- đ Time to celebrate! đ We at Unilever Ventures extend our heartfelt congratulations to Mohit Yadav & Rahul Yadav and the entire Minimalist team on this incredible milestone, as their acquisition by HUL marks a new chapter for the company, its management, and the beauty sector in India. Our Investment in Minimalist in the Series A round in July 2021 along with Peak XV Partners was rooted in our thesis on the emergence of efficacy-led beauty brands globally. Minimalist exemplified this vision for Indian consumers by offering exceptional products at highly attractive price points. Since its inception, Minimalist has stayed true to its mission of delivering efficacious, globally competitive products at accessible prices for Indian consumers, and in turn, the consumers have shown them massive love, making them one of the fastest digital-first beauty brands in the country. Remarkably, they have achieved all of this while maintaining profitability since inception, showcasing discipline & excellence in navigating a highly competitive industry. As investors, we had the privilege of witnessing Mohit & Rahulâs unwavering commitment to their mission. Their focus on doing what is right for their consumers while blocking out distractions has been nothing short of inspirational. We wish them every success as they embark on this exciting new journey with HUL, further expanding and solidifying the Minimalist brand. Big congrats to Pawan Chaturvedi and Priyanka Thakkar đ
