Nykaa will exclusively manage Kiehl’s India operations for L’Oréal Luxe, covering brand outlets, Kiehls.in, digital channels and multi-brand distribution. Kiehl’s will be integrated into Nykaa’s omnichannel network and logistics ecosystem.

Why this matters

The development revisits Nykaa’s February 2026 Kiehl’s India takeover and follows signals on its expanded L’Oréal Luxe partnership. It also arrives as India’s beauty and personal care market is projected to reach $34 billion by 2028.

Omni-channel is steady at 1,307 signals in 90 days; quarter-over-quarter figures were not provided.
