Sirona eyes Rs 100-cr revenue in FY23, to expand its product range

Sirona Hygiene aims to log a revenue of Rs 100 crore in FY23 as it expands its product range and ramps up presence in offline retail channels in the country. The feminine hygiene product company, which is working towards increasing dialogue around feminine health and hygiene often considered taboo topics is also looking at raising fresh funding in the coming months.

"The growth has been encouraging, we've been growing 100 per cent year-on-year and the beauty is that we've done this with a very little funding. At the same time, we've stayed profitable. So, we are among the few start-ups in the D2C space in our category who have been able to do this while staying profitable," he said. The company had registered a Rs 14-crore revenue in FY20, which grew to about Rs 26 crore in ...

Shampoo, eye cream and a chemical crackdown

The last time Congress thoroughly overhauled the regulation of personal care products like cosmetics and shampoo, World War II had not yet begun.Nearly 80 years later, personal care is a multibillion-dollar business, and many of the ingredients used in soaps and face creams are complex - and potentially dangerous - chemical compounds. But the laws on the books have not kept up with the times: If a shampoo makes your hair fall out, no government agency can easily compel a recall.That could change soon. Legislation that would introduce a far more serious degree of regulatory oversight to the personal care products industry is proceeding in the Senate and the House of Representatives. Consumer safety groups are pushing for stricter laws. And the call for more stringent oversight of the industry is coming from a coalition of companies that includes Beautycounter, a plucky start-up that is pitching natural face creams as well as regulation.Beautycounter is the brainchild of Gregg Renfrew, a
