Founder Vandana Luthra says she wants to add 64 centres globally by 2019, out of which 48 will be in India, 10 in the GCC region and the rest in Malaysia. The group plans to invest a total of Rs 80.64 crore.
Apart from this, the company is setting up a manufacturing facility in Assam which will cost Rs 28.13 crore and 15 vocational training institutes over the next three years at a total of Rs 7.35 crore.
The company is also coming up with an IPO in the next three to four months – one of the few in the beauty segment to be listed.
