In 2021, the personal care product company had acquired ScoopWhoop for Rs 100 crore. Since, The Good Glamm is undergoing a financial crisis, it is expecting to raise capital but at a very low valuation as the existing shareholders have backed off from participating. The Good Glamm has recently laid off staff and deferred salaries of several employees. Besides, three board members also departed from the company in the recent months.
The beleaguered company has also explored sales of various brands, such as, The Moms Co., Organic Harvest, as well as, media websites such as Miss Malini, Bulbul, and PopXO.
Earlier this month The Good Glamm let go of Sirona Hygiene to its original founders. The reacquisition deal will reportedly value Sirona between Rs 150-200 crore.
