BoF beauty briefing on prestige skincare's slowdown (3% growth to $9.7B) also notes Nykaa's tie-up with Deepika Padukone, an India-relevant beauty retail development worth tracking.

Why this matters

The tie-up extends Nykaa's owned-brand and premium push as it targets $5B GMV by FY30, even as analysts question its valuation and prestige skincare growth slows globally.

Retail-brand signals steady at 2,058 over the past 90 days.
