India has a vast, talented community of hair stylists, yet access to national platforms and advanced skill-building remains limited. To bridge this gap, Godrej Professional, the professional hair care brand under Godrej Consumer Products Limited (GCPL), has launched Godrej Professional Spotlight—an initiative offering hair stylists a national stage to showcase their creativity. This program will recognize three talented hair stylists and give a boost to their professional aspirations with a funding of up to INR 5 lakhs.
From all entries, 30 hair stylists will be shortlisted and flown to Mumbai for the Godrej Professional Spotlight grand finale in December, where they will showcase their curated looks in a grand hair show. Commenting on the initiative, Abhinav Grandhi, General Manager, Godrej Consumer Products Limited (GCPL), said, “With over 6 million salons, India’s salon industry is one of the fastest-growing sectors, yet it lacks platforms to truly showcase talented hair stylists.”
“As the salon industry in India continues to experience remarkable growth, driven by increasing consumer aspirations, the importance of skill development for professionals is paramount,” added Monica Bahl, CEO, Beauty & Wellness Sector Skill Council (B&WSSC).
