Mumbai,
July 2025 : Kryolan, the global leader in professional
make-up, has announced the opening of its third store in Mumbai,
located in the culturally rich and commercially significant Colaba
district, one of South Bombay’s most iconic neighborhoods. This launch
represents the brand’s 11th retail outlet in India, coinciding with
two major milestones—80 years of Kryolan’s international legacy and 20
years of operations in the Indian market.
With its strong heritage rooted in
performance-driven make-up innovation, Kryolan has become a trusted brand for
professionals across theatre, film, television, bridal, and fashion industries
worldwide. The new Colaba store signals the brand’s sustained commitment to
geographic expansion, retail visibility, and deeper engagement with India’s
evolving beauty landscape.

global leadership, including Mr. Wolfram Langer, Managing Director
and son of Kryolan’s founder, and Mrs. Malgorzata Langer, Executive
Director. They were joined by Mr. Madhivanan Ramaswamy, CEO of
Kryolan Cosmetics India Pvt. Ltd. (KCIPL), and Mrs. Klaudia Korolec
Loretti, COO of KCIPL, underlining the brand’s high-level commitment to the
Indian market.
“This
launch is more than a new store—it’s a strategic reaffirmation of our long-term
investment in India. Mumbai has been pivotal to our India journey, and
expanding into Colaba is about acknowledging the city’s role as a creative
capital while strengthening our proximity to professionals and consumers alike.
Over the past two decades, we have seen India emerge as one of Kryolan’s most
dynamic markets. The opening of our 11th store reflects our continued
confidence in the region. We aim to empower artists, facilitate industry
collaboration, and contribute to the growing sophistication of India’s beauty
and performance industries” said Wolfram Langer, Managing
Director, Kryolan International.
“The
location for our 3rd store
was carefully chosen as Colaba is known for its blend of artistic
relevance, tourism, and consumer diversity, offering Kryolan a unique
opportunity to serve both domestic and international audiences. The store
features a walk-through layout, dedicated professional
make-up stations, and plethora of products , reaffirming
its strategic intent to offer not just retail, but a creative and
educational experience,” added Madhivanan Ramaswamy, CEO,
KCIPL.
The Colaba store also reflects the brand’s
philosophy of combining global standards with local relevance.
Kryolan’s products—designed and manufactured in its Berlin and Chennai
facilities—are formulated with professional precision, but also
tailored to local climate conditions, skin tones, and application needs.
Kryolan India has played a crucial role in training programs, and the
professionalisation of make-up education in the country. Kryolan
conceived the “Make in India” policy over 20 years ago and strategiezed R&D
localization & Production in Chennai, India.
Over the next 2–3 years, Kryolan plans to further
expand its footprint across India with additional 10 stores, regional hubs, and
enhanced digital integration. The company also plans to deepen its educational
ecosystem through masterclasses, certifications, and collaborations
with film schools, fashion institutions, and beauty academies.
The Colaba store is a continuation of Kryolan’s vision to build a
physical and creative network that supports the next generation of Indian
make-up artists, while staying rooted in a global legacy of uncompromising
quality and innovation.
