Nykaa CEO Falguni Nayar sees substantial long-term upside in India’s underpenetrated beauty and fashion market, driven by premiumisation and aspirations. Nykaa Fashion added 1,250 brands, while Nykaa Now offers 30-minute to two-hour delivery in select locations.

Why this matters

The growth outlook follows Nykaa’s February 2026 move to exclusively run Kiehl’s India operations under an expanded L’Oréal Luxe mandate, extending its role in premium beauty brand operations.
