KIKO Milano, Italy’s No. 1 professional makeup brand and a globally renowned name in premium beauty, has strengthened its presence in India with the launch of its first store in South India at Forum Mall, Kochi. This milestone marks a significant step in the brand’s India expansion journey, following successful store openings in major cities such as Delhi, Mumbai, Pune and Lucknow. With the Kochi launch, KIKO Milano officially enters the South Indian market, bringing its distinctive Italian beauty philosophy closer to consumers in the region.
The expansion follows KIKO Milano’s acquisition by Reliance Retail Ventures Limited (RRVL) in 2024, a strategic move that has bolstered Reliance Retail’s premium beauty portfolio while enabling KIKO Milano to scale rapidly across key Indian markets. Backed by Reliance Retail’s strong retail ecosystem and deep market understanding, the brand is well positioned to accelerate its growth and reach a wider audience across the country.
The newly launched Kochi store has been designed as an immersive and discovery-led beauty destination, offering customers an engaging retail experience. Thoughtfully curated shade and texture bars encourage shoppers to explore, swatch and personalise their looks, reflecting KIKO Milano’s commitment to self-expression and experimentation. The store embodies the brand’s signature blend of innovation, trend-driven formulations and accessible luxury, creating a space where global beauty trends meet local preferences.
Customers visiting the Kochi outlet can discover a wide range of KIKO Milano’s iconic and best-selling products, including the popular 3D Hydra Lipgloss, Maxi Mod Mascara, and the Scent of Milan fragrance collection. These offerings showcase the brand’s global expertise in makeup and fragrance, along with its fashion-forward approach to product design and performance.
