Strategic Insights -

The Indian fragrance and flavour industry is expected to grow at a CAGR of 14.50% from 2024 to 2032, driven by rising disposable incomes, growing consumer focus on personal grooming, and the proliferation of global beauty trends via social media. Sacheerome, a creative entity specializing in designing and manufacturing fragrances and flavours, is coming out with its maiden IPO of 60,40,800 equity shares at a price band of Rs 96-102 per equity share.
