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.
