    Honasa Consumer Limited (Mamaearth) IPO Strengths:

    • The BPC products market in India is undergoing a fundamental re-industrialization owing to the convergence of technology, demographic dividend, and growing consumer aspirations. Moreover, the market for BPC products in India is expected to grow from approximately $17 billion in 2021 to approximately $30 billion in 2026 at a CAGR of approximately 12%, which is among the highest within the broader retail categories and faster than other retail categories

    • Millennials in India are becoming increasingly conscious of their beauty and personal care needs and the brands they consume. Moreover, they are also more acutely oriented towards new-age innovations that cater to their specific needs and preferences, as compared to mass market propositions that cater to more mainstream or functional need spaces. Keeping with Honasa Consumer Limited’s customer-centric approach, the company has responded to this changing consumer dynamic and has introduced new BPC brands and products in its portfolio over the last six years.

    • Honasa Consumer Limited launched at least 2.6 times the number of new SKUs than the BPC industry median in Financial Year 2022. This ability to successfully introduce new innovations, and conceptualize and build new brands have been and will continue to be critical to the company’s success

In a short period of time since its launch in 2016, Mamaearth became India’s most searched BPC brand on Google Trends between January 2020 and November 2022

    • Honasa Consumer Limited’s omnichannel network allows it to be present across various touchpoints and serve its consumers wherever they shop. The company’s distribution model is led by its digital presence (DTC and e-commerce marketplaces), from which it derived ₹659.53 crores and ₹429.12 crores of revenue, accounting for 69.91% and 59.37% of its total revenue from operations from all the brands during the Financial Year 2022 and the six months period ended September 30, 2022, respectively.

    • Honasa Consumer Limited has adopted a marketing model through which it activates consumer engagement initiatives across multiple media platforms and channels. With a combination of digital and traditional marketing, it delivers a consistent narrative about the brands and their proposition across all touch points relevant for the consumers. Through these initiatives, Honasa Consumer Limited aims to target consumers across the entire marketing funnel from creating awareness to driving consideration and conversion for the brands.

    • Honasa Consumer Limited has strategically built an asset-light scalable business model by developing in-house capabilities for strategic functions such as technology, product innovation and marketing while outsourcing other operations such as manufacturing, as indicated by the restated profit before tax of ₹22.44 crores and ₹9.13 crores, and our invested capital in business of ₹81.21 crores and ₹91.24 million, for the Financial Year 2022 and the six months period ended September 30, 2022, respectively

     

    Honasa Consumer Limited (Mamaearth) IPO Risk Factors:

    • Honasa Consumer Limited’s brand reputation may be adversely affected in many ways. For example, any failure by its contract manufacturers to comply with their contractual obligations, including maintenance of requisite licenses and approvals, the quality control and assurance standards; retail of counterfeit products in the market; and unsatisfactory customer service could adversely impact the brand reputation of the company and subject it to additional risks and scrutiny, which could have an adverse effect on the business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.

    • Honasa Consumer Limited is dependent on several third party service providers to sell or distribute its products to consumers, and on third party technology providers for certain aspects of its operations. Any disruptions or inefficiencies in these operations may adversely affect the business, financial condition, cash flows, and results of operations

    • Honasa Consumer Limited faces intense competition which may lead to a reduction in its market share, cause it to increase its expenditure on marketing and promotion as well as cause it to offer discounts, which may result in an adverse effect on the business and a decline in its profitability.

    • Honasa Consumer Limited may not be able to successfully identify and conclude acquisitions, or manage the integration of or harness synergies from acquired businesses, or the performance of such acquired businesses may be below the company’s expectations, any of which may adversely affect the business, results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition.
