For instance, their flagship brand, Mamaearth, is built to service a core customer need for safe-to-use, natural products, and focuses on developing toxin-free beauty products made with natural ingredients. Mamaearth has emerged as the fastest-growing BPC brand in India to reach an annual revenue of ₹10 billion (in the preceding 12 months) within six years of launch.
