Minifeel offers premium skincare and cosmetic products like serums, cleansers, makeup and more in mini/trial packs, allowing customers to try out any product at affordable costs (almost 1/4th of the price). The company also serves as a marketing channel for brands to help create awareness among the right consumers at zero cost. Minifeel provides a win-win proposition for brands as well as consumers as it provides a cost-effective platform for consumers to experience various cosmetics products and an innovative customer acquisition tool for beauty brands, added the statement.

"As the beauty industry thrives, Minifeel is trying to carve its own path and establish a distinct identity. With its steadfast vision to lead the industry by being customers' preferred go-to for trying new products, we are delighted to be the first institutional investors in Minifeel. The depth of the target market is enormous and is growing further. Therefore, we are optimistic that Minifeel is poised for rapid growth and success," said Ninad Karpe, founder and partner, 100X.VC.
