Nykaa
A start-up at the age of 50 with no experience and now the business stake worth over $6.5 billion sounds like a script from a good movie but this what now everyone is aware about Falguni Nayar the wealthiest self-made Indian female billionaire, but what no one knows is the dedication and efforts that went behind. Nykaa started with 20 employees 1 warehouse of 5000 sq. ft. and 45 brands now has 384+ employees, 1500 brands across all ranges from skin care, fragrances, toiletries, luxury and wellness products for both men and women, 3 warehouses spread across 100,000 sq. ft.
Nykaa initially started with catering only cosmetic products but while climbing the ladder of success Nykaa introduced their own wide range of cosmetic and skin care products they later also introduced clothing range, accessories and luxury extensions and soon launched their walk -in store across country. For that one overnight success there was enormous number of sleepless nights, hard work, dedication.
Falguni Nayar before coming up with Nykaa in 2012 was as investor banker she called it quits when she was on peak of her career. She’s a graduate from Indian Institute of Management.
