Ananya Birla, daughter of industrialist Kumar Mangalam Birla and a well-known entrepreneur, is making her mark in the corporate world by foraying into the beauty and personal care (BPC) industry.
Her new venture will introduce a line of cutting-edge beauty products, such as cosmetics and perfumes, in India during 2025. This is a strategic shift from her successful financial venture, Svatantra Microfin, which she started at the age of 17.
She posted a reel on Instagram hinting at her new venture. “And the adventure begins ….” she mentioned in the caption.
Expanding on her dedication to the family business, Ananya announced in February 2025 plans to venture into the beauty and personal care segment with a new business.
The venture seeks to introduce a line of makeup and perfume products throughout India, which mirrors her strategic interest in diversifying the group's portfolio and riding emerging market trends.
India's BPC market is growing at a furious pace, expected to touch $34 billion by 2028, fueled by rising disposable incomes and the movement towards premium, domestic brands. Ananya's journey is set to cater to Indian consumers' changing needs for products that mirror their personalities and lifestyles.
