This content can also be viewed on the site it originates from As the platform launches its first 360-degree campaign Vogue sits down in a conversation with the face of it to talk about everything—from their personal definitions of beauty to how they feel about this collaboration Sonakshi Sharma (SS): Why did you choose Tira Beauty for this collaboration Tell us about how your vision of beauty aligns with theirs Kareena Kapoor Khan (KKK): What I really love about Tira is that it's all about embracing your individuality, celebrating every facet of who you are, and finding that confidence that lets you be your true self. Tira's fundamental pillars of inclusivity, authenticity, and self-expression resonate deeply with me as I have always been unapologetically myself Kiara Advani (KA): Beauty, to me, is a celebration of uniqueness and self-love. With Tira I've found a partner who shares my belief in empowering individuals to express themselves authentically and allow self-discovery and expression “For Every You” resonates with the celebration of our own version of beauty SS: How do you hope this collaboration will spearhead change in an ever-evolving beauty sphere KKK: Our shared commitment to authenticity and self-expression will pave the way for a more inclusive and diverse representation of beauty Through Tira's innovative approach and my own experiences we aim to empower individuals to embrace their uniqueness without hesitation KA: Together, we aim to break down the barriers that have limited representation for self-expression, for far too long. We want to encourage everyone to feel confident in their skin and empowered to define their own beauty.

Not to mention, new competition in the form of D2C brands and behemoths such as Tata and Reliance The downgrade by the AMFI means that Nykaa is no longer an attractive largecap stock in India and this could have an impact on the company’s visibility in the near future It was only in November 2021 that Nykaa’s INR 5,352 Cr IPO saw 82x subscription, the highest among large startup IPOs in India Having withstood competition from marketplaces such as Amazon India and Walmart-backed Flipkart and Myntra Nykaa seemingly set a new benchmark for Indian ecommerce startups with its blockbuster IPO But the last 20 months have been nothing short of disruptive and the Indian conglomerate has also launched Tira in the beauty ecommerce space Tata has also bolstered its beauty and personal care product assortment on its platform Tata CLiQ the Tatas have added 20 beauty tech stores across the country while Myntra Beauty has registered 2X-3X growth in recent months and expanded its brand collection Nykaa needs to come up with something exceptional to compete with the aforementioned well-funded BPC contenders Adding to the company’s woes was the announcement of the issue of bonus shares in a 5:1 ratio and changes in key management personnel after a successful IPO Bonus shares announcement was largely perceived as a way to keep the company’s anchor investors from offloading shares at the end of their IPO lock-in period Experts believe that amid declining year-on-year profitability Nykaa could see a cash crunch as it prepares to combat with deep-pocketed corporations it will be interesting to see if Nykaa can hold onto its market share let’s look at the bread-and-butter for ecommerce platforms such as Nykaa — that is visits It must be noted that Nykaa has separate properties for fashion (Nykaafashion.com) and beauty (nykaa.com) If we look at the performance over the last 3-4 months the fashion vertical has definitely seen some gains but Nykaa.com itself has experienced negative growth in total visits The flagship property is bleeding users due to an ever-intensifying competition which is quite clear in the graph given below Nykaa Man and Nykaa Fashion have the lowest numbers when it comes to average visit durations Nykaa has a lot of catching up to do against its competitors Some of Nykaa’s private labels  — take Dot&Key for instance — have become popular discounted items on Myntra which shows that the company is forced to use its competition to sell its products Tira and Amazon’s private labels are largely walled inside their respective marketplaces To beat the competition and stay in the public spotlight Nykaa has opted for the omnichannel strategy and it is looking to add brand-owned stores on the retail front When we look at the omnichannel operations The company plans to open more physical stores this year according the announcements made in its last earnings call Nykaa’s founder and CEO Falguni Nayar had earlier said “Physical retail is a necessary investment that we need to make even if it adversely affects overall profitability we are aiming for the optimal mix of online This is where the situation becomes more complicated Nykaa has managed to stay lean and achieve profits thus far opening more stores means more investments and a significant increase in operational expenditure this entails entering into fierce competition with Tata and Reliance Reliance Retail alone has launched over 3,300 new stores in FY23 under its various brands, including Tira Beauty Tata has been a well-known name in the BPC and fashion industry It introduced the first-ever cosmetics brand Tata has over 22 in-house labels for its Westside brand which operates over 200 stores across the country While Tata plans to open 20 beauty tech stores it already has 391 Zudio stores nationwide it is relatively easier to build an online business backed by their offline stores compared to Nykaa’s strategy of building an offline presence backed by online operations These large conglomerates have years of experience in building retail brands in the offline space Nykaa seems to have lost ground in its strength areas of ecommerce and offline retail a boutique management consulting firm explained many brands have started moving offline because that’s where the bulk of the business happens But moving offline means entering a completely different business You’re not able to centralise inventory as much and you may not be able to respond to market-specific segments as quickly.” but it has an advantage in the fact that it may be able to use data more effectively from its online operations “Your store locations have to be correct At the business level you may look at profitability in a longer term,” Dutta added is poised to grow at a compound annual rate of 11% with cosmetics and perfumes categories growing at a faster clip According to a joint report by international beauty brand Estée Lauder and Gurugram-based business insights firm 1Lattice a substantial portion of sales worth about $1.3 Bn are through ecommerce channels This is expected to grow at a CAGR of 30% during FY22-27 followed by companies that retail beauty products in health and beauty stores and modern retail shops Nykaa has so far managed to stay ahead in the race Nykaa’s beauty category (55% of the broad BPC category) saw 33% full-year growth with a GMV of INR 6,649 Cr the GMV grew 47% for the full year at INR 2,570 Cr BPC and fashion are the two mainstays of Nykaa’s business even though fashion is a relatively new vertical for the Mumbai-based company The company had earlier launched Nykaa Man it has failed to grow over the last few years while AJIO has grown from 0-37 Mn users Nykaa’s online PAT has been going down for the last two years while Nykaa Fashion’s loss for the year has grown consecutively putting Nykaa business in a fix,” said an analyst from PwC Nykaa needs to bring a balance between short-term losses and long-term profits the company’s current strategy fails to show a way out the company’s BPC products have so far had lower prices than Myntra and AJIO when compared to Amazon India and its long list of D2C brands and private labels Nykaa products were slightly more expensive Amazon also scored over Nykaa with its better supply chain and distribution the assurance of quality and authenticity of products Access to international brands is no longer exclusive to Nykaa so it needs to tackle distribution and supply chain a consultant from brokerage firm Motilal Oswal recently said “There is no clear playbook for these businesses it was pioneering many aspects in India.” now the company needs to exercise extreme caution regarding expenses and investments because of heavyweight competition with deeper pockets highlighted that the company still has funds remaining from the IPO which will be utilised to secure future capital needs “It’s worth noting that while we have observed a considerable increase in working capital as the company scales up the number of working capital days is expected to stabilise This means that the amount of funding allocated to working capital should moderate in the future.” But analysts also believed that Nykaa cannot afford to sacrifice its market share in India’s rapidly growing beauty One thing that is advantageous for Nykaa is that Reliance-owned Tira is still new in the market and will take some time to get to critical mass adoption This is a window of opportunity for Nykaa to stretch its lead and fight off its rivals Nykaa’s brand value primarily comes from its online business so it must not let offline expenses hinder its online growth plans owned and private label brands play a vital role in increasing long-term profitability and repeat purchases All of this will require extensive investment from Nykaa’s leadership — there are segments in BPC where Nykaa has no private label or owned brands the question remains: Can Nykaa maintain its dominance in the online market while facing fierce competition on multiple fronts Unlock This Story & Enjoy All Members-Only Benefits With Inc42 Plus Get the most out
