Our history
 L'Oréal India
Formed in 1994, L’Oréal India is a transformative beauty leader, providing consumers with
sophisticated, safe, high quality and effective beauty products.

We market a total of 15* brands and use all the available distribution channels:

We employ more than 1,600 people across five regional locations, with two manufacturing
facilities in Chakan (Pune) and Baddi (Himachal Pradesh), which cater to 90% of India’s
requirements, two Research and Innovation facilities, and our headquarters in Mumbai.

and meet the needs of all three lines of business – hair, skin care and make-up.
Global warming is accompanied by environmental changes that threaten potentially permanent
degradation of human and natural habitats. Sea levels, melting glaciers, ocean warming and
acidification as well as extreme weather events are on the rise. With higher stakes must come stronger
commitments.

This is the reason why L’Oréal has decided to take its efforts even further through a program called
“L’Oréal for the Future”. Our commitments towards 2030 mark the beginning of a more radical
transformation and embody our view as to what a company’s vision, purpose and responsibilities
should be to meet the challenges facing the world

 Ready to Bust some Myths?
In order to work at L’Oréal, I need to know everything about beauty products, the
beauty market and already have a passion for the beauty industry.
Of course not. There‘s no harm in having certain knowledge of the industry, but it shouldn‘t
be regarded as mandatory. Instead of previous beauty knowledge, it is important, for
example, that you are able to get into the beauty market and its needs and levers, regardless
of the sector you gained your experience in before. Consequently, knowledge transfer is more
important to us than factual knowledge of the industry.

L‘Oréal is a “marketing-only” company.

Needless to say, marketing is an important topic when we put the consumer at the center of
all our activities. Marketing enables us to reach consumers in a more targeted way and to
find out exactly what they want and what they don‘t want. However, to take the consumer
journey to the next level, we need all functions and areas of activity of our company equally.
This naturally includes sales, trade marketing, product management, supply chain,
controlling, legal, research, digital marketing, e-commerce, e-shop management, business
intelligence and much more.

Only women work at L‘Oréal.

Many of our products (but certainly not all of them) are aimed primarily at women and are
therefore marketed to specific target groups. From the consumer‘s point of view, it is
therefore reasonable to assume that the majority of our employees are women. However, the
reality is different. At L’Oréal India, there is an almost equal ratio of men and women.

L‘Oréal is L’Oréal Paris.

L’Oréal Paris is a (major) brand in the L‘Oréal brand world, but not the only one. We are a
global flotilla of 36 brands and our brand world extends over four divisions: luxury products,
professional products, consumer products and active cosmetic products.
