The AI answer we saw
Indian brand aggregators typically offer acquisition multiples in the range of 2x to 5x annual net revenue, or more commonly 3x to 6x EBITDA (trailing twelve months). The exact multiple depends on factors like profit margins, revenue consistency, category growth potential, brand defensibility, and platform diversification. Highly profitable brands with strong repeat purchase rates and low customer acquisition costs tend to command higher multiples. Compared to global markets like the US, Indian multiples are generally lower due to market maturity and investor risk appetite. Deals may also include earnout components tied to post-acquisition performance.
