In this Episode, I (@Jivraj Singh Sachar) speak with Rishi Vasudev, Co-Founder of G.O.A.T Brand Labs.

GOAT Brand Labs is a unique model to scale consumer brands under one umbrella via the roll-up model popularized largely last year. There was a surge of companies in this space but GOAT has managed to build its individuality and emerge as a leader. Rishi Vasudev, the founder of GOAT has been an incredibly prolific operator and leader of brands across verticals and companies. He has spent 20 years in the industry including a stint at Flipkart, starting GOAT as a seasoned practitioner.

I sit with him to unravel the journey and understand how to scale D2C Brands. Through the conversation we discuss the playbook of scaling, the GOAT model of building brands, the org structure that facilitates a roll-up play and multiple aspects of differentiating the model & being deliberate about curating a world-class team. This was a fantastic conversation and I am sure all of you listening will have a great time. Before we get started, here is quick word about our sponsor:
