What happened

L'Oreal signed an agreement to acquire a majority stake in Indian BPC roll-up startup Innovist, owner of Bare Anatomy, Chemist at Play, SunScoop and Vinci

Why this matters

L'Oreal setting the benchmark on Indian beauty roll-ups raises urgency to lock up remaining scaled assets like Plum, Minimalist, or Mamaearth before multiples expand further.
