According to the brand, the funding is the largest amount of capital raised by any DTC beauty brand in India in a single round.
MyGlamm crossed the $100 million valuation mark within three years of its launch.
The funds will be used to invest in product development, support data science and technology research, increase offline expansion, fund working capital requirements, and expand content creation capabilities and digital reach of its Popxo and Plixxo platforms.
MyGlamm was founded in 2017 by Darpan Sanghvi and co-founded by Priyanka Gi. The brand offers a range of more than 600 cruelty-free and vegan products in makeup, skin care and personal care.
Sanghvi said, "It is extremely exciting to have Ascent Capital, a prolific investor in the Indian consumer internet space, along with two incredible investors with strong experience in building brands, Amazon and Wipro Consumer, join our cap table. Through L’Occitane’s investment in MyGlamm, I have experienced first-hand the value that such investors can bring to a start-up. And we are really excited about all that we will be able to learn from both, Amazon and Wipro Consumer along with the financial rigor that Ascent Capital brings, as we move forward to fulfil our vision of building India’s largest beauty company leveraging DTC, digital, and data."
Gill said, "When POPxo-Plixxo was acquired by MyGlamm in August 2020, Darpan and I laid out an ambitious roadmap. Not only did we meet our goals ahead of plan, but we surpassed them. Now, with this fundraise, we will further invest in enhancing our content and influencer capabilities to not only build out MyGlamm as India’s largest beauty company but also consolidate POPxo as the India’s leading digital destination for women and Plixxo as India’s most engaging influencer platform.”
