According to a report by OfficeChai, Indian direct-to-consumer beauty brand Sugar Cosmetics has seen its valuation drop significantly from Rs 3,000 crore to Rs 500 crore. Co-founded by Vineeta Singh and Kaushik Mukherjee, the omnichannel cosmetics startup had previously gained widespread attention following Singh’s prominent role as an investor on Shark Tank India. The sharp markdown reflects broader valuation recalibrations across the Indian consumer startup ecosystem as D2C brands navigate tightening private funding markets, rising customer acquisition costs, and intense competition from legacy FMCG players and well-funded beauty platforms across retail channels.
