About
Falguni Nayar founded Nykaa in 2012 at the age of fifty after a long career in investment banking, and took it public in 2021 — a listing that briefly made her India's richest self-made woman. She built the beauty retailer on an inventory-led model with physical stores alongside e-commerce, a deliberate rejection of the pure-marketplace orthodoxy. She previously served as managing director of Kotak Mahindra Capital.
