  • Falguni Nayar: The billionaire founder of Nykaa who dared to dream at 50

    Falguni Nayar: The billionaire founder of Nykaa who dared to dream at 50

    Mumbai: An IPO banker for close to two decades, Falguni Nayar the billionaire founder of beauty startup Nykaa had led many companies to the stock market. As someone who always nurtured the ambition of becoming an entrepreneur, steering her own company to stellar IPO was the most fulfilling experience.

    Nayar is today the richest self-made woman billionaire in India. She is among the country’s 20 richest people. But that’s not all. What makes the stock market debut of her business unique is the fact that it is the only profitable unicorn going public and an exceptional new-age firm where its promoter group still owns more than half the company. The Sanjay Nayar Family Trust which includes Nayar, her husband and their two twin children holds more than 53 per cent in FSN E-Commerce Ventures, Nykaa’s parent company.

    FSN E-Commerce Ventures launched its IPO on 28 October to raise as much as Rs 5,352 crore by offering shares in a price band of Rs 1,085-1,125 apiece. The share price nearly doubled over the IPO range on the listing, ascribing India’s biggest cosmetics etailer a market cap of over Rs one lakh crore and its founder Falguni Nayar a net worth of nearly $7.5 billion. On Wednesday, Nykaa was listed at nearly 80 per cent premium and ended the day 96.15 per cent higher than its issue price at Rs 2,206.70—that translates to a market capitalisation of Rs 1,04,360.85 crore on day one, according to the Economic Times.

    An alumnus of Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad, and former managing director of Kotak Mahindra Capital Company, Falguni Nayar founded Nykaa in April of 2012 when she was nearing 50. With her family and professional responsibilities balanced, and having gained two decades of experience guiding businesses to success, she felt it was the perfect time to take the entrepreneurial plunge. Within less than a decade her brainchild Nykaa became one of the most successful e-tailers in the country and among the few profitable start-ups in India. It entered the unicorn club in March 2020.

    It has been a journey of dreams and determination, but unlike many others in the Indian start-up ecosystem it was guided by a larger vision and practical business outcomes. In an interview with Moneycontrol.com Nayar revealed that the most valuable learning she imbibed from Uday Kotak was the importance of corporate governance and a financially sustainable approach to business. In a discount and fancy-metrics-led e-commerce market, she decided to run Nykaa with a focus on quality, product benefits, and variety rather than on heavy discounting. Her vision for the company is to see it evolve as a ‘house of brands,’ national and international.

    Since its launch, Nykaa expanded its product categories by introducing online platforms Nykaa Fashion and Nykaa Man. Delivering a comprehensive Omnichannel e-commerce experience, it offers 4,078 brands and over 3.1 million product SKUs through its 80-odd brick-and-mortar stores, website, and mobile applications. Nykaa has launched its private labels Nykaa Cosmetics, Nykaa Naturals and K-Beauty (with Indian actor Katrina Kaif as celebrity brand endorser). The company entered luxury offerings in 2016. Recently, it acquired Dot & Key Skin Care brand to address the gaps in the market. Nykaa also launched a global store thus ensuring the availability of the largest variety of luxury brands on its platform.

    The beauty e-commerce business is run by Nayar’s son Anchit – a Columbia University Graduate. Her daughter Adwaita has an MBA from Harvard Business School. She operates the fashion vertical. She is married to KKR India CEO Sanjay Nayar.

  • Conviction comes from the society & your country, says Star India’s Uday Shankar, E&Y’s ‘Entrepreneurial CEO’ award-winner

    MUMBAI: “The conviction comes from the society, the world and the country you live in,” Star India chairman and CEO Uday Shankar said to a question on the conviction of taking billion-dollar bets on various major steps in the industry after winning the “Entrepreneurial CEO’ award of the year 2016 by EY, the consulting firm formerly known as Ernst & Young.

    The citation for the “Entrepreneirial CEO” stated: With a background in journalism, he seemed to be an unconventional choice to be a CEO of a global media corporation. But, his deep curiosity, disruptive thinking, and restless sense of pace sparked off a series of bold moves across digital platforms, regional entertainment, sports leagues and differentiated content which resonates with a varied audience, and all this has helped his organisation become an undisputed leader in India’s media and entertainment sector.

    On convincing STAR’s global shareholders, he said, “I have to do just one thing — to convince them about the possibilities and potential in India. The rest followed. I am very lucky to work for an entrepreneurial company where the promoters’ genes itself is about (the promoters believe) taking risks in a democracy with a billion people.” “It all boils down to the potential that my company sees in India, which we have been able to harness,” Shankar said.

    A distinguished independent jury led by Sun Pharmaceuticals MD Dilip Shanghvi had selected the finalists. Other members included Tata Communications chairman Subodh Bhargava, Info Edge (India) executive vice-chairman Sanjeev Bikhchandani, Max Financial Services chairman Naina Lal Kidwai, Kotak Mahindra Bank MD Uday Kotak, and JP Morgan Chase CEO – south Asia and India Kalpana Morparia.

    CNBC-TV18’s Shereen Bhan talks business before Budget 2014

    MUMBAI: She is the most familiar face of Indian business news channel, providing investors and corporate India with insights about the dynamics of Indian economy and financial markets.  

     

    CNBC-TV18 managing editor Shereen Bhan, who anchors and produces several shows such as Young Turks, India Business Hour and Power Turks, is neck deep in work with the rail budget already announced and one day to go for the much awaited maiden budget to be presented by the new Narendra Modi led BJP government at the helm.

     

    While most channels are looking at concentrating on one aspect, Bhan says that their perspective will be a 360 degree angle one. “The key question we will be asking is if the budget will be able to deliver. There will be a sharp focus on market reactions, the stance taken by other countries giving India a thumbs up and about investment in domestic capital. We will analyse the long term and short term ideas the government has as well as the reforms that will be taken up to revive the economy. We will also look at how the fiscal deficit can be improved by the new government. While the analysis will primarily be on the domestic economy, we will also look at the budget from a political angle and try to draw political reactions.”

     

    The guest line-up includes India’s corporate giants like HDFC Bank chairman Deepak Parekh, HSBC India country head Naina Lal Kidwai, Godrej chairman Adi Godrej, Kotak Mahindra vice chairman Uday Kotak, GVK vice chairman Sanjay Reddy, TPG Growth India chairman Manish Chokhani and Helios Capital founder and fund manager Samir Arora. Foreign investors and rating agencies will also give their take on the budget.

     

    To get a political perspective political parties like BJP, Congress, TMC, CPI (M) and leaders such as Jyotiraditya Scindia and Sitaram Yechury will be on air.

     

    Bhan, who will be on air right from morning 8 am till late night, will be tracking foreign direct investment in the news sector and reforms in the capital markets and infrastructure sector.

  • Banks occupy moderate news space on TV compared to advertising budgets: Esha Media

    Banks occupy moderate news space on TV compared to advertising budgets: Esha Media

    KOLKATA: Commercial banks in the country hold a relatively negligible news space in the television spectrum compared to their advertising budgets. 

     

    Also, CNBC TV18 continues to occupy the top slot in banking news space followed by Bloomberg TV.

     

    According to a study conducted by Esha Media Research, State Bank of India (SBI) among all the other banks including the regulator –the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) occupied the maximum space on TV of 20.30 hours in the month of May 2014 that was equivalent to spending Rs 32.73 crore on advertising.

     

    “In other words, SBI, which has an annual budget of close to Rs 400 crore as per its annual report, got itself covered on the merit of news worth Rs 32.73 crore,” said media monitoring agency Esha Media Research managing director RS Iyer.

     

    “Even if the annual budget of SBI is shared in equal proportion between print and TV, the gap between news space and advertising space is extremely wide,” Iyer added.

     

    The study covered around 10 banks, both from the public and private sector. The total coverage cumulatively achieved in terms of advertising replacement value on TV was Rs 231 crore in May 2014 compared to Rs 214 crore in April 2014, Iyer informed referring to the study.

     

    During the month of May, there was a trend reversal with public sector bank occupying more space than private sector banks, who had in April occupied more TV news space.

     

    The Reserve Bank of India followed SBI in occupying more TV space though there was no credit policy statement during the month.  Fourth quarter earnings of banks were key topics that governed the news spectrum during the month.

     

    Among the individual spokesperson, RBI governor Raghuram Rajan occupied the top slot followed by Uday Kotak of Kotak Mahindra Bank.

  • TV18 to raise Rs 2 billion, open to print entry

    TV18 to raise Rs 2 billion, open to print entry

    MUMBAI: Raghav Bahl-promoted TV18 is raising Rs 2 billion through a fresh equity issue to fund its organic and inorganic expansion plans.

    The company is keen to acquire a business newspaper, completing the chain across television channels, internet and print. Sources say TV18 is eyeing financial daily Business Standard where Uday Kotak is the largest shareholder and the others include Financial Times and Great Eastern Shipping.

    TV18 has mandated HSBC and will raise Rs 2 billion through a qualified institutional placement (QIP). The funds are being kept ready as the company plans to expand its business and is also hunting for opportunities in new areas.

    “We are going for a QIP issue of Rs 2 billion,” confirms TV18 Group managing director Bahl. “We have several expansion plans. We are also looking at an opportunity in the business print space but nothing has come up,” he adds, while defending against any suggestion of pursuing talks with Business Standard.

    The QIP issue will involve a small dilution as regulations make it mandatory for Network 18, the holding company for TV18 and Global Broadcast News (GBN), to own at least 51 per cent in the news ventures. The current holding of Network 18 in TV18 is 53 per cent while in GBN it is 57 per cent (post-IPO).

    Network 18 also has non core TV businesses in Studio 18 and Shop 18. The company expects Studio 18, which is engaged in movie business, to rake in a revenue of Rs 1 billion in the first full year of operations. The plan is to produce a movie every month. In Shop 18, the 24-hour television network dedicated to home shopping, trial runs have been conducted and the call centres are coming into place.

    Network 18 has already raised a debt of Rs 700 million which will take care of its current funding needs, the source says while not ruling out further fund raising exercises in future.

    TV18 houses two business channels, CNBC TV18 and CNBC Awaaz, a clutch of internet properties, financial wire service Crisil Marketwire (which was recently acquired and renamed Newswire 18) and an e-broking venture with partners.
