Nykaa will acquire a 51% stake in premium D2C skincare brand Aminu for up to ₹32 crore, strengthening its beauty house-of-brands and premium skincare portfolio. Aminu brings R&D and omnichannel capabilities; Nykaa also reported strong Q1 FY27 profit and revenue growth.

Why this matters

Nykaa's Aminu deal follows Q1 profit more than tripling as beauty, fashion and quick commerce scaled, and a Q1 update that said its board approved an Aminu stake.

Retail-company signals are accelerating, up 203143% QoQ.
