  • Quick-commerce shelf-share shifts toward nutrition brands
  • CAC and gross-margin disclosures from comparable D2C players
  • Regulatory moves on 'clean-label' / health-claim labeling in India
  • 100Unicorns redeploys proceeds into earlier-stage consumer/wellness bets to compound the thesis
  • Emami evaluates increasing stake or full acquisition of remaining D2C wellness assets
  • Competing clean-label brands (True Elements, Yoga Bar-style players) launch fundraising or M&A talks
  • Retailers and quick-commerce platforms expand private-label clean nutrition SKUs to capture the trend
