Why India, and why now?
India is ready for your beauty brand — operations are not.
India’s beauty and personal care market is expanding rapidly. Cross-border friendly shoppers are actively searching for international skincare, makeup and haircare — but entry is blocked for most brands by import and operations complexity.
Market signals
- Strong growth in demand for Korean, Japanese, European and US beauty brands.
- High discovery on marketplaces like Nykaa, Tira and Amazon India.
- Large volume of COD orders and repeat purchases when operations run smoothly.
The typical friction
- Confusing import rules and fragmented compliance guidance.
- No local warehouse or team to handle stock, returns and customers.
- Heavy dependence on a single marketplace or distributor with limited transparency.
