Nykaa raises Rs 100 crore from existing investor Steadview Capital

Nykaa was started in 2012 by Falguni Nayar. It has raised $93.3 million excluding the lastest fund infusion by Steadview Capital

Omnichannel lifestyle retailer Nykaa has secured Rs 100 crore in funding from its existing investor UK-based Steadview Capital as a primary investment.

This comes as the Mumbai-based cosmetic retailer scaled down operations, focussing only on daily essentials, amid countrywide lockdown on account of the Covid-19 outbreak.

"Please note we are only accepting prepaid orders for now on daily essentials," the company's website said.

"We have started deliveries to select pin codes in Mumbai, Pune, Delhi and Bangalore," Nykaa said customers may experience delays in delivery due to local constraints and it was working to restart deliveries in other cities.
