What is Nykaa ?

Nykaa is India's biggest beauty influencer with an extensive range of products at affordable prices and quick delivery to ensure that customers are content and satisfied with their purchases. Sellers profit from the pan-Indian product distribution channel that lets them access all parts of the country with established networks in all the tier-1 cities. Nykaa is currently receiving more than 10 million views per month. 

This is greater than PaytmMall, Limeroad and Shopclues combined. All these facts make Nykaa a solid and attractive platform for sellers. However, it's better to know some intricacies before directly getting into it. 

Best beauty and wellness platform in india .

Before you know how to sell on Nykaa fashion, looking out at the story can be helpful to know how this platform has developed and if the future of Nykaa is bright if you start selling on it.

The Story of Nykaa is a company that has revolutionised the way people shop for beauty products online in India. Founded in 2011, the company now carries over 2 lakh products from over 2,500 brands. 

Its inventory-led business model stores every single product in its warehouses and fulfils every order on the website, unlike other e-commerce platforms, which only fulfil a small percentage of the items sold.

When Falguni Nayar started Nykaa in 2011, the Indian market was very underserved for cosmetics. While in New York, she had seen companies selling cosmetics; she had no idea if Indian women would even be interested in them. 

Her hunch was correct, and Nykaa launched in April 2012, a few months after starting the company. Despite many difficulties, Falguni continued to work long hours and managed to fulfil more than 10 orders per day.

Falguni Nayar saw an untapped market for beauty products in India. She wanted to make online beauty brands more accessible to Indian women. She was passionate about makeup and wanted to change the way Indian women viewed personal grooming. 

Falguni Nayar's vision inspired her to create an online retail platform that would empower women to access luxury beauty products. She partnered with Sanjay Nayar and a group of young entrepreneurs. Today, Nykaa is one of the fastest-growing e-commerce companies in the world.

What are the Business Models on AJIO? 

AJIO B2B / AJIO JIT

One must note that AJIO is a closely curated platform. Meaning, that the team plays a large role in determining who sells, what they sell, and how they list it. Hence, it is not a pure marketplace where sellers have total control over their business on the platform. 

• AJIO B2B is a purchase order (PO) based model wherein the order is placed by various customers on the AJIO portal. AJIO then collates these orders seller-wise and sends the sellers a back-order. 

• eCommerce sellers then pack the items together in bulk and send them to AJIO. AJIO then sorts the items, order-wise, and then sends them to the customers. 

• The products need to be packed in AJIO branded packaging material. 

• Listing details are filled in by a seller as per the AJIO template and it is uploaded at the back-end by the AJIO team.

• You can process daily purchase orders on Browntape for AJIO JIT, by adding it as a channel. 

AJIO Dropship

• As mentioned earlier, AJIO has a higher degree of control over its operations. This is to maintain a uniform brand experience for its customers and not to hinder sellers.

• In AJIO Dropship, a customer’s order directly reaches the seller on his AJIO portal. If you are a Browntape user, the AJIO’s portal is already integrated with Browntape. So a seller can simply process the order via Browntape like for all his other marketplace panels. 

• The payment is made to AJIO by the customer and the payment settlement takes place periodically with the seller.

• The seller packs the items as per orders (item-wise/ order-wise) in AJIO’s packaging. The product is then shipped to the AJIO warehouse. Hereon, it is sorted and sent to the customers.
