The Problem

Entering India
is needlessly
hard.

Most international brands don't fail in India because of their product. They fail because of the infrastructure gap — six vendors who don't talk to each other, and nobody accountable for the full result.

01
CDSCO & BIS Compliance
3–6 months per SKU, complex documentation. One wrong step delays your entire launch.
02
No local website or payments
No India store, no UPI, no COD. Customers find you and can't buy from you.
03
No warehouse or last-mile
No local storage, no delivery network. Every order is a logistical puzzle from abroad.
04
Marketplace complexity
Nykaa, Amazon India, Flipkart — each with its own ops, content rules, and PO process.
05
Marketing that doesn't convert
Global campaigns fail in India. The market needs its own creatives, voice, and strategy.

India's beauty market hit $28 billion this year. Most international brands aren't in it.

Why import licensing
is the real decision.

Every brand entering India needs CDSCO/BIS certification and an Importer of Record. Without it, no marketplace, no warehouse, and no D2C site can legally move your product. Whoever holds that license becomes the gatekeeper of your entire India presence.

🔒

The Exclusivity Trap

Most brands give the gatekeeper role away through an exclusive launch deal with one platform. It works at first — but it locks you to one channel until the deal ends.

🔓

AKMAX Holds It Independently

We hold the import role for you, independent of any single platform — so you're never locked into one channel's exclusivity clock.

Day one, you're eligible everywhere — Nykaa, Tira, Amazon, Flipkart, Myntra,
and your own D2C site, simultaneously.
