According to a stock exchange filing, Honasa Consumer has picked up a 95% stake in BTM Ventures Pvt Ltd, the owner of Reginald Men, through a secondary transaction at Rs 195 crore. The deal structure includes Honasa’s acquisition of the remaining 5% stake after 12 months, subject to predefined valuation criteria. The move marks Honasa’s formal expansion into the men’s personal grooming segment, a category it has so far approached indirectly through its broader portfolio of brands.

The acquisition also strengthens Honasa’s presence in South India, where Reginald Men generates a majority of its revenue. “We are deeply inspired by what the Reginald Men team has built in such a short span. Their understanding of the modern male consumer aligns perfectly with Honasa’s long-term vision,” said Varun Alagh, co-founder and CEO of Honasa Consumer, as given in the stock filing. In terms of financials, Mamaearth’s revenue increased 16.5% to Rs 538 crore in Q2 FY26 from Rs 462 crore in Q2 FY25.
