Dr. Kaustav Guha has taken on the role of Vice President of Research & Development at Honasa Consumer Limited, the parent company of popular brands like Mamaearth, The Derma Co., Aqualogica, Bblunt, and Dr. Sheth’s. His appointment highlights Honasa’s ongoing commitment to enhancing its product offerings and developing cutting-edge formulations across its diverse brand portfolio.
With a rich background in product development at well-known global and Indian companies such as L’Oreal and Marico, Dr. Guha brings a wealth of experience to his new role. An alumnus of IIT Kharagpur and Durham University in the UK, he will lead efforts in advancing new technologies aimed at improving product formulations and fostering innovation within the company.
This leadership change comes at a time when Honasa Consumer is focused on strengthening its R&D capabilities, particularly following its recent acquisition of CosmoGenesis Labs. The acquisition provides the company with access to thousands of formulations, further enabling its mission of delivering high-quality beauty and personal care products to a global audience.
Dr. Guha’s appointment adds to Honasa’s strategy of building a strong foundation in clean beauty and science-based formulations, as the company continues to expand its reach and develop solutions tailored to consumer needs. His expertise will be instrumental in pushing forward the brand’s vision for the future of skincare innovation.
Previously, Honasa Consumer made headlines with other notable moves, including the departure of Chief Product and Technology Officer Jayant Chauhan, signaling the company’s dynamic approach to leadership and product development.
