Mohit Yadav built Minimalist into one of India's most talked-about skincare brands, not by spending more, scaling faster, or chasing every trend, but by doing the opposite. In this fireside chat, he breaks down the counterintuitive operating principles behind Minimalist's growth: why SKU restraint is a strategic weapon, why most CAC optimization is just theatre, and why the hardest founder skill at scale isn't spotting opportunity — it's ignoring it.

Equal parts honest and provocative, this conversation is for founders who are tired of growth advice that doesn't compound.

In this episode of Brick by Brick, we sit down with Kiran Shah, founder of GoZero , India's leading guilt-free ice cream brand. Kiran comes from a legendary ice cream family (Apsara Ice Creams), scaled it to 100 stores, and then made the bold decision to leave it all behind and start from scratch.

What followed was a masterclass in brand building, quick commerce strategy, and founder resilience.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why Kiran left the Apsara family business after 8 years
  
  
• How GoZero entered a market with 5 existing competitors and still won
  
  
• Getting rejected by Swiggy/Instamart and pivoting to Zepto first
  
  
• The quick commerce playbook every D2C founder needs to hear
  
  
• Blinkit vs Zepto vs Instamart , what's actually different
  
  
• Should new brands go exclusive on one platform? Kiran answers
  
  
• The dark first 3 months of GoZero and how he pushed through self-doubt
  
  

Whether you're a founder, a consumer brand builder, or just curious about how India's D2C ecosystem works this one is packed with gold.
