Atomberg has created ripples through its operating segments, there is no doubt about that. From an energy efficiency pitch when it started off, the firm has done very well to premiumise its range with design improvements as well. The heavy investments into brand building and people are justified to that extent, as the firm seeks to push for a much more significant market share with better margins. The losses, while impacting margins significantly, are manageable it seems, considering the increase in scale as well as dry powder with the firm after its last funding round. The durables categories it operates in may not be the most exciting or richly valued, but truth be told, Atomberg can lay claim to have been responsible for one of the more exciting entries there recently. It should be fascinating to track the journey ahead of this brand, which took the distinctive and rare ‘made in India’ technology route to make its initial impact.
