[
Nykaa, in a press release after its Annual Investor Day 2026, said that it is aiming to become a beauty and lifestyle business worth more than $5 billion gross merchandise value (GMV) by FY30. The company aims to deliver 2-3x revenue growth, translating into 4-5x EBITDA growth (low to mid-teens EBITDA margin).
“Importantly, this growth is expected to be driven by disciplined execution, operating leverage and capital-efficient investments, enabling sustained margin expansion and a ROCE of over 40%, while continuing to create long-term value for shareholders,” it added.
India is emerging as one of the world’s most attractive premium consumption markets, and Nykaa is well-positioned to capture this opportunity across the lifestyle ecosystem spanning beauty, fashion, consumer brands, retail and B2B distribution, the company said. It added that today it addresses a lifestyle market exceeding $100 billion and serves 55 million consumers across beauty, fashion, wellness and adjacent categories. Over the last six years, Nykaa’s GMV has surged more than 7x, with beauty scaling 6x, Fashion 27x and House of Nykaa 10x.
What Nykaa CEO says
“The next decade will be a defining one for India’s lifestyle economy. As India progresses towards an $8–10 trillion economy by FY36, rising affluence, digital adoption and evolving aspirations will drive higher discretionary spending across beauty, fashion and lifestyle. This expanding opportunity positions us well to serve 200 million cumulative consumers by FY36,” said Falguni Nayar, Executive Chairperson, Founder and CEO of Nykaa.
