🍦 ☀ The summer of 2024 has more than just heatwaves – it's brought a surge in ice cream sales attracting major investments from VC and PE players. Thanks to quick commerce, better logistics, and rising incomes, enjoying a scoop is easier than ever. 🍨 The Indian ice cream market was worth over $3 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 13.49% in 2024-30, according to Markntel Advisors. 🍦 To stand out among established brands like Amul India, Kwality Walls, and Mother Dairy, startups in the Indian ice cream sector are driving innovation through the creation of healthier options, such as low-calorie and vegan ice creams. These brands are also experimenting with exotic and unique flavour combinations to cater to evolving consumer tastes. New formats like bite-sized frozen treats and single-serve portions, which appeal to health-conscious and variety-seeking consumers, are also on offer. 🍨 These new-age ice cream brands have been quick to leverage improved cold chain logistics and the rise of quick commerce platforms, driving growth in a market traditionally dominated by established players, and attracting venture capital investment. 🍧 Full story for DealStreetAsia: https://lnkd.in/gSTYvWRC Thanks for contributing, Kiran Shah Go Zero, Vinay Singh Fireside Ventures, Abha Agarwal Avendus Hocco Jungle Ventures DSG Consumer Partners Saama V3 Ventures Ankit Chona Sauce.vc Dairy Day Kedaara Capital FRUBON pi Ventures Skippi Hyderabad Angels Venture Catalysts++ | India's 1st Multi-Stage VC Vineeta Singh Artinci NOTO - Healthy Ice Cream Rainmatter by Zerodha

Infertility issues are reasonably common, with 15-20% heterosexual couples today finding it difficult to conceive. What you may not know, though, is that 40% of these are the result of male fertility issues. The typical assumption is that infertility = women, due to the prevalence of PCOS or prolactic issues or even age-related factors. But the reality is this: infertility = men AND women. While 1 in every 7 women suffer from a fertility issue, so do 1 in every 5 men - ranging from hormonal imbalance to sexual dysfunction to low sperm count. Research tell us that sperm counts have dropped in the last three decades, from 60 million/ml to just 20 million/ml now. Here’s how we’re seeing this problem - and looking for solutions in this space. #consumerhealth #menshealth #healthcare #startup #founder Ankur Khaitan Reemsha Reen Sonia Abraham

“The mattress industry was highly fragmented and unorganised, dominated by distributors and dealers when we launched TSC in 2019. We believe that our omnichannel presence has disrupted the space. After analysing consumer behaviour, we have internally coined the ‘ROPO’ term, ‘research online, purchase offline’, wherein consumers research our products online and then experience the product in the store and make a purchase. Our COCO stores make us stand out in the market as they help us to provide a superior experience to our customers, ensure seamless delivery and address their queries and challenges first-hand,” said Harshil Salot, co-founder, The Sleep Company.
