A LEAP OF FAITH

It was in 2012 that our founder Falguni Nayar left behind a lucrative,18-year-long career in investment banking to satisfy an entrepreneurial itch. What resulted was a burgeoning business that changed the way women buy beauty in the country forever. Her approach that continually kept the customer at its core, swiftly amassed 18 million loyal followers who then urged us to craft an experience just as exciting in fashion.

THE NYKAA FASHION

EXPERIENCE

We launched Nykaa Fashion in 2018, as a curated and managed market place with an endeavor to inspire consumers to make fashion and lifestyle choices that best suit them. We have a wide assortment of offerings, across price points, to cater to women, men and children of diverse demographics. Presently, Nykaa Fashion houses 1,500+ brands and over 1.8 million products across five consumer segments: women, men, kids, tech and home. Within these consumer segments, we merchandise across several categories including western wear, Indian wear, lingerie, footwear, bags, jewelry, accessories, athleisure, home décor, bath, bed and kitchen in order to cater to the diverse consumers’ journeys across our platform. We offer a mix of brands across established national brands, international brands, luxury brands, and emerging labels and designers.

I think women today are ready to be inspired and shop in a way that truly inspires them. It’s less about discounts and more about trend and quality.

This is mirrored in our mission statement -

Inspiring Indians, both men and women to make fashion & lifestyle choices that best suit them.

– Adwaita Nayar, CEO, Nykaa Fashion

WHAT SETS US APART

While we offer a wide range of products, we place strong emphasis on curation. We identify fashion-forward brands, vetting for style and quality, and further select styles within these brands to offer. We also place importance on selling full-price products, reducing reliance on discounting, and selling the latest season’s designs. In addition, we use digital content, personalized mobile application experiences and proprietary recommendation algorithms, to build differentiated style-driven, discovery-led experiences for consumers.

Our Promise

FIND YOUR MOMENT

You know that moment when you land the perfect pair of jeans? What about that moment when you find a dress that hugs you in all the right places? Or that moment when you discover shoes that go with just about everything in your closet?

THE FACES BEHIND FASHION

The Nykaa Fashion family has members from 30 Indian cities and there are three things that each of them have in common.

Passion:

They bring an extraordinary amount of it to the table

Hustle:

They have an inextinguishable hunger to take on new challenges

Heart:

They do it all while treating each other with the utmost amount of kindness and respect

A phrase that we use frequently around the office is Be Bold But Be Good. Take on new challenges, be audacious in your thinking but always remember to be thoughtful, honest, kind and humble.

– Adwaita Nayar, CEO, Nykaa Fashion

THE JOYS OF THE JOURNEY

We thoroughly enjoyed the process of building Nykaa beauty and it’s the same with Nykaa Fashion. More than the end goal, it’s about piecing something together, delighting customers and building memories with our team mates every day. This is something that I’ve learnt through C P Cavafy’s poem Ithaka, which my mother and I constantly go back to.

– Adwaita Nayar, CEO, Nykaa Fashion

As you set out for Ithaka hope the voyage is a long one, full of adventure, full of discovery. Laistrygonians and Cyclops, angry Poseidon- don't be afraid of them: you'll never find things like that on your way as long as you keep your thoughts raised high, as long as a rare excitement stirs your spirit and your body. Laistrygonians and Cyclops, wild Poseidon- you won't encounter them unless you bring them along inside your soul, unless your soul sets them upin front of you. May there be many a summer morning when, with what pleasure, what joy, you come into harbors seen for the first time; may you stop at Phoenician trading stations to buy fine things, mother of pearl and coral, amber and ebony, the sensual perfume of every kind- as many sensual perfumes as you can; and may you visit many Egyptian cities to gather stores of knowledge from their scholars. Keep Ithaka always in your mind. Arriving there is what you are destined for. But do not hurry the journey at all. Better if it lasts for years, so you are old by the time you reach the island, wealthy with all you have gained on the way, not expecting Ithaka to make you rich. Ithaka gave you the marvelous journey. Without her, you would not have set out. She has nothing left to give you now. And if you find her poor, Ithaka won't have fooled you. Wise as you will have become, so full of experience, you will have understood by then what these Ithakas mean.
