Agilitas x Virat Kohli partnership is one of the masterstroke deals I have seen in recent times. Virat invests 40 CR in Agilitas for a 1.94% stake, putting Agilitas’s valuation around 2000 CR. 📈 In turn, Agilitas acquires one8world, making Virat a co-founder and shareholder. They now get two very important growth levers: ⬇️ 1. A powerful manufacturing (via Mochiko Shoes - a 600 CR+ footwear brand that Agilitas acquired in 2008 ), 2. India’s biggest athlete — exclusively aligned. Easily becomes a 4000 CR revenue brand in the next 5 years. Footwear + retail scale requires capital — but this partnership compresses customer acquisition, product cycles, and brand-building like few others. Even Virat said in his podcast with Abhishek Ganguly, the co-founder of Agilitas that, “I didn’t want a brand deal… I wanted to build something that outlives me.” And Abhishek said something even beautiful - “An ambition to build from India but be globally relevant.” This isn’t marketing. This is legacy building with shared skin in the game. And that is how startups work - shared ambition with one goal (to make the company big) and food (read stake) in the table for everyone! A company that can be built in the long term with culture, capital, and conviction aligned. This might be the first time in India, where an athlete joins hands with a sport company to re-imagine and build the sport ecosystem of India - truly revolutionalising the game with a clear vision. 🙌

Bangalore Roundtable was literally a 🔥 Despite of rain and traffic we had a 80% of the market leaders walked-in, shared valuable experiences around GEO & AIO. We at Marketstro planned our 1st Roundtable edition at Bengaluru, to discuss on "How GEO impacts your business" We had the discussions the following 4 corners, 1️⃣ Ranking Factors of GEO 2️⃣ One strategy implemented to see impact in GEO Traffics 3️⃣ How to Measure the visibility of GEO 4️⃣ Future of Search. Here are the glimpses of our discussion, - First, we agreed up to GEO is coupled with the searches from ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI overview. - Post AIO, the drop in Organic Click is dropping around 40-60% despite of growth in Impression, and average positions as per GSC. - More than 90% of the results found in these GEO ranking are already ranking either in Google or Bing. So, 80% of the work is on the fundamental of SEO. - Branding, Brand Mentioning, Branded Traffic Growth, and Listicle are been one of the prime strategies to improve GEO Mentions. - BoFU Contents are being the only focus in terms of content strategy, and filling the topical authority for the BoFU contents. - Link building is still a factor to look at, but, budgets are yet a concern here. - Usage of Reddit, has scaled not only in leads, but also GEO mentioning. - Write content in micro-blog sites like LinkedIn pulse, Medium, and Substack. Most commercial queries in GEO are cited from these listicles. - Only when GSC give the click details from AI Overview, we'll have deep data on the keyword and the pages. - As of now tools like Profound, Writesonic, Peec are used to check the visibility splits on GEO space. - The future of search will be for the website with brand authenticity, AI-search enabled, Omni Channel presence, and Genuine contents. I would like to thank Priyam Sodhiya specially, for all his support from the start for the community and this roundtable. Also, happy share chair with other marketing mastro's of Bengaluru Navien R.

Happy to share with you that we launched the V2 of our APMI INSIGHTS earlier this week at our event in Delhi. Link: https://lnkd.in/d6yrVf3d We strongly believe this initiative will bring in the much needed clarity to PMS Performance Data. By moving away from the way it has traditionally been seen, the information is now presented in a format that investors and distributors can easily relate to and interpret. 1. The tool features Five “Scheme Age” Filters, highlighting the continuity of the investment approach and 2. Nine AUM Filters, which showcase growth. 3. Additionally, users can filter by the type of service offered by the Portfolio Managers-Discretionary or Non-Discretionary. 4. With 8 choices of time period-ensuring deeper insights aligned to their preferences. The latest release also features dedicated toolset to view Discretionary or Non-Discretionary scheme universe with a similar set of filters as mentioned above. This has been made possible with the guidance of Ms. Amisha Vora & Mr. Hiren Ved, the Board Representative of our Benchmarking & Valuation Committee and with the support of the entire APMI Board. We invite you to explore this initiative and are hopeful it adds value to your experience. Do write to us at feedback@apmiindia.org for your suggestions.
