Transforming lives, spreading joy

Transforming lives through skilled beauty training

We partnered with Labournet in an effort to bring more young women into the mainstream workforce by making them skilled beauty professionals. These young women, hailing from low-income communities have the ambition to become independent and contributing members of society but at times lack the right opportunities to do so. With two centers in Bangalore and Guwahati each fully equipped with beauty stations for practical sessions, we are providing months-long beginners training and internship to women who will then go on to work at beauty salons in local neighborhoods, unlocking a new career for more women to explore and grow into.

LabourNet operates at the intersection of social impact and business performance. They link the unemployed to work opportunities, the under-employed to skilling opportunities, and boost productivity to fuel business opportunities. By finding and grooming the right talent, infusing technology at the right points, interlinking ecosystems of businesses, and managing work processes, LabourNet helps companies scale exponentially.

Empowering the future of consumer technology

Nykaa Foundation has partnered with the Indian Institute of Management-Ahmedabad (IIM-A) Endowment Fund to establish the Nykaa Chair in Consumer Technology. This collaborative programme, spanning three years, will focus on advancing research and education in the field of marketing, particularly emphasizing the scientific application of digital, social, and mobile technologies. The chair aims to provide valuable insights into the impact of these technologies on business models, customer behaviour, and broader social changes. Additionally, it will explore the incorporation of AI and machine learning in a rapidly evolving marketplace. The chair's research will also delve into economic and statistical models, examining the role of the internet and new media on consumer and firm behaviour, while also addressing the future of privacy-preserving digital advertising.
