FSN E-Commerce Ventures, which runs Nykaa and Nykaa Fashion, is promoted by Falguni Nayar and backed by private equity firm TPG. Analysts say that with a diverse assortment of beauty, personal care and fashion products, Nykaa’s supremacy lies in its ability to retain and attract customers. Nykaa has witnessed sustained growth in GMV over the years and has the highest AOV. The dearth of PAT positive new age companies in India and its first mover advantage augurs well enabling Nykaa to command a higher premium. “We believe the company is capable of improving its financial metrics and cementing its position going forward,” Yesha Shah, Head of Equity Research, Samco Securities, said.
