- 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.
