Client Overview

The client is a Mumbai-headquartered D2C beauty and personal care brand with ₹250 crore annual revenue, available DTC and via Nykaa, Myntra, Amazon India, and Flipkart. Competing against legacy Indian brands, international labels, and a wave of new D2C entrants, the client needed continuous competitive intelligence.

Indian beauty and fashion e-commerce is exceptionally review-driven and trend-sensitive — Nykaa and Myntra collectively shape category dynamics.

Business Challenges

New Product Launch Velocity

Nykaa and Myntra listed hundreds of new beauty and fashion SKUs monthly — manual tracking missed most launches.

Ingredient Trend Detection

Indian beauty trends (ubtan, kumkumadi, niacinamide, vitamin C) drove category demand; ingredient-trend analysis was essential.

Review Sentiment at Scale

Thousands of reviews per popular SKU required NLP-driven theme and sentiment analysis.

Festive & Sale Event Pricing

Nykaa Pink Friday, Myntra End of Reason Sale, and festive events drove major pricing swings.

The client partnered with Actowiz Solutions to:

• Detect new product launches on Nykaa, Myntra, Ajio within 24 hours
