THE WHAT? Indian cosmetics brand Colorbar is planning to launch an initial public offering (IPO) in early 2027, aiming to expand its skincare and fragrance categories and pursue acquisitions, including international brands.
THE DETAILS The company reported it has doubled revenue in the current financial year and expects to cross ₹10 billion (US$117 million) in sales in FY2025–26. Colorbar is investing in new product development, packaging updates, and retail expansion—targeting the opening of 15–20 new stores. Currently, it operates over 100 outlets and is present in 1,200+ multi-brand retailers across India. Founder Samir Modi said the company could achieve a valuation between ₹25 billion and ₹35 billion at the time of listing.
THE WHY? The announcement comes amid heightened competition in India’s beauty market, with both domestic and global players intensifying pressure on margins. Despite market volatility following other beauty IPOs (e.g. Nykaa, Honasa), Colorbar is positioning itself for scale with increased investment in skincare and fragrance, and plans to grow international revenue—targeting up to 25% of sales from the U.S. and Middle East within five years.
