Ananya Birla enters beauty market with new premium brand Lovetc
India’s beauty and personal care market is currently worth USD 629.42 million (FY2024) and is projected to grow to over USD 1.3 billion by FY2032, offering a major opportunity for homegrown brands like Lovetc.

The Office of Ananya Birla, part of the Aditya Birla Group, has entered the beauty space with the launch of Lovetc, a new premium cosmetics brand aimed at filling the gap in India’s market for high-performance colour cosmetics.

The move follows the earlier launch of Contraband by Birla Cosmetics Private Limited (BCPL) and is part of the company’s broader plan to build a strong beauty portfolio based on consumer insights and product innovation.

To boost the brand’s appeal, Indian actress Janhvi Kapoor has been signed on as Lovetc’s exclusive brand ambassador. Her association is expected to strengthen Lovetc’s connection with young, aspirational beauty consumers across the country.

She added that with a consumer-first strategy, the company aims to capture 5-8% of India’s fast-growing cosmetics market, positioning Lovetc for long-term success both locally and internationally.
