KIKO Milano Opens First South India Store at Forum Mall, Kochi

Italian beauty brand expands retail presence in southern India

KIKO Milano, an Italian professional makeup brand, launched its first store in South India at Forum, Kochi, marking a milestone in the brand’s journey in India, following launches in Delhi, Mumbai, Pune and Lucknow. 

Designed as an immersive beauty destination, the new store offers a discovery-led retail experience with curated shade and texture bars, inviting consumers to play, swatch and personalise their looks. The store brings KIKO Milano’s signature blend of innovation, trend-led formulations and accessible luxury closer to beauty enthusiasts in the region. 

Shoppers can explore some of the brand’s most iconic and best-selling products, including the 3D Hydra Lipgloss, Maxi Mod Mascara and the Scent of Milan fragrance collection. 

The expansion comes on the back of KIKO Milano’s acquisition by Reliance Retail Ventures Limited (RRVL) in 2024. The partnership strengthened Reliance Retail’s premium beauty portfolio while enabling KIKO Milano to accelerate its growth across key Indian markets. 

The launch aims to strengthen KIKO Milano’s growing omni-channel presence in India, with the brand available across select Tira beauty stores, Tira.com, and exclusive brand outlets in key cities.

KIKO Milano’s entry into Kochi underscores its long-term commitment to the Indian market and its focus on catering to culturally rich, style-conscious consumers with world-class beauty experiences.
