Data Scientist freshers

DATA ENGINEER

Overview

They started with a singular belief - what is beautiful cannot and should not be defined in marketing meetings. It's defined by the regular people like us, our sisters, our next-door neighbours, and the friends we make on the playground and in lecture halls. That's why we stand for people-proving everything we do. From the inception of a product idea to testing the final formulations before launch, our consumers are a part of each and every process. They guide and inspire us by sharing their stories with us. They tell us not only about the product they need and the skincare issues they face but also the tales of their struggles, dreams and triumphs. Skincare goes deeper than skin. It's a form of self-care for many. Wherever someone is on this journey, we want to cheer them on through the products we make, the content we create and the conversations we have. What we wish to build is more than a brand. We want to build a community that grows and glows together - cheering each other on, sharing knowledge, and ensuring people always have access to skincare that really works.
