. Heartleaf 77 Clear Pads: Pre-soaked toner pads that exfoliate, clarify and calm in one swipe
“We’re thrilled to introduce Anua to the Indian market through our exclusive partnership with Nykaa,” said Founders Inc. CEO Ryan Lee, brand owner of Anua. “This marks a new milestone in our global journey and we’re here not just to launch, but to build a meaningful skincare community.”
With Nykaa Beauty’s executive director & CEO Anchit Nayar calling it “clean, calming, and results-driven,” Anua joins an elite K-beauty club already represented on the platform including Dr. Jart+, COSRX, Etude, Aestura, and Laneige.
Nykaa, which first mainstreamed Korean skincare in India, continues to lead the wave, offering Anua exclusively on its website, app, and across 230 plus retail stores.
As India’s beauty buffs grow more conscious and curious about ingredients, textures and routines, Anua’s entry is a timely ode to gentler formulations that work hard without trying too hard. It’s glow time, minus the guesswork.

Devyani International names Sandeep Anand, Robinder Singh in key roles
Pizza Hut and Costa Coffee businesses see leadership refresh from April
MUMBAI: Devyani International has strengthened its senior leadership bench with a fresh set of appointments across its key brands, Pizza Hut and Costa Coffee, signalling a sharper focus on growth and brand momentum.
The company has appointed Sandeep Anand as chief marketing officer and business head for Pizza Hut. His appointment, approved by the board via a circular resolution on April 3, follows a recommendation by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, as reported by CNBC-TV18. Anand will officially step into the role on April 6, 2026.
He takes over from Vijay Gogate, who currently serves as chief executive officer for Pizza Hut within the company’s operations. The move marks a strategic transition as the brand looks to sharpen its marketing and business playbook in a competitive quick service restaurant market.
Anand brings over two decades of experience across the food and FMCG sectors, with a strong track record in brand building and innovation. His career spans roles at major consumer-facing companies including Domino’s, Zydus Wellness, Zomato, GSK Consumer Healthcare, Reckitt and Ranbaxy, giving him a well-rounded perspective on both scale and agility.
Alongside this, Robinder Singh has been appointed business head for Costa Coffee and the company’s airport operations. He too will assume his new role on April 6, bringing more than 18 years of experience in operations, business expansion and customer experience transformation.
The twin appointments come at a time when Devyani International is doubling down on leadership depth to steer its portfolio through evolving consumer preferences and heightened competition. With fresh faces at the helm of two key verticals, the company appears set to brew up its next phase of growth with renewed energy.
