Nykaa account management is a full-stack operations discipline. Brands that DIY at scale often hit the same wall: founder time consumed by daily operations, no time for brand building or category strategy. A professional AM pod (agency or in-house) unlocks 25-40 hours/week of founder time โ the ROI is not "cheaper labour", it's "founder focus".
