History

edit

Darpan Sanghvi, with the backing of L'Occitane (a French beauty conglomerate), established a D2C beauty company called MyGlamm in 2017,[13][14] which had over 800 SKUs on its D2C website and over 30,000 offline points of sales in over 70 cities. Meanwhile, back in 2013, Priyanka Gill founded POPxo, a digital community platform for millennial women that later launched its e-commerce division selling POPxo beauty products.[15] In 2020, Sanghvi teamed up with Gill and purchased POPxo for an undisclosed sum. MyGlamm then went on to acquire BabyChakra, a content and community platform for young mothers set up in August 2021 by Naiyya Saggi.[16][17][18]

In July 2021, MyGlamm secured INR 530 crore in a Series C funding round with Accel and existing investors in July 2021.[19]

In September of the same year, the merger of all three companies, MyGlamm, POPxo, and BabyChakra, resulted in the formation of the Good Glamm Group.[20][21]

In November 2021, the Good Glamm Group became India's first beauty commerce unicorn after receiving $150 million in a Series D funding round led by Prosus Ventures and Warburg Pincus.[22] Its Investors include L'Occitane, Bessemer Venture Partners, Amazon, Ascent Capital, Warburg Pincus, and others.[13]

By July 2022, the Good Glamm Group had acquired 11 companies and raised $250 million in digital media, influencer marketing, and beauty & personal care brands.[23][17][24]

In December 2022, the group acquired a 51% stake in digital media company Tweak India, owned by Indian actor Twinkle Khanna, making it their 12th acquisition. In March 2023, the group partnered with Akshay Kumar to launch a joint venture for personal care and wellness products for men.[25][10]

On 12 December 2023, the Good Glamm Group became a direct seller on Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC).[26]

In 2020-21, the group recorded consolidated revenue from operations at over Rs 49 crore along with a net loss of Rs 43.6 crore, while it registered a loss of Rs 272.9 crore in the financial year 2022–23.[5][27] Its current revenue run rate is $41 million.[28]
