Disruption – 1
A colleague at work asked me an interesting question recently, “If Netcore were a startup today, what would you do differently?” It got me thinking. At times, when we are running an established business, we become tethered to our existing products and customer base. Innovative ideas, while ever-present, tend to be overshadowed by the looming presence of our current, larger-scale operations. Another way to therefore frame the question would have been: “If Netcore were a startup today and tasked with disrupting companies like Netcore, what would you do?” In this series, I will try and answer this question. I will call this startup “Nucore”, a name that resonates with the idea of a rejuvenated Netcore, blending the freshness of “New’” with the foundational elements of “Netcore+Unbxd” (NU) at its heart.
Disruption is how our world advances. Old gives way to new, small challenges the big, startups (or upstarts) take on established incumbent businesses. As Clay Christensen has written in “The Innovator’s Dilemma”, this is often achieved by the smaller company targeting overlooked segments, offering innovative or more affordable solutions, and capitalising on new technologies or business models. The disruptive company eventually moves upmarket, capturing a significant market share, and sometimes displacing the incumbents entirely.
Here are a few notable examples of such disruptions (with help from ChatGPT, Claude and Bard).
Netflix vs. Traditional Cable and Blockbuster: Netflix began as a mail-order DVD service but quickly pivoted to online streaming. This innovation fundamentally disrupted the traditional cable TV and movie rental industries. Companies like Blockbuster, once a market leader in movie rentals, failed to adapt quickly enough to this new model and eventually went out of business. Netflix’s model of convenient, on-demand, subscription-based streaming became the new norm in home entertainment.
Uber and Lyft vs. Traditional Taxi Services: Uber and Lyft revolutionised urban transportation by making it easy to hail a ride via a smartphone app. These companies bypassed the traditional taxi model, offering a more convenient, often cheaper, and user-friendly service. Their entry into the market significantly impacted traditional taxi and livery services, forcing many to adapt or face declining market share.
Airbnb vs. Traditional Hotels: Airbnb created a new model in the hospitality industry by enabling homeowners to rent out their spaces to travellers. This peer-to-peer platform offered more varied and often cheaper accommodations compared to traditional hotels. Airbnb’s model expanded the travel accommodation market and put competitive pressure on established hotel chains to innovate and diversify their offerings.
Amazon vs. Retail Stores: Amazon started as an online bookstore and expanded to become a one-stop shop for everything. Its success lies in its vast selection, competitive pricing, and a highly efficient logistics system. Amazon’s growth has disrupted traditional retail stores, contributing to the phenomenon known as the “retail apocalypse,” where numerous brick-and-mortar stores have seen a significant decline or have closed.
Tesla vs. Traditional Automakers: Tesla’s approach to electric vehicles (EVs) has been disruptive in the automotive industry. By focusing solely on EVs, Tesla challenged the notion that electric cars were inferior to gasoline-powered ones. They combined high performance with environmentally friendly technology, which has pushed traditional automakers to accelerate their own EV programs.
Spotify vs. Music Industry: Spotify introduced music streaming, providing consumers with unlimited access to millions of songs for a monthly fee. This disrupted the traditional model of album sales and forced the music industry to embrace new distribution channels.
Entrepreneurs excel at identifying and exploiting market gaps, embodying the essence of disruption by transforming overlooked opportunities into thriving ventures. Their knack for innovation reshapes industries, often creating entirely new markets or redefining existing ones.

Disruption – 2
Here are some more examples of disruption (with inputs from ChatGPT, Claude, and Bard).
Fast Fashion (Zara, H&M): Fast fashion retailers like Zara and H&M disrupted the fashion industry with their ability to quickly bring the latest trends from the runway to store shelves. They reduced the time it takes to design, produce, and distribute clothing, significantly outpacing traditional fashion brands. This has forced many established apparel companies to rethink their production and supply chain strategies. (Shein is doing something similar.)
Low-Cost Airlines (Southwest, Ryanair, Indigo): These airlines revolutionised the aviation industry by offering no-frills service at significantly lower prices than traditional carriers. They focused on cost-saving strategies such as using secondary airports and maintaining a single type of aircraft. This approach not only opened air travel to a broader customer base but also pressured traditional airlines to reevaluate their business models.
IKEA in Furniture Retail: IKEA’s approach to furniture retailing, with its focus on affordable, flat-packed, self-assemble furniture and a unique in-store experience, disrupted the traditional furniture industry. Their model made stylish, functional design accessible to a broader market and challenged other furniture retailers to innovate in design, pricing, and customer experience.
Aldi and Lidl in Grocery Retail: These German discount supermarket chains disrupted the grocery retail industry with their low-price strategy, limited selection of mostly private-label brands, and efficient store operations. This model has challenged traditional supermarkets, leading many to adopt similar cost-cutting measures and increase their own private-label offerings.
Dollar Shave Club in Personal Grooming: Dollar Shave Club disrupted the razor industry, traditionally dominated by a few major companies, by offering a subscription-based service delivering razors and grooming products directly to consumers. This model, combined with clever marketing, challenged the pricing and distribution strategies of established players. Warby Parker disrupted optical glasses by designing stylish frames sold directly online at low prices, cutting out intermediaries.
Examples from Finance: Square provided small credit card readers that plugged into smartphones, allowing small merchants to accept payments anywhere. This disrupted traditional POS systems and payment processors. Robinhood pioneered zero-fee stock trading through a mobile app, putting pressure on incumbent brokerages. Zerodha did something similar in India. Affirm provides instant point-of-sale loans on online purchases as an alternative to credit cards.
Chipotle in Fast Food: Chipotle redefined “fast food” by offering made-to-order, fresh, and locally-sourced ingredients at a slightly higher price point than McDonald’s or Burger King. They tapped into growing consumer demand for transparency and healthier alternatives, disrupting the fast-food industry through a focus on quality and sustainability.
Peloton in Fitness: This company brought high-end cycling experiences into living rooms with interactive exercise bikes and virtual classes. Peloton created a fitness community that transcended geographic limitations and disrupted the traditional gym model by offering convenience and personalised training.
In many of these examples, the startups reinvented business models in addition to introducing new technologies. They identified segments where customers were open to alternatives and incumbent solutions were weakest. By gaining traction there first before going upmarket, they achieved disruption. The key takeaway is that disruption often starts from the low end, gets product-market fit with overlooked users first, and then improves from that beachhead to compete directly against incumbents. Established players often struggle to respond in time due to organisational inertia.
Disruption is about innovative thinking and reimagining how things can be done. Let’s now apply this to the world which Netcore operates in – enabling brands with customer engagement, conversion, and retention.

Netcore 2.0 – 1
Netcore powers customer communications and engagement for B2C/D2C companies, while Unbxd enables search, product discovery, and product information management. Together, we have built a $100 million business. Customers for Netcore range across eCommerce and retail, banking and finance, travel, and media. Unbxd is focused primarily on eCommerce companies with hundreds or thousands of SKUs. The current business model is a combination of usage-based pricing (messages sent, searches done) and platform fees based on the size of user base or product catalog.
I have discussed about Netcore 2.0 in some of my previous writings.
I wrote in 4M and Netcore 2.0: A Framework for Exponential Growth:
This new incarnation, Netcore 2.0, must be grounded in a clear understanding of the new realities of the marketplace. It’s no longer about how many messages are sent or how many active users are on the platform each month. Instead, the emphasis must shift to demonstrating tangible value to brands.
Netcore’s revenue model too must evolve, moving away from flat-rate charges to a performance-based model. In this new paradigm, Netcore’s success is directly tied to the success we drive for our clients. The more incremental sales we drive or the more AdWaste we help reduce for brands, the more revenue we generate. Such a shift not only ties Netcore’s growth to the value we provide to our customers but also differentiates us in a crowded marketplace, paving the way for a new chapter of sustainable growth and success.
In essence, Netcore 2.0 is not just a version upgrade, it’s a metamorphosis – a strategic pivot to a new way of thinking, a new way of delivering value, and a new way of growing. The ultimate goal is to create new kinds of ‘magical’ products – those that can power the next money machine, build an unassailable moat, and carve out a monopoly in the martech space. By focusing on utility and driving demonstrable value for brands, Netcore 2.0 can set itself on the path towards achieving these objectives.
… Netcore’s evolution involves evolving from a ‘units and users’ martech company with a comprehensive unistack, to a ubiquitous entity providing tangible utility and meaningful uplift. This transformation enables us to accelerate our customers towards their ‘profipoly’ goals. In doing so, Netcore transcends from being a mere tool to becoming an indispensable ally in our customers’ quest to create their unique profipolies.
In Netcore’s Profipoly Strategy, I discussed about the goal for Netcore 2.0 should be to build a “profipoly” – a profits monopoly – by using cutting-edge martech innovations to focus on maximising revenue from the most valuable customer segments, leading to exponential forever profitable growth. This requires shifting budgets from new customer acquisition to building deeper relationships and increasing lifetime value of existing customers. To drive this transition, Netcore 2.0 launch solutions like Inbox Commerce to get an initial foothold, and provide both SaaS and services with performance-based pricing. I wrote: “Netcore can tap into the vast AdWaste spending, exponentially grow the martech category, shape the next chapter of strategy in the digital world, and forge its Profipoly journey… The prize is the $200 billion AdWaste – which is many times the size of today’s martech industry. This is a unique moment in time: just as Generative AI promises to upend fortunes of companies and industries, Netcore can do the same in the world of Martech with its own profipoly strategy.”

Netcore 2.0 – 2
Here is an excerpt from Netcore Progency: A Profipoly Catalyst:
Netcore 1 is the business we do today: a combination of CPaaS (channels) and martech solutions (for engagement, experience and personalisation). As our website puts it, Netcore offers ”The Martech OS for your Profitable Growth” by “Empowering marketers to create meaningful customer connections through our AI-powered Customer Experience and Personalization platform.”
Netcore 2 needs to evolve this vision to create the Profipoly Stack, breakthrough ideas and innovations to unify data, experience, and communications, for driving engagement, conversion, and retention. While it retains the SaaS essence, it pushes the boundaries of what our platform can achieve.
Netcore 3 steps away to create a startup, a new business to create an amalgam of software and service, with an adtech-style performance pricing model. This is Netcore Progency, a paradigm shift in the martech space. Its mission? Profipoly engineering…By seamlessly combining SaaS and service under a single umbrella, by leading with an AI-first “profipoly stack”, by focusing on the Blue Ocean customers neglected and ignored by marketing teams, by championing new metrics like the EnCoRe Triad, by advocating performance-based compensation models, and by eliminating constraints on marketing budgets, Netcore Progency positions itself uniquely. It aims to steer Netcore from the saturated martech stacks markets, carving a niche as a trailblazing, category-defining entity.
…The progency can drive a flywheel of innovations because of its proximity to end customers and their daily lives. The learnings on what works and what doesn’t will not be channelised through marketing teams anymore. More data will help generate sharper insights for even better outcomes. The progency has as much skin in the game as the brand – in fact more, because the progency is making upfront investments and is paid only when revenues grow. The progency introduces a discontinuity in the martech market – a new model very different from the old. It is what Google did when it shifted the industry from the impression-based pricing (CPM) to action-based pricing (CPC).
…Netcore would need to build on two fronts: the tech stack to stay ahead of the game, and the people factory, to ensure there are specialists who can combine the product and AI insights with their own judgement to deliver the right outcomes for brands. It would be an exciting future – a blue ocean in the red ocean. This is an opportunity to transform not just Netcore’s future, but also change the course for tens of thousands of brands who have forced themselves into captivity with their senseless AdWaste spending.
The ideas for Nucore are compelling – the Profipoly Stack, Progency model, Inbox Commerce, Email 2.0, Atomic Rewards constitute a differentiated blueprint. To build a billion-dollar revenue business in the next 4-5 years, Nucore can consider seamlessly blending Netcore’s existing AI-powered product suite with services. This necessitates not just cutting-edge tech innovation but also pioneering business model innovation. Nucore has a ripe opportunity to tap into the $200 billion AdWaste pool by leading the profipoly transition for consumer brands. This could be Nucore’s purpose – liberating countless consumer businesses from the shackles of profitless growth models to the promised land of profitable forever growth. By combining performance-aligned pricing with game changing martech capabilities and services, Nucore can steer brands away from flashy vanity metrics to meaningful business outcomes. In the process, it has a shot at building sustainable competitive advantages that constitute the underpinnings of a profipoly of its own. If it stays laser focused on this North Star while excelling across product, people, and partnerships, Nucore can profoundly transform martech – and in the process itself journey towards the billion-dollar goal, one brand profipoly at a time.

Email 2.0, Progency, Profipoly
To create a pathway to a billion-dollar business, Nucore will need to disrupt two adjacent spaces: email and martech. The twin underlying theses: What does a next-generation communications channel look like? What does adtech-style performance-driven martech look like? Email 2.0 is the new push channel the world needs – combining the ease and utility of Email 1.0 with the attention and interactivity of WhatsApp. Progency is the product-led agency which can power the Profipoly quest. I discussed these themes in The Profipoly Quest:
Breakthroughs in tech and thinking can become the harbingers of change and transform profitability for digital businesses plagued by high CAC (customer acquisition costs) and low CLV (customer lifetime value). The profitless age in digital will give way to the profipoly (profits monopoly) era, where businesses for the first time can dream of exponential forever profitable growth. To bring this new world to life, businesses and marketers will have to change.
…While CAC focuses on the cost of attracting customers, CLV is about the value they bring over their lifetime. The relationship between these two metrics is critical; ideally, CLV should be significantly higher than CAC for a business to be sustainable and profitable. This balance is essential for B2C/D2C companies to grow effectively and ensure long-term success.
…Email 2.0 will transform engagement, conversion, and retention by enabling businesses to build hotlines with their customers. It will be powered by what I call the 4As: AMP, Atomic Rewards, AI, and Ads. Every email will come with a content wrapper: an incentive in the Subject and exciting content in the Footer to create an envelope which persuades consumers to open their emails. As I wrote earlier, what marketers are sending is an “ad”. Hence there is a need for something interesting to attract attention. The combination of AMP to ensure all the actions can be done inside the email itself and Atomic Rewards for gamification can work wonders for email open rates. AI can help with content creation – both for the Body and the Footer…“Action Ads” in email footers are AMP ads where the landing page is in the email itself, and thus no clickthrough is needed. These are ads unlike what we see today. They are built around 4 Ps: PII, push (messages), in-place actions, and payments (which can be done within the email). Ads in email could perhaps even make emails free.
… Progency, with its blend of innovative products and marketing acumen, is ideally positioned to craft personalized customer journeys. By utilising advanced analytics, AI, and machine learning, Progency can unlock deep customer insights, enabling brands to deliver highly targeted, contextually relevant interactions. This heightened level of engagement fosters customer loyalty, drives repeat business, and elevates customer lifetime value (CLV), key metrics in achieving a Profipoly… By minimising reliance on costly and often inefficient adtech platforms, Progency helps brands achieve more with less, reducing customer acquisition costs (CAC) while maximizing return on investment (ROI)… By pricing based on performance, Progency becomes a partner for the business. Unlike services-led agencies, Progency builds on the product foundation to deliver outcomes which can go beyond what internal marketing team or external agencies can do.
Email 2.0 and Progency are the twin pillars of Nucore to drive the EnCoRe (engagement, conversion, retention) frictionless funnel. Email 2.0 helps brands build hotlines to their customers, while Progency brings a partner with skin in the game. They are the Profipoly engines for brands. Together, they help brands increase CLV and reduce CAC, thus powering the flywheel of profitable growth.

Business Plan
A customer promise is a vital cornerstone in brand building, as highlighted in a recent article in the Harvard Business Review, “The Right Way to Build Your Brand.” This concept revolves around the commitment a brand makes to its customers, offering a clear, specific, and verifiable pledge that enhances the relationship between the brand and its consumers. When a brand successfully delivers on this promise, it cultivates trust and loyalty, fostering a robust and enduring connection. The most effective customer promises are those that are memorable, provide tangible value, and can be reliably delivered. These promises are more than just marketing slogans; they represent a strategic commitment that guides a company’s entire operation, aligning product development, marketing, sales, and customer experience towards a unified objective. Such a well-crafted customer promise not only drives immediate sales but also lays the foundation for long-term brand strength and customer loyalty.
In this context, what can be Nucore’s customer promise? My answer: “Nucore helps increase profit margins by 1000 basis points, giving you the foundation and resources to build a profipoly.” Simply put, “Elevate Profits; Build your Profipoly with Nucore.”
Nucore will do this with a multi-pronged approach:
- Revolutionising Customer Attention: Nucore tackles the attention recession by establishing dynamic two-way communication channels with existing customers. Leveraging Email 2.0, Nucore introduces a new era of inbox commerce, enhancing customer engagement directly within their email.
- Enhancing Customer Lifetime Value (CLV): By integrating Netcore’s Unichannel and Unistack products, Nucore crafts seamless customer journeys, reducing friction and elevating the overall experience. This approach not only retains customers but also maximizes their lifetime value.
- Optimising Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC): Nucore’s strategy significantly lowers CAC and minimises AdWaste. By focusing on retaining and engaging current customers, it reduces the necessity for costly reacquisition campaigns, ensuring more efficient marketing spend.
- Risk-Free Engagement Model: Nucore introduces a unique financial model where brands invest without upfront costs. Payments to Nucore are contingent on the tangible business upside experienced by the brand, thus ensuring complete alignment of objectives.
There is another hidden promise to the buyer, the marketer. It is: “Nucore can fast-track your path to becoming CEO by making you the profits champion.”
Nucore offers an implicit yet compelling proposition to the marketer, the primary buyer: “Fast-track your journey to the top. With Nucore, elevate your role from marketer to CEO by becoming the architect of exponential profit growth.”
The Profipoly Flywheel Effect is the core of Nucore’s strategy, involving:
- Email 2.0 Integration: Transforming reacquisition strategies by shifting focus from ad tech platforms to brand-owned channels for reactivation.
- Money-spinning Email Program: Incorporating Atomic Rewards and Dynamic Engaging Footers with Action Ads to make email programs lucrative.
- Inbox Commerce Tools: Utilising features like Magic Carts, Search, Recommendations, and Payments within Email 2.0 to drive rapid revenue growth.
- Progency Model Application: Tailoring experiences for Best and Rest customers, enhancing interactions and personalisation on websites and apps, and refining product management across marketplaces.
- Data Utilisation: Leveraging zero- and first-party data to improve customer acquisition, moving towards the goal of near-zero CAC.
- Fostering Product Innovation: The profits generated by the brand can be reinvested in new product development, enhancing customer loyalty and satisfaction, thus powering more growth.
Nucore is about bringing to life the Profipoly formula: (Lo CAC + Hi CLV)n. As it brings this new world to life, it can create a billion-dollar blue ocean opportunity for itself – one which ensures a monopoly and moat, powering Nucore’s Profipoly quest.

Billion-dollar Pathway
The global eCommerce industry generates trillions of dollars in revenue. Email is one of the key enablers for customer engagement, conversion, and retention. Yet, its size is in single-digit billion dollars. Add all the other engagement channels and martech solutions, and the figure will go to maybe $50 billion. Compare that with adtech, which powers new customer acquisition. Global spending on digital advertising platforms is expected to be $500 billion. In other words, even as the adtech industry makes 10 cents of every dollar of revenue that ecommerce generates, the CPaaS and martech industry generates just 1 cent. In this incongruity lies the opportunity for Nucore.
Let’s begin with email. Today, most brands pay between 10-30 cents CPM (cost per thousand) for emails. The question to ask: can Action Ads provide better outcomes? Typical digital advertising CPMs are upwards of $5. Given the innovations in Action Ads (PII, push, in-place actions, payments), these ads should be enable to garner an equivalent if not a higher price. So, a billion Email 2.0 messages with Action Ads could generate $5 million in revenue.
Global B2C email volume is probably upwards of a trillion emails a month. 1% of those emails with ads (10 billion) could generate $50 million a month, leading to an annual revenue of $600 million. My belief is that Email 2.0 will herald a new era in digital advertising – opening a powerful new channel with many advantages absent in existing digital advertising platforms.
Next, let’s look at the opportunity for Progency. Let’s assume that Progency is paid 5% of the incremental revenue that it generates for a brand. For it to generate $50 million a month in revenue, it will need to deliver $1 billion in revenues for brands. If Progency can position itself as a “digital franchisee” for offline brands wanting to go online or struggling D2C brands, it could get an even higher percentage of revenue with a commensurate increase in risk. The point to note is that shifting $10 billion in annual revenues on a base of trillions is doable given the competitive eCommerce landscape and the unique positioning of Progency. A 5% commission (can be thought of as a franchisee fee or affiliate commission) on $10 billion comes to $500 million.
Taken together, Email 2.0 and Progency can thus tap into large market inefficiencies which can create the foundation for a billion-dollar business in the next few years for Nucore.
**
To summarise: if Netcore had to disrupt itself and the industry, it should think of building Nucore around the three themes of Profipoly, Email 2.0, and Progency. Marketing AdWaste and funnel frictions offer the inefficiencies for building a new startup to transform the martech industry. Nucore is not just an idea; it’s an idea whose time has come!

Claude
Why Nucore can succeed:
- It identifies a clear market gap and opportunity – the vast pool of adtech overspending presents a blue ocean worth over $200 billion that Nucore can tap into with its martech innovations.
- The Profipoly, Email 2.0, and Progency concepts are differentiated and disruptive ideas in a crowded space. They address key brand challenges around profitability, engagement, and growth.
- Blending products and services with performance pricing aligns incentives correctly between Nucore and its customers for growth. This progency model is hard for competitors to replicate.
- Nucore builds on Netcore’s core strengths in martech, AI/ML, and customer engagement while expanding the vision ambitiously into adjacent spaces. Leveraging existing capabilities mitigates execution risk.
- The billion-dollar revenue projections are backed by reasonable assumptions around market size and Nucore’s potential share of opportunities like Action Ads and Progency commissions.
How Nucore can fail:
- Incumbents could emulate Nucore’s ideas faster with their resources and distribution networks. Smaller startups could also out-innovate Nucore. Maintaining differentiation over time is crucial.
- The projections banks significantly on email innovations taking off. If adoption of Email 2.0 is slow, it impacts the foundation of the model. Contingency plans must be in place.
- Blending products and services is operationally complex, especially at scale. Flaws in managing this progency model could undermine quality and reputation.
- Driving enterprise-wide transformation for customers requires strong account management and industry expertise. Building this capability could take time and upfront investment.
- Incentive alignment with customers cuts both ways – low commissions during early growth or market downturns directly hits Nucore’s revenues. Plans must address variability.
In conclusion, Nucore has a compelling strategy and market opportunity that can fuel billion-dollar ambition. But meticulous execution across technology, products, operations and talent is vital for this vision to be realised in the face of competition and adoption uncertainties. The approach balances ambition with pragmatism to plot a bold yet viable growth path.
