LEAP Commerce

Last week, we achieved a double-milestone in Niche Fragrances. We launched two beautiful boutiques with our partners at The Estée Lauder Companies Inc. at the prestigious Raffles City Shopping Centre. In this first post, I am proud to showcase the first KILIAN PARIS boutique in Singapore. Since the brand’s inception in escentials in 2019, we have weathered many challenges, right through even the pandemic. In close partnership with our brand partners, we have grown Kilian Paris significantly. This exquisite boutique stands as a testament to our omnichannel capabilities and commitment to long-term brand success at LUXASIA. Thank you to Shan Chen, Karen Kwek, Ashley Gay, and the entire escentials Singapore team for driving this gorgeous boutique launch, as well as the contributions of Satyaki Banerjee and Alwyn C.. I would also like to thank Camille Munnich, Olivia Foster from Estee Lauder Companies, as well as Ho Yuen Khee and Mui Neo Tan from CapitaLand for their continued support. Stay tuned – the next post unveils our gorgeous Frederic Malle boutique. #KilianParis #luxasia #asiapacificomnileader #makingadifference #drivebrands #developtalents #delightconsumers #retail #ecommerce #distribution #consumer #analytics #asiapacific #brandbuilder #omnichannel #talents #beauty #luxury #singapore

Already a billion-dollar market, the Indian #luxury #beauty market is expected to reach USD 1.6 billion by 2028 and quadruple to USD 4.0 billion by 2035. With an expected CAGR of 14%, #India is one of the fastest-growing markets in both Asia and the world. However, market entry and growth are fraught with challenges. India is a complex market – a “land of many Indias”. To succeed, brands must develop a range of region-specific (even city-specific) strategies rather than relying on a generic or single-market strategy.

The time to enter in India is NOW! Building on insights and industry interest arising from their inaugural whitepaper last year, we collaborated with Kearney on this second whitepaper titled "India's massive untapped growth opportunity in luxury beauty". This report explores the immense growth potential, complexities, and challenges of the luxury beauty market in India, along with key commercial areas for market success. While urgency is needed to capture early-mover advantage, the market entry approach needs to be carefully thought through. Given the market risks and potentially costly learning curve, brands truly need expert support to ensure a growing market presence. Having delivered solid growth for numerous brands in India so far, LUXASIA stands ready to lend our expertise and partner with international luxury beauty brands for long-term success in this promising market. Enjoy the read below. Special shout-out & thanks goes out to the following co-writers & contributors - our very own Satyaki Banerjee, Jitha Thathachari, Brynner Jananto, Praseed changarath, Sejal Bhatnagar, as well as the sharp minds from Kearney - Karan Dhall, Siddharth Pathak, Shashank Goel, Gaurav Agarwal, and team. #kearney #luxasia #asiapacificomnileader #makingadifference #retail #ecommerce #distribution #consumer #analytics #asiapacific #brandbuilder #omnichannel #talents #drivebrands #developtalents #delightconsumers #omnidistribution #luxury #beauty #niche #luxurygoods #cosmetics #fragrances #home #bathandbody #skincare #drivebrands #developtalents #delightconsumers #india

Thank you for visiting us, Dr. Wolfgang Baier. Great to have you spending time and engaging with our wonderful LEAP Commerce Vietnam Team!

Throwback to last week: A very fruitful Vietnam market visit with Dinh Nguyen and our entire LUXASIA Team, including our talents from LEAP Commerce. I was energised by the passion and enthusiasm of our Team, packed with brilliant questions and engagements during our Townhall. This was followed by a lunch with our local leadership team, a whirlwind visit of the new impressive counters for brands like La Prairie & SK-II, and an interview slated for the inaugural edition of Tatler Vietnam. Stay tuned. Undeterred by recent headwinds, we remain poised and invested for long-term growth and success in this promising market! #laprairie #luxasia #asiapacificomnileader #makingadifference #drivebrands #developtalents #delightconsumers #retail #ecommerce #distribution #consumer #analytics #asiapacific #brandbuilder #omnichannel #talents #beauty #luxury #vietnam

Our talents explore Southeast Asia with a virtual Amazing Race for a teambuilding event across our markets. From Singapore to India, our talents interacted and traversed through multiple lands to understand their respective cultures and deep heritage. The journey started from Singapore's iconic Changi Airport to Thailand for some Somtam cooking & K-Pop dance, visiting Philippines' beautiful forests and exploring Malaysia's heritage city of Malacca together. In the spirit of the Olympics, the top three teams who arrived at the final destination received medals to commemorate their win. Everyone had an enjoyable time bonding with their teammates across the different markets and functions. Check out more in the photos below.   Kudos to Ean Ean Lim and the local teams for coordinating this engaging team bonding event where our talents can have fun and get to know their colleagues from different markets and functions.   #leapcommerce #ecommerce #enabler #onestop #endtoend #consumer #analytics #asiapacific #talents #brand #onlinecommerce #supplychain #strategy #digitalmarketing #omnichannel #customerservice #performancemarketing #APAC

Our talents got into the Olympic spirit with our LEAP Fit Blitz Challenge, a two-month fitness challenge as they raced against themselves and pushed personal records. Across our different markets, it was heartwarming to see our talents inspire and motivate each other to go faster, higher and stronger.
