How MRR actually behaves in wellness & nutraceutical
MRR's power is in its decomposition. Net New MRR = New + Expansion - Contraction - Churn. If net new is positive and growing, the engine compounds. If churn + contraction outpaces new + expansion, you are in revenue debt. Indian SaaS founders often track gross MRR but ignore expansion vs contraction — a fatal blind spot when annual renewals come due. ARR (Annual Recurring Revenue) is just MRR × 12 with cleanup for ramp deals.
