XYST Nature & Science Skin Care unveils new brand logo and packaging
Mumbai: XYST Nature & Science Skin Care, the 100 per cent vegan, cruelty-free and safe skincare brand, proudly unveils its new brand logo, ensuring the company’s sustainable transformation. The new logo is part of XYST’s strategic rebranding efforts to become India’s #1 premium and affordable skincare brand and bolster its position in the industry by fostering a meaningful connection with its consumers.
The rebranding initiatives are part of XYST’s expansion plans, as it aims to reach 100 crore revenue in the next three years. The aspiration is driven by XYST’s unique value proposition as a derma-certified skincare brand, which has conducted detailed studies and tests on 12 females and males each, for eight days. While the benchmark irritation factor has been set at 0.5 per cent in India, XYST products have garnered a superior score of 0.03 per cent, which has been labelled on each product.
XYST Nature & Science Skin Care co-founder Gunjan Agarwal explained the rebranding efforts, by saying, “XYST is synonymous with premium organic products backed by science, and has gathered immense popularity for offering premium products in a pocket-friendly manner. Our new logo and rebranding initiative underlines the values that drive our mission to offer superior and safe products to millions of consumers, helping them to keep on their skincare routines. We are hoping to penetrate more geographies in the country, while keeping our natural roots intact and being dedicated to deliver 100 per cent vegan, cruelty-free, FDA-approved and derma-certified products to our consumers.”
The new logo highlights XYST’s strategic shift to enhance its connection with its vast community of consumers, irrespective of age and gender while reaching out to more individuals across India to drive business growth. In line with its vision to become the country’s top skincare brand with premium yet affordable products, the recently concluded rebranding effort has emphasised reinforcing its brand identity while highlighting its values to potential consumers. The newly unveiled logo dons a monochrome Sacramento (dark green), with subtle and meticulous attention in fonts, reminiscent of a tree trunk, symbolising the brand’s nature-friendly theme, and commitment to creating toxin-free products with unique nature-forward ingredients like Cica and Hemp.
The brand is actively working to launch a new set of hair care solution ranges by the next quarter after popular demand and strategic hirings are also in the pipeline. The rebranding efforts also come ahead of expansion plans across national borders, with XYST becoming synonymous with skincare routines in domestic and international markets. Additionally, the brand has also overhauled its digital marketplaces and its website, from premium product designs and labels to premium imagery, videos and mono carton brandings.
XYST Skincare is a distinct presence in a particularly crowded domain with its eccentric blend of cost-effectiveness, efficiency, ethical practices and inclusivity. Their commitment to offer premium, result-oriented products has established the brand as one to watch out for in a dynamic sphere, driven by excellence and innovation.

IndiGo names William Walsh CEO
Former IATA chief to take charge in August after Elbers exit, Bhatia steers interim
India’s biggest airline has moved fast and gone global. InterGlobe Aviation, which operates IndiGo, has tapped aviation heavyweight William Walsh as chief executive officer, subject to regulatory approvals, marking a sharp pivot as the carrier eyes its next burst of expansion.
Walsh, currently director general at the International Air Transport Association, will step down on July 31, 2026, and is expected to take charge by August 3. The appointment comes barely three weeks after Pieter Elbers exited the corner office, with Rahul Bhatia holding the fort in the interim.
The choice signals intent. Walsh brings decades of cockpit-to-boardroom experience, having led British Airways and later International Airlines Group, the parent of Aer Lingus, Iberia and Vueling. His tenure across carriers has been defined by hard resets, restructurings and cross-border consolidation—skills IndiGo may need as competition intensifies and scale becomes decisive.
Vikram Singh Mehta, chairman and non-executive independent director of IndiGo, said Walsh’s experience in managing large-scale airline operations and navigating complex market dynamics makes him well-suited to lead IndiGo in an increasingly competitive global aviation environment, adding that the appointment marks a new chapter as the airline scales in one of the world’s fastest-growing markets.
Rahul Bhatia said Walsh’s global perspective, operational expertise and customer-focused approach would be critical as IndiGo enters its next phase of expansion.
Walsh, widely regarded as one of the industry’s most influential figures, will oversee overall management and strategic direction, with a mandate spanning operational performance, network expansion, commercial strategy and customer experience. He is expected to work closely with the board and leadership team to sharpen IndiGo’s growth trajectory.
Walsh said IndiGo has a strong foundation and is well-positioned to capitalise on the evolving aviation landscape, adding that he looks forward to fostering a culture of excellence, innovation and sustainable value creation across the organisation.
A new captain, a bigger runway—and a market that rewards scale. IndiGo is lining up for its next take-off.
