.
that line of sight, we're on the right track.
Q. What are the marketing strategies adopted by Company?
The most preferred partner for consumer startups and companies
and India's best performing fund.
Q. How do you portray the future of the Company in the next
decade?
Q. With respect to your distinctive products and services, how
have you helped bring positive developments in the Finance
industry?
While it took almost 10 years for the first 4 unicorns to get
created in India, the next 20 unicorns have been created in less
than 5 years! The venture space is clearly coming-of-age and our
ethos of “investing in the consumers of tomorrow” is helping
us lead the charge in the consumption space through a focussed
approach. This has resulted in the Ministry of Commerce
(through its investing arm, SIDBI) investing in Sixth Sense. It
was heartening to see The Ministry of Commerce come in as an
anchor investor, furthermore for a young fund such as ours. They
had invested in the first fund, and on the back of Sixth Sense's
exemplary performance, they invested 5X in the second fund.
Furthermore, leading family offices, top corporate leaders and
eminent personalities in the country have invested in the fund,
along with HNIs.
Q. What advice would you give to the upcoming
entrepreneurs and professionals?
Sixth Sense invests in first-generation entrepreneurs who are
disrupting large, sticky consumer categories and carving a niche
for themselves. There are two types of businesses – innovators
and disruptors. Innovation in India is a challenging task as the
environment is not very conducive. We like to invest in

leaders. We may not participate in businesses just because we
might get a great value – values are very transient. We want to
invest in founders with whom we can create great value with!
Businesses struggle when they don't have demand, here,
ironically, we have all leaders who are struggling because they
could not cope with the relevant supply that the consumer was
wanting. They have demand. A banking channel has demand
that's why you are talking about unbanked bank, microfinance
and tertiary banking and so on. Auto has it, Ola and Uber are
28. So, I think what investors, all of us need to really look at which is
while there can mayhem in listed space, there is opportunity
We believe that the leaders will struggle to grow beyond where
they are. They will not grow meaningfully. If they don't grow
meaningfully then they have to let go of what is tertiary to them
because they have to grow and keep sustaining their brands and
so on. They will protect their 60 percent ROI business which is
brands and let great opportunity we thought will happen. We have
invested in company called Hindustan Foods which has now
become possibly the largest consumer contracting company in
India in 3 years. We have invested in JHS, we sold that at 7 times,
but we have invested in it which is largest oral care
manufacturing company in India. They control 15 percent of oral
care. I think it was about opportunity in businesses. Whereas the
largest players in the businesses will get disrupted or are not
changing too much for their own good, we thought there is still
an opportunity.
If I look at consumer businesses or frankly any business for that
matter, while everything around us has possibly collapsed by 50
percent if not more over the last 3 years, we have invested in two
listed companies in the same period. We have made 7 times and
10 times the money in two listed companies in the same period.
Not saying we did something earth shattering, but the fact is that
there are pockets of businesses and sponsors which we think are
playing the disruptions which the leaders are not able to do, and
they can't participate in that disruption. So, for instance we
invested in contracting, that was a big thing because consumer
contracting has become very large.
In the listed space, the only pocket where valuations are still held
out despite trends starting to come off is consumers. India has
never or very rarely let me say that has been a value market. India
has been a growth market. All of us somewhere get trapped in
believing that value is what we want to protect, and we are good
at capturing the value. Our failure is when we don't catch growth
along with that value and to me Indian market is symbolic of that
form. We think that because markets have collapsed the values
are becoming very enticing. I think that is not really the case. It's
about saying whether the values are falling, the growth is still
sustaining. We don't have that happening right now.
proving that. Incumbents have not gone where the consumers are
going. Even if it means pure tech or significantly tech enabled,
there is no reason why leaders could not do that, and you had
startups doing that role. I think the failure in India as of now is
about leaders' inability to take the risk of disrupting their own
existing businesses and the fear of disrupting their own business
and thereby losing where they are at today, to the obvious risk of
actually losing the entire business tomorrow. I think that I very
ominous to them and I frankly hope, but I don't have too much
belief while I hope of that, but I don't have too much of belief
that leaders have ability to change. It is very tough; it requires
someone to take that ownership. Professionals very rarely will
take that ownership, it must be the entrepreneurs, the promoters
who must take that call and hope some of them do.
which is getting created because of mayhem. And in every point
in time, someone's loss is someone's gain. I think there is
opportunity in crises, there is crises in listed market, but there is
opportunity in listed may be rare, may be few. But there is
significant opportunity in guys who are disrupting the listed guys
which are which is in private.
Companies should fan out all the alternative brands and invest in
new age category because that's where the Indian consumer space
is growing, and we are not capturing that. It takes me a decade
back – if you remember when the HUL started talking about the
master brand, super brand strategy getting only 30 brands in the
portfolio instead of 110 that they had, and they literally course
corrected in three years to get that done. May be the time is right
to actually say that 30 is not good for India. What makes any
consumer company think that 30 is great for India? India is a 130
crore population market, it's a market where the consumers are
experimenting, where consumer have a choice and want a choice.
Look at what Nykaa and Purplle have done in the beauty space.
Unheard of. They were not brands, they were selling HUL, P&G
and L'Oréal brands, they were selling products created by the
leaders. Today their platform has become the brand. So, Nykaa is
the brand which sells let's say Rs 2,000 crore of produce. A
Purplle is a brand which sells Rs 500 crore of produce. They have
become the brand and they will get value because the platform
has become the brand. I can't believe why a Lakme could not
have done the same, or why L'Oréal should not have done it. You
are killing your own brand by still targeting traditional ways of
consumption and distribution because the consumer is no longer
traditional. He has changed, and I think brands have not.
Disruption is happening in distribution, so it's no longer the
funnel which is becoming critical. It's no longer the HUL
stranglehold, for example. HUL, ITC or Colgate, I think they
control the distribution and thereby they thought that the product
that they have put through the distribution funnel was all that the
consumer wanted. That's not true. The distribution was only an
enabler, they didn't push the brand, they didn't push product
categories, they did not innovate. Because it's tough to innovate
when you do well for yourself, you can't disrupt yourself. I think
that is changing as distribution channels change you will see lot
more evolution of brands happens and there by the costumer
choice.
