Cosmetics retailer Nandini announced plans to launch 120 additional parlours across Bengaluru, a move it says is driven by growth ambitions after a recent dispute with Amul over a metro advertisement.
Nandini, a prominent cosmetics and personal‑care brand, disclosed its intention to set up 120 new parlours in Bengaluru over the coming months. The expansion will add to its existing network of outlets in the city, targeting high‑traffic neighbourhoods and shopping complexes.
The announcement comes shortly after a public row with dairy giant Amul over a metro advertisement that featured both brands. While the dispute drew media attention, Nandini indicated that its expansion plans were already in motion and are part of a broader strategy to capture a larger share of the South Indian beauty market.
Industry analysts note that the rollout could create several hundred jobs and intensify competition among beauty‑service providers in Karnataka’s capital. If executed as scheduled, the new parlours will increase Nandini's retail footprint by a significant margin, reinforcing its position as a fast‑growing player in the domestic cosmetics sector.
