How Minimalist Conquered India's D2C Beauty Market? - Business Case Study

Minimalist, founded by Rahul and Mohit Yadav in Jaipur, became India's biggest all-cash D2C deal when HUL acquired it for ₹3,000 crore. Built on science-backed transparency instead of flashy marketing, Minimalist focused on real results, in-house production, and strong customer trust. With The Ordinary now in India, joining HUL gives the brand the scale and distribution to dominate both online and offline beauty markets.

A powerful example of winning through differentiation and saying no to distractions.

Spark Insight: Say no to stay fast

Principle Every yes creates work; choose few, go deep. Context

Focus is speed. Spreading thin delays everything.

Try this week:

  • Define criteria for yes/no (impact, effort, alignment).
  • Use: "Thanks—let me check against priorities."
  • Park non‑priority ideas in a backlog.

The Black Swan by Nassim Nicholas Taleb

The Black Swan reveals how rare, unpredictable events—black swans—shape history, finance, and life far more than ordinary ones. Taleb urges readers to embrace uncertainty, stay skeptical of predictions, and build systems that benefit from chaos rather than fear it. A provocative look at risk, randomness, and human arrogance in an unpredictable world.
