Competitive Moat
Moat is built on a 15% organized market share, a massive distribution network of 1,170+ dealers, and high brand recall through celebrity endorsements (Salman Khan, Varun Dhawan). These are sustainable due to the high cost of brand building and distribution setup for competitors.

Geographic Concentration Risk
While present in 46 countries, the company has a significant concentration in the Indian market across various states including West Bengal and Punjab.
