Women-led beauty & wellness brands in India
Skincare, haircare, clean beauty, fragrance and nutrition — the most crowded and most founder-led category in Indian D2C.
Beauty and wellness is the deepest bench of women founders in the country, which makes it the most competitive too. The brands here range from clean-ingredient skincare and ayurveda to fragrance, colour cosmetics and ingestible wellness. Distribution and margin decide who lasts, and a striking number of these companies have already been acquired by larger houses.
