Category playbook
Health, Nutrition & Wellness.
The world wants what Indian wellness makes — and regulates exactly how it can be sold. This is the category where our claims discipline, registrations, and channel craft earn their keep most visibly.
Claims console
- “Supports daily energy” — cleared, all six markets
- “Ashwagandha 600 mg” — cleared with dosage display rules
- ✕“Cures anxiety” — rewritten before it costs you a listing
Demand is global. Rules are local.
What actually holds wellness brands back
It's never the product. It's the paperwork and the shelf.
Great formulations die in three predictable places: a claim that fails review, a registration nobody owned, and a launch that treated Amazon like a warehouse instead of a shelf. The playbook exists because the failure modes repeat.
- Claims discipline first. Every claim rewritten to what each market permits — before creative, before listings.
- Registrations owned. FSSAI, FDA facility, SFDA, HSA — filed by named owners on tracked timelines.
- Dosage & labeling localized. Formats, units, and warnings per market — not one label squeezed everywhere.
- Diaspora-first sequencing. Win the audience that already trusts the ingredient; let reviews carry you mainstream.
- Reorder mechanics. Subscription placements and replenishment cycles designed in from launch.
