A homegrown brand, Mila Beauté caters specifically to the diverse needs of Indian consumers, creating high-performance, skincare-infused beauty essentials that celebrate Indian identity with agility, quality, and omni-channel access. The brand’s growing direct-to-consumer footprint has fulfilled over 100,000 orders in the past year, with sales pacing at one lipstick every two minutes.

Saahil Nayar, CEO and Co-founder of Mila Beauté, said, “Our last year was about proving that a homegrown beauty brand can match global standards while staying rooted in India’s unique needs. We have built strong foundations in product quality, retail presence, and consumer trust. We are focusing on building products that looks like makeup and feels like skincare, enhancing our product portfolio with new skincare infused formulations, and we intend to bring more than forty new SKUs in the next year for all Indian girls. The journey ahead is about scaling the growth momentum and crossing the ₹100 crore mark in the next year.”
Closing FY25 at ₹60 crore in revenue, the brand is now targeting ₹100 crore for next year, almost doubling its scale in the next year. As a Made in India, Made for India miracle beauty brand, Mila Beauté has been backed by strong investor confidence.
