    How Much Protein Should You Eat Per Day | Fynd Out with Ragini

    Before you trust a protein bar again, watch this conversation. In this episode of Fynd Out With Ragini, we sit down with Gayatri Chona, Founder of Phab, to decode the uncomfortable truth about India’s protein obsession and why high protein does not always mean healthy. From protein bars, protein shakes, no added sugar claims, dates, nuts, total sugar, calories, macros and back-label reading to whey protein prices, quick commerce, offline retail, R&D, product recalls and repeat customers, this conversation is a deep dive into what it really takes to build a macro-led nutrition brand in India. Key insights include why protein has gone from a deficient nutrient to a marketing gimmick, how to understand the calorie cost of protein, why consumers should look at total sugar and not just added sugar, how Phab built its own R&D process, why repeatability matters more than marketing, and how quick commerce is changing the protein snack category. Whether you are building a D2C food brand in India, buying protein bars, looking for high protein snacks, trying to understand healthy snacks, reading food labels, comparing protein shakes, or decoding how India’s quick commerce and FMCG market is changing, this episode is essential commerce intelligence.

    Why Indians Are Paying More Than Ever For a Good Night's Sleep | Fynd Out with Ragini

    How do you turn something as boring as a mattress into a brand people actually love? In this episode of Fynd Out With Ragini, we sit down with Kabir, Founder & CEO of SleepyCat, to decode how he built a D2C mattress brand in India around something every single person needs but almost nobody thinks about: better sleep. From selling the first few mattresses on Amazon, begging customers for reviews, launching a 100-night trial, dealing with weird returns, and then taking SleepyCat offline with 50+ stores, this conversation breaks down the business of sleep in India. Kabir also shares why mattress buying in India is still confusing, why most Indians keep mattresses for 18–20 years, how SleepyCat simplified the category, why offline retail matters for touch-and-feel products, and what it takes to build brand love for a product hidden under your bedsheet. If you are interested in D2C brands, ecommerce, mattress brands in India, Amazon selling, offline retail, omnichannel retail, store economics, consumer behaviour or the future of sleep products, this episode is for you.

    Are You Eating Chemicals In Your Masala | Fynd Out With Ragini

    Do you actually know what is inside your masala, dosa batter, chutney or “healthy” snack? In this episode of Fynd Out With Ragini, we sit down with Dr. Prithwi, Co-founder & CEO of Khetika, to decode the uncomfortable truth about food adulteration in India and why clean food brands can no longer ask consumers to blindly trust them. From spice adulteration, masala adulteration, marble powder, dyes, poor-quality raw materials, high-heat grinding and preservatives to QR-code traceability, single-origin spices, stone-ground masalas, preservative-free dosa batter, fresh chutneys and healthy Indian snacks, this conversation is a deep dive into what it really takes to build a clean label food brand in India. Key insights include why Khetika built its own manufacturing plants, how they source directly from farmers, why they created SAATHI farmer centres, how they are solving for purity, taste and shelf life, and why Dr. Prithwi believes the future of food in India will be built on proof, traceability and trust. Whether you are building a D2C food brand in India, looking for pure spices, clean label food, preservative-free food, dosa batter, fresh chutneys, healthy snacks, or trying to understand how India’s food supply chain, quick commerce and consumer behaviour are changing, this episode is essential commerce intelligence.

    Why Nykaa Is Betting ₹32 Crore on Aminu’s Science-Backed Skincare | Fynd Out with Ragini

    Special Note: Apparently, this episode aged better than our skincare, so it deserved a comeback! We recorded Aminu’s story on 31st August 2024, long before the Nykaa acquisition. Now that the deal is official, we had to bring this one back from the archives.Back then, you knew us as Behind Closed Doors. A lot has changed since, including our name, and today we’re Fynd Out with Ragini. So, let’s rewind to where it all began.We sat down with Prachi Bhandari and Aman Mohunta, Co-founders of Aminu, a science-backed premium skincare brand from India that chose the harder route: building its own lab, spending nearly two years on R&D, and formulating products from scratch instead of simply following what was already trending in beauty.And this conversation feels even more relevant today. Nykaa has approved the acquisition of a 51% stake in Aminu for up to ₹32 crore, making this episode a rare look into how a bootstrapped D2C skincare brand in India built real product credibility before becoming part of a larger premium beauty story.Key insights include why Aminu products are expensive, how Prachi and Aman built a science-backed skincare brand without chasing trends, why skin is an organ that needs support and not aggressive scrubbing, how microplastics in skincare became a serious formulation challenge, why influencer marketing in beauty needs honesty, and why healthy aging is a better philosophy than anti-aging.Whether you are building a D2C skincare brand in India, looking for clean beauty products, trying to understand skincare formulation, or simply want to know what actually goes into science-backed skincare, this episode is essential commerce intelligence.Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe to Fynd Out With Ragini for more operator-first conversations with the founders, brand builders and consumer businesses shaping the future of retail, beauty, commerce and consumer intelligence in India._____________Time Stamps:(00:00) In This Video(01:35) Why We Brought This Episode Back(02:41) Prachi and Aman from Aminu(09:13) Aminu’s Origin Story(15:02) Meaning of ‘Aminu’(17:18) Acid in Skincare(20:27) Aminu’s First Product(25:16) Understanding Our Skin(26:46) Distribution Strategy(29:10) Beta Test and Customer Feedback(33:40) Influencer and Celebrity Marketing(35:14) Taking the Big Step(37:26) Raising FundsCatch the entire series on our YouTube channel – new episodes every Saturday!_____________Links:Fynd Out With Ragini VarmaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/fyndoutwithragini/ Spotify: https://linktw.in/tDCoyf Apple Podcast: https://linktw.in/eYxOOd AminuWebsite: https://www.aminu.life/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/aminulife/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aminu.life/ Ragini VarmaLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ragini-varma/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/raginnivarma/ FyndLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/fynd-shopsense/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gofynd/

    Wild Date Founder on Building the Right Fitness Snack for Every Indian | Fynd Out With Ragini

    In this episode of Fynd Out With Ragini, we sit down with Siddarth CS, Founder of Wild Date, an Ironman triathlete and third generation entrepreneur who walked away from a four decade old automobile business to build India's most honest clean label snack brand from scratch, bootstrapped, community first, and with zero preservatives. From starting with pop up exhibitions in Tier 2 cities instead of performance marketing, to achieving a 37% repeat rate in a 90 day window without spending on ads, this is a masterclass in building a clean label food brand the right way, slowly, honestly, and profitably. Key insights include why Siddarth believes online and pop ups must come before offline for any food founder, how Wild Date competes against VC funded snack giants without a marketing war chest, why the food philosophy of a brand outlasts any product that can be reverse engineered, and why capital should only accelerate a well oiled engine and not be the engine itself. Whether you are building a D2C food brand, looking for honest clean label snacks in India, or trying to understand how the healthy snacking market in India really works, this episode is essential commerce intelligence.

    How Jaipur Kurti Used Celebrity Marketing to Build a ₹100Cr Offline Business | Fynd Out With Ragini

    Most D2C founders chase reach. Anuj Mundhra, Founder & MD of Jaipur Kurti chased cash flow. The result is a ₹100Cr brand that has never needed a single VC cheque. In this episode of Fynd Out With Ragini, we sit down with Anuj Mundhra, the Kurti King of India, to decode how he went from being a fabric salesman in Kalbadevi to building one of India's top women's kurta brands, why he listed on the stock exchange instead of raising VC capital, and what the real D2C playbook looks like when cash flow is your only investor. He also reveals how Jaipur Kurti became India's first brand to introduce plus size at no extra cost, why he bet on Madhuri Dixit as their brand ambassador to crack offline retail, and why he believes most D2C brands chasing reach are sitting on a ticking time bomb. Key insights include the 20-60-20 inventory split between core, seasonal and trending that keeps Jaipur Kurti profitable, why cash flow visibility every single day is the only metric that matters in fashion retail, how AI is being used to predict trends and reduce dead inventory, and what Gen Z actually demands from Indian fashion brands in 2026.

    He Returned 40,000 Bookings and Still Built India's Biggest EV Motorcycle Bet | Fynd Out with Ragini

    Did you know India's first geared electric motorcycle was built entirely in-house by a startup from Ahmedabad with zero imported technology? In this episode of Fynd Out With Ragini, we sit down with Mohal Lalbhai, Founder & Group CEO of Matter Motors, to decode how he built the world's only geared electric motorcycle from scratch, why he returned 40,000 pre-bookings because he could not deliver on the promise, and why he believes India could become for motorcycles what China became for EVs globally. From supply chain horror stories and memory chip crises to why the EV charging infrastructure problem in India is the biggest misinformation in the market, Mohal holds nothing back. He also reveals why 8% of Matter's buyers are women, why Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities are outpacing metros in EV adoption, and why the gearbox was not a feature but the heart and soul of the motorcycle. Key insights include how Matter Motors built 100 plus patents with zero imported technology, why India's two wheeler EV market is still at less than 9% penetration and what that means for the next decade, how liquid cooling became the breakthrough that changed everything, and why Mohal believes the winner of India's EV transition will not be the company with the best machine but the one that delivers at scale.
