The 2024 program builds on the success of previous years with

supercharged vision for the future of Indian beauty and its impact
on the broader beauty ecosystem. This encompasses companies with
social initiatives that enhance the lives of their communities and
the ecosystems in which they operate. It also includes founders who
are developing new technologies, ingredients, or solutions that
address existing challenges for Indian beauty consumers while
driving innovation across Skin Care, Makeup, Hair Care and
Fragrance categories.

applicant pool doubled in size. This growth has significantly
enhanced the visibility and opportunities for the winners,
