Certified Problem Solver

Bummer is a verified D2C innerwear brand in India with significant traction, having raised funding on Shark Tank India (Season 1) and from Gruhas (Nikhil Kamath). External search confirms FY24 revenue of ~₹9.3 Cr (~$1.1M USD) with 18% YoY growth and a valuation of ~$5.6M. While the project submission was of extremely low quality (poor descriptions, hyperbolic claims), the underlying business is real, scaling, and operational with a team of 17+. The score reflects strong market traction and utility, balanced by low technical innovation (apparel vs software) and the penalty for a low-effort submission.
