Building products for Gen Z

How do we achieve the sustainable future when the main consumer base has less purchasing power? How do we follow the data driven approach to catch the rising needs of the Gen Z consumer?

NUW is expanding into b2b segment, allowing the secondary market of large clothing brands to create the loyal crowd of consumers and focus on sustainability element, pushing for the quality of the produce up.

Gen Z consumer base differ in the way they find information, how aware they are of the composition, materials and consequences of their purchasing choices. Transactions in NUW are happening faster, spurred by the “first upload, then swap" logic on the platform. That way the coin is spent faster, allowing the users to change their wardrobes faster.

Key learnings from Anushree’s experience

Anushree worked across multiple geographies, yet outlined India as the most fast paced, demanding and price sensitive market, that makes the challenge of building products for that market extremely interesting. That experience, she found, was very rewarding and dynamic. That pushes the product leader to prioritise rigorously and keep the eye sharp on the consumer. As a comparison, in the US the process of bussing early stage startups was structured and mature.
