Emami Limited has acquired the remaining stake in personalised beauty brands Vedix and SkinKraft from parent IncNut Digital in a deal valued at approximately ₹321 crore.


Deal Snapshot


  • Acquirer: Emami Limited (publicly listed FMCG company)
  • Targets: Vedix (personalised Ayurveda) and SkinKraft (personalised skincare)
  • Deal value: ~₹321 crore for the residual stake
  • Status: Emami now owns 100% of both brands
  • Earlier stake: Emami first invested in IncNut Digital in 2022 as a minority partner

  • Why Emami Doubled Down


  • Premium D2C portfolio — Vedix and SkinKraft fit Emami's push into higher-margin personal care
  • Direct consumer data — Personalisation engines and a 1.5 million+ customer base
  • Channel diversification — Strong online-first presence complements Emami's general trade muscle
  • Cross-pollination — Existing brand IP can power new sub-brands and SKUs

  • Industry Read-through


    The Vedix–SkinKraft exit is one of the cleaner D2C beauty outcomes in recent quarters and reinforces a clear pattern: legacy FMCG majors are willing to pay for digital-native brands that have proved unit economics at scale. For founders, full strategic exits to category leaders are increasingly the most realistic liquidity path.


    What Changes Now


    Brand operations, personalisation engines and supply chain will progressively integrate with Emami's enterprise systems while retaining D2C agility. Founders Megha Asthana and Chaitanya Nallan are expected to stay through the transition.
