Expanding its presence in emerging markets, KIKO Milano has opened a new store at Zora The Mall in Raipur. The move strengthens the brand’s regional footprint as it focuses on growing its presence across Tier II and Tier III cities.
KIKO Milano operates in India through KIKO Cosmetics Retail Pvt. Ltd., a wholly owned entity managed by Reliance Beauty & Personal Care Limited (RBPCL), a 100% subsidiary of Reliance Retail Ventures Limited (RRVL).
Founded in Milan in 1997, KIKO Milano has emerged as one of Italy’s leading makeup brands. Drawing on Italian craftsmanship, culture and high-performance design, the brand offers trend-led cosmetics and premium formulations. It operates more than 1,400 stores across 75 international markets, combining global beauty trends with creative expression.
The brand entered India in 2019 and expanded its retail presence following its acquisition by RBPCL. As of 2026, KIKO Milano has 20 points of sale across eight cities in the country.
According to IMARC, India's cosmetics market was valued at USD 16.34 billion in 2026 and is projected to reach USD 25.39 billion by 2034, growing at a CAGR of 5.66% during the forecast period.
