Brands are in fashion. "Tech" VCs are all embracing brands as they begin to show serious scale and deeper exits markets make them a sector of interest, relative to others. Some thoughts from us on this segment.

A couple of days ago WEH Ventures hosted an event for founders and operators in the Consumer Tech space along with All In Capital. Despite heavy rains we had over 60 attendees, most of them being founders building  in social media, health & fitness, commerce etc. This was the first event of this kind for us and we tried a lot of new ideas to make the event as interactive and relevant for the audience as we could. Big shout out to Farid Ahsan, Prashant Sachan Saurabh Pandey for generously sharing their time and experience with the group.

We're really excited about the potential for Consumer Tech start-ups in India and would love to hear from you if you're building in the space.

"Made in India - Interesting Startup Stories"

Did you know that Meesho initially started as Fashnear, connecting consumers with local fashion delivery similar to Swiggy or Zomato for restaurants before they pivoted to the reseller model 

Meesho started in 2015 when Amazon and Flipkart were already established players but has been able to create a niche for themselves by offering affordable products catering to people in T2 and T3 cities specifically from small sellers, a gap which was not being addressed by the incumbents  

This is our second post in our new series, covering unique startups from India, who have built products/ services focusing on India-first problems.

Continuing with our series of startups solving India-specific problems in this edition we cover Porter- which has cracked the problem of intra-city logistics with a focus on SMEs. When they started in 2014- most of the logistics action was focused on long-haul (where each trip is far more valuable). Meanwhile, within the city, the inefficiency was acute- with transporters barely getting 30% utilisation and SMEs (who drive the bulk of this demand) facing unreliable fulfilment. A hard nut to crack, but they did it- you see Porter trucks and mini-trucks everywhere.

India has many such inefficiencies to solve for it takes tech and a lot more -grit, patience, and field ops. Porter is worth half a billion and might be a real unicorn in the medium term

Did you know that Noise initially started as a smartphone accessory brand before pivoting to smartwatches and wireless headphones? 

In the disruptive world of startups, Noise has been able to carve out a special niche for itself by developing electronics for Indians by Indians and decided to forgo the external funding route entirely since starting up before hitting scale.

This is the first post in our new series, covering unique startups from India, who have built products/ services focusing on India-first problems.
