Each variant gets its own full-funnel engine, but the channel mix and budget weight shift with price, audience, and sales cycle — a ₹3.15L cruiser is sold very differently from a ₹90k delivery scooter.
120 km/h, ~201 km. Young performance enthusiasts. Volume + brand halo.
Sibling sport bike. Same audience, style-led differentiation. Cross-sell partner to KM3000.
~₹3.15L, 188 km/h claim. Aspirational niche. Halo + earned media.
~₹90k delivery scooter. Fleet & last-mile operators. ROI/TCO-led B2B funnel — different game entirely.
Family scooter. Tier-1/2/3, value & EMI-first. The volume engine of the portfolio.
Media spend ramps from ₹4L in month 1 to a ₹12L peak — about ₹1.1 Cr of media for the year. Full phase split next.
India: metro + tier-1 first, expanding to tier-2/3. Foundation (0–3) → Scale (3–6) → Optimize (6–12).

Reporting cadence: a weekly funnel dashboard (reach → leads → bookings → deliveries) and a monthly budget reallocation — shift spend to the variant/stage with the best marginal CAC. Don't set and forget.
Marketing demand outruns delivery, killing reviews & trust. → Gate spend to fulfillable capacity; use waitlists for halo SKUs.
Leads die without somewhere to ride. → Concentrate paid spend on cities with live dealers; expand before scaling spend.
Higher CPMs, share-of-voice loss. → Win on niche performance positioning & creator trust, not raw budget.
Current gap vs polished rivals drags CTR/CVR. → Fix craft first; reallocate to a stronger content unit before scaling.
