Muuchstac — From Rs 3 Lakhs to Rs 450 Crore
In 2017, two young entrepreneurs from Mumbai invested Rs 3 lakhs to start a male grooming brand. They found their winner — a facewash — and built the rest on customer loyalty, lean operations and zero losses. By 2025, Muuchstac clocked Rs 80 crore in revenue and was acquired by Godrej Consumer Products for Rs 450 crore. A masterclass in bootstrapped focus.
