Oriflame Targets India as Its Largest Global Market by 2030

Oriflame, the Swedish holistic beauty and wellbeing brand, is targeting India to become its largest market globally by 2030, with the country expected to contribute one in every four euros of the company’s global revenue, up from around one in every ten euros today. As part of this ambition, the company plans to add 10 lakh new Beauty Entrepreneurs by 2030, further expanding its direct-selling network across the country.

The ambition marks a significant expansion in the role India is expected to play in Oriflame’s global business. The company plans to build on its current presence of Oriflame Leaders across 517 towns and cities, with the next 500 towns and cities, particularly across Tier 2 and Tier 3 locations, forming an important part of its expansion strategy. Oriflame also aims to add 10 lakh new Beauty Entrepreneurs by 2030, significantly expanding its direct-selling network and taking its products and entrepreneurship opportunity to more consumers and communities across the country.


India’s next phase of growth builds on more than 30 years of Oriflame’s presence in the country. With rising consumer demand beyond major metros, increasing participation of women in the workforce and growing adoption of digital tools, the company sees significant headroom to expand its beauty and wellbeing proposition and its community of Beauty Entrepreneurs.


At the heart of Oriflame’s model is its Beauty Entrepreneur community, with more than 80% of Brand Partners in India being women. The company aims to create opportunities for Brand Partners to build an additional source of income through Beauty Entrepreneurship, supported by flexibility, training and digital tools. This model will remain central to Oriflame’s expansion as it reaches new markets across India.


Kenneth Benaim Campbell, CEO and President, Oriflame, said, “India represents much more than a growth opportunity for Oriflame; it is becoming increasingly important to our global ambition. What makes the market particularly distinctive is the combination of a large and evolving consumer base, entrepreneurial energy and a strong appetite for beauty and wellbeing. Our role now is to build on the foundation we have created over three decades and unlock the full potential of the market, while ensuring that India becomes an increasingly important contributor to Oriflame’s global future.”


India’s growing strategic importance could extend beyond the domestic market. Oriflame is strengthening its manufacturing capabilities in India through recent partnerships such as Akums, while exploring opportunities to further scale local production and potentially serve select international markets from the country.


Oriflame will continue to strengthen its beauty and wellbeing portfolio while investing in the tools, training and technology that enable Beauty Entrepreneurs to build their businesses. The company will use digital capabilities to strengthen discovery, engagement and business development, while retaining trust, personal recommendation and community at the heart of its direct-selling model.


Orkun Gul, Chief Commercial Officer, Oriflame, said, “India is a market where beauty is deeply personal, and where trust and recommendation continue to play an important role in how consumers discover and choose products. This creates a strong foundation for Oriflame’s model, but the opportunity also requires us to keep evolving with the consumer. Our focus will be on combining the strength of personal relationships with better digital experiences, relevant products and stronger commercial capabilities, so that our Beauty Entrepreneurs can serve consumers in ways that are increasingly seamless, local and relevant.”


As Oriflame looks towards 2030, India is expected to play a substantially larger role in its global business. The company will build on its 30-year foundation in the country to expand its consumer and Beauty Entrepreneur communities, deepen its geographic reach and explore opportunities for India to contribute to Oriflame’s global growth.

Top Three Reasons Walnuts Are Good For Your Heart

Heart disease remains the leading cause of death worldwide,1 But healthy dietary practices are known to help prevent and treat heart disease. The American Heart Association (AHA) recommends including four and a half or more cups of fruits and vegetables daily, two or more servings of fish per week, fiber-rich whole grains, and four or more servings a week of nuts, legumes and seeds to help lower one’s risk of heart disease.2 Adding walnuts is an easy and delicious way to make meals more heart healthy.3 In fact, AHA has even certified walnuts as a heart-healthy food through its “Heart-Check mark” program.
 

Walnuts for heart health
 

Here are a few reasons why including walnuts in your diet is a smart choice for you and your heart.

  • For over two decades, walnuts have been shown to improve cardiovascular risk factors by lowering LDL (bad) cholesterol by 9-16%, and diastolic blood pressure by 2-3 mmHg.4 These two risk factors are major contributors to heart disease risk.

  • They are the only nuts that are a rich source of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), a plant-based essential omega-3 fatty acid that has positive anti-inflammatory effects.5 Research has found that omega-3 fatty acids may decrease the inflammatory marker C-reactive protein (CRP) in those with high cholesterol.5 Walnuts contain 2.5 grams of ALA per ounce.

  • When walnuts are part of an overall eating pattern such as the Mediterranean diet (a diet rich in fish, vegetables, fruits, olive oil and nuts), your risk of heart disease and stroke may be significantly reduced. A recent study shows that, among persons at high cardiovascular risk, a Mediterranean diet supplemented with extra-virgin olive oil or nuts, including walnuts, reduced the incidence of major cardiovascular events.6
     

So how do you include walnuts in a healthy diet to help lower your risk of heart disease?

  • Include walnuts in meals and snacks, along with a diet low in saturated fats and cholesterol.

  • Choose walnuts to snack on four to five times per week. Just a handful of nuts (1 ounce) will make you feel satisfied.

  • Sprinkle chopped walnuts on salads, vegetables, in dips, or as part of mixed dishes.

  • Try new recipes using walnuts by going to the California walnuts recipe page to see how great chefs have used walnuts in heart-healthy recipes.
     

Always store your walnuts in the refrigerator or freezer so they stay fresh. And start to think of walnuts as part of a heart-healthy eating plan – not just for special occasions. Remember that when you include walnuts as part of a healthy eating plan, you are lowering your risk of heart disease.3

FDA approved claim: Supportive but not conclusive research shows that eating 1.5 ounces of walnuts per day, as part of a low saturated fat and low cholesterol diet, and not resulting in increased caloric intake may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease; One ounce of walnuts provides 18g of total fat, 2.5g of monounsaturated fat, 13g of polyunsaturated fat, including 2.5g of alpha-linolenic acid, the plant-based omega-3.

Bajaj Finance Personal Loan Offers Tenures From 12 to 108 Months: What Borrowers Should Consider

The Bajaj Finance Personal Loan offers repayment tenures ranging from 12 to 108 months for loan amounts between Rs. 40,000 and Rs. 55 lakh. The applicable interest rate ranges from 10% to 30.5% per annum.

 

Bajaj Finance Personal Loan

 

The selected tenure can affect the monthly EMI and total interest payable. Borrowers can use a personal loan EMI calculator to compare repayment periods before deciding on a loan structure.

 

How does personal loan tenure affect monthly EMI?

Loan tenure determines the period over which the borrowed amount is repaid. A longer tenure spreads the repayment across more months, which can reduce the monthly EMI.

 

However, a longer repayment period can increase the total interest payable because interest may be charged over a greater number of months. A shorter tenure can result in a higher monthly EMI but may reduce the overall interest cost.

 

Borrowers should therefore assess both the monthly EMI and total repayment rather than considering the EMI alone.

 

What is the available repayment tenure?

The Bajaj Finance Personal Loan provides repayment tenures from 12 months to 108 months. The available period gives borrowers different options for structuring repayments based on the loan amount and applicable terms.

 

The selected tenure should be considered alongside the applicable interest rate and loan amount. These factors work together to determine the monthly repayment and overall borrowing cost.

 

Borrowers with higher existing financial commitments may need to assess whether the monthly EMI can be maintained throughout the selected tenure.

 

How does loan amount affect the choice of tenure?

The loan amount also influences the repayment obligation. Bajaj Finance Personal Loan amounts range from Rs. 40,000 to Rs. 55 lakh.

 

For the same interest rate, a higher loan amount generally results in a higher EMI. Selecting a longer tenure can spread this repayment across more months, although it may increase the total interest payable.

 

Borrowers should first assess the amount required and then compare different tenure options. Borrowing more than the required amount can increase the overall repayment commitment.

 

How can a personal loan EMI calculator help?

A personal loan EMI calculator can provide an estimated monthly instalment based on the loan amount, interest rate, and tenure entered.

 

Borrowers can change the tenure while keeping the loan amount and interest rate unchanged. This can show how a shorter or longer repayment period may affect the estimated EMI.

 

The calculator can also help compare the estimated total repayment across different scenarios. The result is an estimate and does not represent the final loan obligation.

 

What should borrowers consider before selecting a tenure?

Tenure should be assessed against the borrower’s repayment capacity and overall borrowing cost. A lower EMI may provide more room in the monthly budget, but a longer tenure can increase the total interest payable.

 

Borrowers should consider:

  • Monthly income and existing financial commitments

  • Required loan amount

  • Applicable interest rate

  • Estimated monthly EMI

  • Total repayment over the selected tenure

  • Applicable charges

  • Part-prepayment terms

  • Loan terms stated in the offer and related documents

 

The personal loan interest rate for Bajaj Finance Personal Loan ranges from 10% to 30.5% per annum. The final rate offered to an applicant remains subject to the lender’s assessment, eligibility and applicable terms.

 

What are the eligibility requirements?

The eligibility criteria for a Bajaj Finance Personal Loan include the following:

Nationality

Indian

Age

21 years to 80 years*.

Employed with

Public, private, or MNC.

CIBIL Score

650 or higher.

Customer profile

Self-employed or Salaried

 

*Customer should be 80 years or younger, at the end of the loan tenure.

 

Meeting these criteria does not guarantee approval. The final loan offer remains subject to eligibility assessment, document verification and applicable terms.

 

How can customers apply for the personal loan?

Customers can begin the application process online through the Bajaj Finance website. The process generally includes the following steps:

  1. Check loan eligibility – Customers can visit the personal loan page on the Bajaj Finance website, enter the loan amount needed, select the repayment period, and click on “CHECK LOAN OFFER” to check loan eligibility.

  2. Enter personal details – Customers need to provide personal, financial, and employment details to receive a personalised loan offer.

  3. Review loan offer – Customers can check their offer details and adjust the loan amount or repayment tenure, if required.

  4. Complete KYC verification – The loan applicant can verify their identity and bank details to proceed with their application.

  5. Speak to a loan specialist – Once the loan application is submitted, an executive will contact the applicant with the next steps.

The application remains subject to eligibility and successful verification. The stated disbursal timeline is within 24 hours*, subject to successful document verification and applicable terms. The timeline should not be treated as a guaranteed disbursal period.

 

Bajaj Finance Personal Loan tenure can affect overall repayment

The Bajaj Finance Personal Loan offers repayment tenures from 12 to 108 months. The selected period can affect both the monthly EMI and the total interest payable.

 

A longer tenure may reduce the monthly repayment but can increase the overall interest cost. A shorter tenure may increase the EMI while potentially reducing the total interest payable.

 

Borrowers should compare the loan amount, applicable interest rate, tenure, EMI and total repayment before accepting a loan offer. The personal loan EMI calculator can support this comparison by providing estimated repayment figures.

 

*Terms and conditions apply.

 

*Disbursal within 24 hours is subject to successful document verification and applicable terms.
