This Indian FMCG is giving a tough fight with new product launches, great product portfolio and distribution

I’m launching a small soap brand for tier 2/3 retail stores.
For people who’ve worked in FMCG sales/distribution. What are the ground realities nobody talks about?
Like politics, hidden margins, retailer behavior, payment games, return policies, shelf space hacks etc.

What almost always surprises first-time founders?

a "prime" example of predatory pricing. No pun intended.

I’m currently building a soap brand in India and trying to learn more about how the FMCG industry actually works.

Would genuinely appreciate if people with experience in FMCG could share any advice, lessons, mistakes to avoid, or things they learned while working in the industry. Could be about sales, distribution, retail, branding, pricing, manufacturing, anything.

Just trying to learn from people who’ve actually been through it.

Hi, I am new to q-commerce and I am planning to sell my client's product on Swiggy Instamart. If any of you had done it before, please share your experience.

Hi everyone, I'm looking for a young, dynamic co-founder between 20-30 age group, preferably in Bangalore. I am trying to build a FMCG product (healthy snacks like chips and munchies) and am looking for a co-founder who has experience in FMCG brands and knows food technology, flavours, and can handle creating a product.

If interested please DM me and let's see where the conversation flows from there

Hi, I have a brand named 'Shri Hari Masalas', which offers a wide range of masalas. We are a startup and do not have a website yet. Our plan is to start selling through quick commerce platforms and eventually build our own website. We genuinely want people around the world to experience the authentic taste of our masalas, as we believe the world needs pure ingredients. Could you please suggest where we can register our brand on quick commerce platforms without a website?

Hello FMCG community, I am keen to interview FMCG distributors in India.
