Marico Share Price in Focus; To Invest ₹225.67 Crore for 60% Stake in Cosmix

Marico has signed definitive agreements to acquire a 60% stake in Cosmix Wellness for ₹225.67 crore, according to a regulatory filing on February 4.  

The deal will be executed through a cash transaction and is expected to close within about 30 days, subject to standard conditions.  

Following the transaction, Cosmix will become a subsidiary of Marico. The company also retains the option to acquire the remaining 40% stake after FY29, subject to agreed milestones and approvals.  

Valuation and Business Profile 

The transaction implies a valuation of roughly ₹375 crore for the startup. Cosmix reported revenue of ₹24.32 crore in FY24, which increased to ₹50.93 crore in FY25, according to the disclosure.  

In the 6 months from August 2025 to January 2026, the business recorded an annualised revenue run rate of about ₹100 crore.  

Founded in 2019, Cosmix sells plant-based protein powders, superfood blends and other functional food products through digital channels. 

Growing Focus on Protein Consumption 

The acquisition comes as protein-enriched foods gain wider acceptance among Indian consumers. Dairy and packaged food companies have launched higher-protein versions of milk, curd and ready-to-cook products in response to changing dietary habits. 

Protein is increasingly being positioned as part of everyday nutrition, rather than as a niche category limited to sports or fitness use. 

Addition to Digital Portfolio 

Cosmix will be part of Marico’s digital-first portfolio, which includes brands such as Plix, True Elements, Beardo and Just Herbs. These businesses together reported revenue of around ₹900 crore in the first quarter of FY26. 

Marico has set a target to scale this digital portfolio to ₹2,000-2,500 crore over the next three years through internal growth and acquisitions.

Conclusion 

The acquisition adds a plant-based nutrition brand to Marico’s portfolio at a time when protein-focused products are expanding across Indian food categories. The deal also contributes to the company’s ongoing expansion in digital-first consumer businesses.
