What does it take to build a premium Indian brand in a legacy category?
In this episode of The First Cheque Show, Rishab Malik sits down with Arindam Paul, founding team member and Chief Business Officer at Atomberg, to unpack the building blocks behind one of India’s most distinctive D2C brands.
They trace Atomberg’s journey from an engineering-led idea to a INR 1,000 crore business with over 10 million fans sold and a presence in more than 7 million Indian homes.
Arindam shares how the team reshaped consumer perception on price and performance, scaled across online and offline channels, and built staying power in a legacy category. He breaks down his PPCMF (product-price-market-channel fit) model, a framework he has shaped and sharpened through a decade of execution that has become a reference point for early-stage D2C founders.
