Brown Living is a legitimate, verifiable sustainable marketplace in India with approximately $300k-$600k annual revenue and recent pre-seed funding (Oct 2024). However, the project submission itself is of very poor quality, containing demonstrable falsehoods (e.g., claiming 'most people have used my product' and audience is 'everyone'). While the business shows promise in the 'Small but promising' category (100-250 range), the submission's lack of professionalism and exaggerated claims necessitate penalties in the Traction and Response Quality metrics. The platform solves a genuine problem (plastic-free commerce) with a verified proprietary curation framework ('The Brown Lens').
