"We highly appreciate the trust garnered on us by Mr. Sanjay Katkar. Our vision at Recode Studios is to create awareness among the masses pertaining to premium quality products with international standards at affordable prices. We look forward to using the fund to expand our retail presence with the launch of new stores and outlets across the nation.

"The beauty and personal care market is growing at an exponential rate and is expected to reach $28 billion by 2025.
