THE SITUATION

A pioneering startup in the Beauty and Personal Care sector approached INTIN with an ambitious challenge: build a premium, science-backed skincare brand entirely from scratch —in one of India's most competitive and saturated consumer categories. The founders had a compelling, differentiated technology proposition but no prior industry experience, no existing infrastructure, and limited resources.
They needed a partner who could simultaneously act as strategic leadership, operational architect, and go-to-market executor — across brand, product, supply chain, digital, and finance.
