What to watch

  • FY26 revenue growth sustaining at or above FY25's 34% rate.
  • Evidence of EBITDA profitability, contribution-margin expansion or reduced cash burn.
  • Inventory days, stock-outs, markdown intensity and return rates during major festive and sale periods.
  • Share of revenue from offline retail and marketplaces versus own website.
  • Any follow-on funding, secondary transaction or valuation movement within 12-18 months.
  • Competitive pricing and promotional intensity from other D2C innerwear, athleisure and menswear brands.
  • Deploy capital toward high-velocity inventory replenishment rather than broad SKU expansion.
  • Increase offline, marketplace and institutional distribution where customer acquisition costs are lower than pure D2C channels.
  • Prioritize repeat purchase, bundle economics and category extensions that lift average order value without increasing discount dependence.
  • Demonstrate EBITDA or contribution-margin improvement ahead of any larger FY26-FY27 fundraising.
  • Use the presence of Tancom Electronics to explore supply-chain, product-development or manufacturing-efficiency partnerships if strategically relevant.
