FMCGs buying up Ayurveda startups for healthy growth

Newspoint
Ayurveda seems to have found a sweet spot in India’s FMCG playbook as national players turn to regional and niche brands in this space to drive growth amid a slowdown.

Emami on Thursday said it is acquiring 100% stake in Axiom Ayurveda, known for ayurvedic beauty products and herbal juices, for aggregate consideration of up to Rs 200 crore.

In March, Dabur India acquired a minority stake in new-age luxury skincare brand RAS Beauty for Rs 60 crore, marking its entry into the premium ayurvedic skincare segment. Reliance Retail, meanwhile, acquired Himachal-based Pahadi Local.
