Problem Statement
Despite strong market pull, the company faced multiple constraints:
- Promoter-dependent opertations and decision-making with no institutional governance
- Outdated brand identity with no structured marketing roadmap
- Fragmented supply chain and SKU lifecycle inefficiencies
- Inability to present a scalable financial or operating story to institutional investor engagement
Its growth ceiling was a result of internal bottlenecks, not market demand.



Approach & Process
Capeon’s team designed and delivered a high-impact turnaround through:
- Anchor equity investment, milestone-linked to key performance outcomes
- Onboarding of a fractional COO and FP&A lead from Capeon’s alliance network
- End-to-end supply chain optimization and SKU rationalization
- Brand identity and marketing strategy were shaped under Capeon’s CMO oversight, with strategic direction provided to the client’s internal team.
- Launched an integrated marketing roadmap: digital + offline with customer cohorting
- Brought in a strategic co-investor from a UAE-based consumer fund
- Led board formalization and strengthened omnichannel retail maturity
Capeon also led board formalization and shaped omnichannel retail maturity.
