THE WHAT? Sephora has partnered with Reliance Beauty & Personal Care Limited, a subsidiary of Reliance Retail Ventures Limited, to enhance its prestige beauty retail in India, granting RRVL exclusive rights to expand Sephora’s presence in the country. This move builds on Sephora’s success since entering the Indian market in 2012, capitalising on its reputation for curated beauty experiences and products.
THE DETAILS The collaboration will see Reliance Beauty & Personal Care Limited assuming control of Sephora’s 26 Indian stores, spread across 13 cities. This transition is part of a strategic plan to grow Sephora’s footprint in India, with the stores and website continuing to operate as usual during the handover. The partnership aligns with Reliance’s expertise in the Indian retail sector and its ambition to enhance its beauty and personal care segment.
THE WHY? This initiative comes at a time when India’s beauty and personal care market is poised for significant growth, currently valued at USD 17 billion with a projected annual growth rate of 11%. RRVL’s extensive retail reach and insights into Indian consumer behaviour are expected to drive the development of Sephora in one of the world’s largest untapped consumer markets, leveraging the country’s burgeoning beauty sector.
