Nykaa Fashion could break even in four years
Beauty giant Nykaa 's fashion division could break even in four years if its current trend of improvement in its earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation continues. While Nykaa Fashion remains a loss-making vertical, its executives are confident that its outlook is improving. Nykaa is charting a steady path towards profitability, posting a 40% rise in EBITDA to Rs 470 crore ($54.87 million) in the 2025 financial year, Apparel Resources India reported. The platform's gross merchandise value climbed 28% year-on-year to Rs 15,600 crore, with fashion and business to business platform Nykaa Superstore contributing increasingly to the business' overall momentum. 'Fashion is a massive opportunity- it's five times the size of the beauty market,' said Nykaa's co-founder and chief executive of its fashion division Adwaita Nayar, Apparel Resources India reported. The fashion vertical, now five years old, registered Rs 4,000 crore in gross merchandise value. 'We're currently operating at -8% EBITDA, but that's a 200 basis point improvement over the previous year," said Nayar. Offline retail contributes just 10% to GMV but plays a key role in premium and luxury sales, where it accounts for almost half. 'Actually, Nykaa has one of the highest sales per square foot in the world,' said Nayar. As Nykaa evolves into a multi-vertical player, its investments in in-house brands, retail tech, and personalisation through AI are central to its strategy for long-term growth.

Plum Bodylovin crosses Rs 100 crore milestone
Plum Bodylovin has crossed the Rs 100 crore revenue milestone, attributing this growth to its full-funnel digital execution, with around 80% of growth driven by online platforms, including its direct to customer e-commerce store. The brand also named multi-brand e-commerce platforms Nykaa, Amazon, Blinkit, and Zepto as key growth drivers in a press release. Plum Bodylovin has built double-digit market shares on key platforms through targeted, Gen Z-oriented marketing and visibility in categories like perfumes, body lotions, and gifting. The brand has reported strong traction in the quick commerce space and stated that frequent seasonal drops and giftable formats have further supported its growth. Plum Bodylovin's culture-first marketing efforts included India's first scented billboard at Cyber Hub, Gurgaon, as well as campaigns and community activations across college campuses. Influencer collaborations and Ananya Panday's brand ambassadorship added recall and reach. Known for its fragrance-led, youth-focused approach, the digital-first brand announced that it has disrupted a space long dominated by legacy FMCG names. Hero products such as the Vanilla Caramello body lotion, Marshmallow Melt collection, and viral launches like Caramel Popcorn helped drive high-repeat usage and customer loyalty. Vanilla Caramello also secured the Elle Beauty Award for Best Body Moisturiser of 2024.
