Kochi, 14th January 2026: KIKO Milano, Italy’s No. 1 professional makeup brand and a globally recognised name in premium beauty, continues to expand its footprint in India with the launch of its first store in South India at Forum, Kochi. The opening marks a significant milestone in the brand’s India journey, following successful launches across Delhi, Mumbai, Pune and Lucknow, and formally signals KIKO Milano’s entry into the South Indian market.
This expansion comes on the back of KIKO Milano’s acquisition by Reliance Retail Ventures Limited (RRVL) in 2024. The strategic partnership strengthened Reliance Retail’s premium beauty portfolio while enabling KIKO Milano to accelerate its growth across key Indian markets.
Designed as an immersive beauty destination, KIKO Milano’s Kochi store offers a discovery-led retail experience with thoughtfully curated shade and texture bars, inviting consumers to play, swatch and personalise their looks. The store brings KIKO Milano’s signature blend of innovation, trend-led formulations and accessible luxury closer to beauty enthusiasts in the region.
Shoppers can explore some the brand’s most iconic and best-selling products, including the 3D Hydra Lipgloss, Maxi Mod Mascara and the Scent of Milan fragrance collection, reflecting the brand’s global expertise and fashion-forward approach to beauty.
The launch further strengthens KIKO Milano’s growing omni-channel presence in India, with the brand available across select Tira beauty stores, Tira.com, and exclusive brand outlets in key cities. KIKO Milano’s entry into Kochi underscores its long-term commitment to the Indian market and its focus on catering to culturally rich, style-conscious consumers with world-class beauty experiences.
