You just have to find the solution for a problem in your own life." -Brian Chesky.
The idea of NYKAA came to Nayar’s mind when she visited a Sephora store in US. The sales associate recommended her best products and showed the best ways to use them. Though she wasn’t a regular customer of beauty products, still she had spent hundreds of dollars. She felt a need to bring this concept in India, to have all the brands in a single store. “I wanted to stand for those women who want to be beautiful for themselves, not for men or other women.” - Falguni Nayar.
