Honasa Consumer, the parent company of beauty and personal care brand Mamaearth, has listed on the stock exchanges and aims to take Indian skincare products global. The company's CEO expressed the desire to make Indian beauty a global phenomenon, following the success of global beauty companies like French and Korean brands.
