During the quarter, Tanishq added a new store in Muscat (Oman), Of the 33 new store additions (net) in India, 11 stores were in Tanishq, 19 in Mia and 3 in Zaya respectively.

Nykaa Projects 22-23% Revenue Growth

Titan Company, a joint venture between the Tata Group and the Tamilnadu Industrial Development Corporation (TIDCO), commenced its operations in 1987 under the name Titan Watches.

In 1994, Titan diversified into Jewellery (Tanishq) and subsequently into eye care.

Starting this quarter, Nykaa will introduce vertical-wise segmental reporting. The Beauty segment will encompass the online beauty platform Nykaa, its owned beauty brands, physical stores, the eB2B distribution business 'Superstore by Nykaa,' and the Nykaa Man beauty and personal care (BPC) business.

The Fashion segment will include the Nykaa Fashion platform, its owned fashion brands, the content platform LBB, and the Nykaa Man lifestyle business.

The Beauty vertical's revenue growth is expected to align with the overall company's growth at around 22-23% YoY. GMV growth for this segment is anticipated to be in the high twenties YoY, reflecting the long-term growth trajectory of the BPC industry.

However, this performance comes despite slower growth in Nykaa's physical retail business, which has been affected by elections and heatwaves in North India.

Nykaa's Fashion vertical is projected to achieve a healthy revenue growth of about 20% YoY. GMV growth for this segment is expected to be more modest, in the mid-teens year-over-year.
