He realized that cosmetics made for men were just not available in India and that most of the cosmetics giants just re-label women’s products as pour homme (for men). Thus, he went into further research and discovered that there were many companies around the world that make cosmetics especially for men’s skin. Thus, he came up with Menandboys, India's first retail chain for skincare, hair care, cosmetics, shaving essentials and grooming products made especially for men, from 20 brands from USA, UK, Argentina, Australia, Canada, Denmark, France and Switzerland.
