Winston reports fivefold revenue and profit growth

Personal grooming and lifestyle brand Winston India has reported fivefold growth in its sales, revenue, and profits since appearing on entrepreneurial television show Shark Tank India. The business has also seen its customer base increase from between 15,000 and 20,000 to around 100,000 individuals. 

“The experience on Shark Tank and the subsequent growth have been nothing short of phenomenal,” said Winston India’s co-founder Himanshu Adhlaka in a press release. “We are immensely grateful for the mentorship provided by Vineeta and Anupam, their guidance helped us strategise, plan, and network. They not only helped us with better industry insights but also suggested where we should invest, and where we should not. This has been instrumental in guiding us on the right path.”
 
The business has also expanded its retail footprint online and launched on platforms including Vanity Wagon, Tata 1Mg, Jio Mart, Tira Beauty, Net Mets, Ajio, BlinkIt, and Cred. Winston India reported that its skincare and trimmers segments have emerged as its most popular product lines. 

“Congratulations team Winston on one year since Shark Tank,” said Sugar Cosmetics’ co-founder and CEO Vineeta Singh, who invested in the business on Shark Tank. “It was amazing to collaborate with Winston India and bring the brand from Rs 5 crore to Rs 15 crore, and I am sure Rs 100 crore is not far away. Good Luck!”
 
To celebrate its growth, Winston India has launched the ‘Winston Shark Tank Sale’ on its e-commerce store. The promotion offers discounts of up to 70% off on select products. 
 
“Congratulations Winston India on this epic journey from Shark Tank and beyond,” said fellow investing Shark and Shaadi.com’s founder Anupam Mittal. “We are very proud to see how much your brand has grown and can’t wait to see it dominate the personal care market in the country.”
