Recode Studios announces INR 15 Crore sales for the year 2022

Recode Studios has always kept up with the momentum of a significant rise in revenue year-on-year (YoY) in FY22. Supported by the two pillars of quality and affordability, the brand is carving its impact in the Indian beauty and cosmetic market. The brand’s yearly sales climbed from 25 lakhs in 2018 to 2 crores in 2019 and 2020, which is 8X the growth. The brand registered an increase of 2.5% in 2021 with 5 crores in sales; and a magnificent growth rate of 300% with 15 crores by the end of 2022.

Recode Studios’ in-house brands accounted for 75% of the total revenue, while other brands accounted for the last 25%. In addition, the company claims to earn a 30% commission from selling third-party brands on its podium from an array of brands such as London Pride Cosmetics, Wow Skin Science, Riyo Herbs, Malibu, Chic Nutrix, among others, besides Recode’s in-house products.

The startup offers a range of beauty products for makeup, skincare, and more. Products such as eyeliner, primer, and liquid lipstick, account for nearly 50-60% of the total revenue, wherein the average basket value is INR 1100.

After working primarily as a D2C brand early on, Recode Studios adopted an omnichannel strategy wherein brick-and-mortar stores account for 40% of its total sales. In addition, the brand has partnered with several stores across the country and has opened over 300 offline stores and three franchise stores, with stores in Chhattisgarh and Maharashtra being on the cards. The brand intends to expand its periphery in the Northeast and the South of India and gradually, within three to four years, towards the Middle Eastern market.

The founder of Recode Studios, Mr. Dheeraj Bansal, shared,” The year 2022 marked the beginning of economic recovery, with brand growth graphs on the positive side. But with the threat of new variants of Covid hovering around the economy, things are expected to become uncertain again. But the lessons learned in the last few years will lead business entities to strategize well and make the best of the available resources.”
