Business
Paramount Cosmetics (India) Limited manufactures and markets traditional and premium cosmetic products primarily for women in India, with select offerings for men. The company produces color cosmetics including sticker bindis, liquid kumkum, sindoor, kajal, and eye shadows under the flagship Shilpa brand; premium cosmetics such as instant eye shadow applicators under the Kromme brand; and men's grooming products like deodorants (Instinct St. Tropez, Caribbean, Ibiza, Geneva, Morocco), aftershave moisturizing gels (Amazon, Rio, Caribbean), non-sticky hair styling creams, skin exfoliating revival gels, skin renewal gels, moisturizing creams, and aloe vera body lotions under the Instinct brand. It operates in the personal care products industry, focusing on safe, hygienic, indigenously made items tailored to Indian beauty needs, and distributes through organized channels across India. Founded in 1985 and headquartered in Bengaluru, Karnataka, the company maintains manufacturing facilities in India and serves domestic markets with no significant international operations noted. Paramount Cosmetics has a wholly owned subsidiary, Premier Cosmetics, and lists its shares on the BSE under the ticker 507970 (PARMCOS-B.BO). In recent years, the company sold non-operational manufacturing assets, including a unit in Vapi, Gujarat, and another factory premises worth Rs 1.3 crore in H1 FY24, to improve liquidity and partially repay cash credit limits amid restructured bank facilities. It held its 40th Annual General Meeting in September 2025 and continues to report modest operational scale with ongoing board meetings for financial updates into late 2025. No major partnerships, acquisitions, funding rounds, or new product launches were announced in the last 1-2 years, with focus remaining on core brands and domestic sales amid fluctuating profitability.
