Beauty Launchpad India Magazine - December 2015

In this issue

So as we end the year, 2015 has seen the industry upping the ante. The brands seem upbeat about the government’s ‘make in India’ policy with Givaudan setting up a new manufacturing plant in Pune. The issue of registration of imported brands specially the method has been questioned and been a matter of concern.
The salon business however seems to be growing as some brands take to franchising with gusto whilst some others still tread cautiously. The International Yoga Day is indeed a huge step forward to the revival of the ancient science in its own motherland. Some other giant steps worth mentioning would be the takeover of the New Zealand based organic products company by Emami and the strides made in the skill development arena. We see 2016 as being an unprecedented year in the growth of the beauty business in India. We wish you Season’s greetings and a Happy New year!
