• For the first time ever, Customer Choice Awards and Jury Honours will be recognised separately – celebrating the products consumers swear by alongside expert-approved standouts

• Bigger than ever: NBIB grows from 42 categories at launch to 60 categories in its third edition, reflecting the scale of India’s beauty obsession – voting is now live until June 2026
   

Every beauty lover has that one product they can’t stop recommending. The foundation that never fails, the moisturiser that saves their skin, the lipstick they’ve bought in every shade. The Nykaa Best in Beauty Awards are back for its third edition, giving beauty enthusiasts across India the chance to champion exactly those favourites. What started as a celebration of consumer-loved beauty has quickly grown into one of the most influential moments in India’s beauty calendar. Across its first two editions alone, the awards have seen over 2.6 lakhs votes, proving just how powerful the voice of the beauty consumer truly is.
 

Nykaa Best in Beauty Awards 2026
 

At its heart, the awards are built on a simple idea that has long defined Nykaa: that the people who use beauty every day should help decide what the best of it really looks like. Once again, Nykaa is putting the power of choice directly in the hands of consumers, celebrating the brands that have earned their trust and admiration. From global icons to homegrown innovators, the awards spotlight the products that have not only delivered exceptional results but also secured pride of place on vanities across the country. The Nykaa Best in Beauty Awards are not just about recognising success. They are a tribute to the consumers whose choices continue to shape India’s fast-evolving beauty landscape.
 

For over a decade, Nykaa has played a defining role in transforming how India discovers and experiences beauty, empowering consumers through authentic experiences, expert-led education, and immersive content. The Nykaa Best in Beauty Awards extend that legacy by creating a platform where the community can champion the brands they love most. This year marks an exciting evolution for the awards. For the first time, the honours will be presented across two distinct recognitions: Consumer Choice Awards, determined entirely by public votes, and Jury Honours, selected by an esteemed panel of industry experts and beauty professionals. The awards have also grown significantly in scale. What began with 42 categories in its inaugural edition has now expanded to 60 categories, reflecting the remarkable growth and diversity of India’s beauty industry today.

Commenting on the announcement, Anchit Nayar, Executive Director and CEO, Nykaa Beauty, said, “The Nykaa Best in Beauty Awards have become one of the most loved and influential initiatives in India’s beauty calendar. From the very beginning, Nykaa has pioneered industry-first programs that put consumers at the heart of everything we do, and these awards are a perfect example.
 

The first two editions of NBIB were a huge success, driven by the overwhelming support and engagement of our community. What began as a way for consumers to celebrate the products they love has now evolved into a landmark platform that recognises favourites, breakthrough products, and the global and homegrown brands setting new benchmarks in India’s beauty landscape.
 

With the introduction of distinct Consumer Choice Awards and Jury Honours this year, we are recognising both the voice of millions of consumers and the perspective of industry experts. These awards go beyond recognition – they reflect the rituals, preferences, and passions that define how India experiences beauty. We’re thrilled to see this next chapter unfold as the community continues to champion the products they truly love.”
 

What’s New at NBIB 2026

Reflecting the continued growth and diversification of India’s beauty landscape, the third edition of the Nykaa Best in Beauty Awards expands to 60 categories across Skincare, Makeup, Haircare, Fragrances, and Bath & Body.
 

Among the highlights this year is the introduction of Most Loved Gifting Brand, a category that celebrates the brand consumers most often turn to when choosing beauty as a thoughtful gift. The awards also continue to spotlight the trends defining modern beauty culture through returning categories such as Viral Products and Viral New Korean Beauty, which recognise products that have captured widespread consumer attention and reflect the growing influence of K-beauty in India. Meanwhile, the Impact Award honours brands making meaningful strides toward sustainability and responsible practices, recognising the increasing importance of conscious beauty among today’s consumers.
 

Enhancing the experience for voters, NBIB 2026 will also introduce a discover-to-purchase feature, allowing consumers to seamlessly explore and shop nominated products while casting their votes. By bringing discovery, participation, and shopping together in a single journey, the awards continue to evolve into a dynamic platform that celebrates not only the best in beauty, but also the consumers and trends shaping the future of the industry.
 

Beauty’s Sharpest Eyes: Meet the NBIB 2026 Jury

The Nykaa Best in Beauty Awards 2026 bring together an influential jury that represents the many voices shaping beauty today from industry experts and creators to editors and cultural tastemakers. Each member of the panel brings a distinct perspective on what defines true excellence in beauty, ensuring that the Jury Honours recognise products that stand out not only for performance, but also for innovation, cultural relevance, and impact.

VinFast has set a record by completing 3,520 electric vehicle orders on March 28, 2026. This milestone demonstrates the company’s operational capability while also reflecting strong consumer demand and signaling that Vietnam’s transition to green mobility is entering a new phase.

VinFast has created a stir in its home market after announcing that it completed 3,520 electric vehicle orders in a single day on March 28, marking a new record for daily order processing in Vietnam

Once again, VinFast has created a stir in its home market after announcing that it completed 3,520 electric vehicle orders in a single day on March 28, marking a new record for daily order processing in Vietnam. This figure is equivalent to the monthly sales of some automakers in the country and translates to an average of 146 orders per hour, or approximately 2.4 orders per minute.

According to the company, these vehicles have been fully processed and are ready to leave the factory. They will then be transported to dealerships before being delivered to customers.

Across online forums and user communities, many expressed surprise at the company’s speed. “Completing more than 3,500 orders in a single day, especially on a weekend, shows the very strong capabilities of VinFast’s production and business teams,” an online user, Pham Van Minh, shared.

Another user, Hong Lan, said the record reflects significant demand for switching to electric vehicles. With fuel prices fluctuating daily, she noted that it is understandable that many gasoline vehicle users are considering switching. “Electric vehicles are cleaner, environmentally friendly, and free from dependence on fuel prices, so the growing shift toward them is an inevitable trend,” she said.

Record after record

Observers believe that with its current advantages, VinFast is highly likely to set other sales records in 2026. Over the past two years, the company has consistently recorded strong sales milestones in the Vietnamese market.

Since 2024, VinFast has maintained the number one position in Vietnam’s automotive market. In 2025, the company delivered 175,099 vehicles. In December of 2025 alone, VinFast sold 27,649 vehicles, setting a record for monthly sales by a single automaker. Notably, this figure equals the annual sales volume that some brands take a full year to achieve.

Experts say the company’s continued achievements are the result of a long-term investment strategy in a comprehensive green ecosystem. Currently, 150,000 charging ports developed and operated by V-Green, VinFast’s global charging infrastructure partner, have been planned across Vietnam’s 34 provinces and cities. The company is also preparing to deploy 99 ultra fast charging hubs equipped with 150 kW chargers along major national and provincial highways, further strengthening its charging network advantage. At the same time, a network of more than 400 service workshops ensures a seamless and well-supported ownership experience for customers.

According to Dr. Lee Hoang Nam, a transportation planning expert, VinFast’s continued record-breaking performance is expected, alongside its proven product quality, as more Vietnamese consumers prioritize electric vehicles as their primary choice.

“When the entire ecosystem, from products to charging infrastructure and service workshops, is systematically developed as VinFast is doing, consumers will feel more confident about making the switch to electric vehicles. The green transition not only benefits individual households and users, but also helps accelerate transport electrification, reduce emissions, and importantly lessen dependence on fossil fuels such as gasoline and diesel,” the expert explained.

In wake of the recent outrage surrounding the painting of an elephant named Chanchal in Jaipur for a photoshoot made by Julia Buruleva, World Animal Protection has taken a grim view of the entire sequence of events that has led to this most unfortunate display of animal cruelty in the UNESCO World Heritage City of Jaipur in Rajasthan. This incident, yet again highlights the rampant abuse of captive elephants in Jaipur in Amer Fort and Haathi Gaon to cater to tourist whims and fancies. There is no excuse to paint an elephant for a photoshoot because this denigrates the natural state of the animal. The incident also shows glaring loopholes in administrative abilities in caring for the captive elephants in Jaipur that are already under extreme stress and pain due to their totally unnatural incarceration and daily abuse due to rides and continual interaction with tourists, including foreign tourists like the one who has caused the cruelty that has justifiably enraged people from all walks of people who care for India’s National Heritage Animal.

Painted elephant in Amer Fort in Jaipur Photo credit Julia Buruleva/ Brut India

Although it appears that the shoot took place late last year in December, 2025, it bears questioning how this photo shoot was approved by the Rajasthan Forest Department for a Schedule I animal that is accorded the highest level of protection under India’s Wildlife Protection Act. This incident really brings to light the inadequacies in implementation of both moral and legal principles when it comes to protecting captive elephants in India. There is the cardinal issue of the stocking of captive elephant populations by dubious means and recently the arrest of an elephant trafficker in Jaipur who was attempting to smuggle an elephant from Assam clearly shows that the trade in live elephants is alive and well. The latest amendment to the Wildlife Protection Act with regard to transactions in captive elephants also leaves the law open to misuse. “It is of cardinal importance that the Ministry Of Environment and Forests, Project Elephant and the Rajasthan Forest Department regulate the nature of all tourist activities with captive elephants in Jaipur, including foreign tourists, to ensure that abusive activities toward captive elephants do not take place,” says Gajender Kumar Sharma, Country Director of World Animal Protection in India.

Earlier this month, the Rajasthan government has informed the Rajasthan High Court that it was taking steps to ensure the welfare of captive elephants at Amer Fort. “Apart from interim welfare steps, it is necessary to take concrete steps, long overdue, to initiate the process of phasing out elephant rides in Amer Fort altogether, and retire the remaining elephants in a sanctuary,” says Gajender Kumar Sharma, Country Director, World Animal Protection in India.

World Animal Protection in India is raising awareness among tour companies to not offer elephant rides in places like Jaipur. The latest companies that have taken the wildlife friendly pledge of World Animal Protection to not promote elephant rides and wild animals in entertainment include UnBound Expeditions, Going Wild Tours, Hetalbon Resort, Wild Paw Adventures and NorthEast Travels. These companies can encourage tourists not to undertake activities like Julia Buruleva has done to exploit captive animals.

It has been reported that the elephant who was coloured, named Chanchal, died in February, 2026. In the wake of this incident, there is every reason to reascertain the cause of her death.

World Animal Protection has also noted the capture of four allegedly wolf dog hybrid puppies in Kadbanwadi area of Indapur tehsil in Pune district. World Animal Protection strongly emphasises that these animals should be treated humanely regardless of their genetic makeup. There is very sophisticated scientific evidence with World Animal Protection that establishes the importance of scientific and respectful treatment of hybrid animals and it is emphasised that the Maharashtra Forest Department apply the precautionary principle and ensure humane treatment of these puppies.

World Animal Protection also advocates a cautionary approach to the Neelgai domestication project that has been reported in the media in Bihar Agricultural University (BAU)’s Veer Kunwar Singh College of Agriculture. The captive animals that are part of this initiative should be treated humanely and this project should not lead to commercialisation of wild animals for short term profits.

Today is Mahavir Jayanti. On this occasion, the message of ahimsa(non violence) as the ultimate virtue needs to be restated with respect to our relationship with all animals under the current circumstances.

Wild animals are not entertainment. Wild animals are not meant for captivity displays where they need to be coloured as props to fulfil vanity wishes. Elephants live in the wild, where they socialise with their kin and form family bonds like humans. Elephants belong in the wild. There is no pride in colouring or riding an elephant. Wildlife belongs in the wild.

Aspiring medical students now have access to a truly international route to becoming doctors through the Thumbay International Pathway Program, a structured academic journey that combines world-class education in the UAE with global clinical exposure across leading universities worldwide.

Study in Dubai. Practice worldwide. Become the doctor the world needs

The program offers students the opportunity to complete the first three years of their medical education at Gulf Medical University in the UAE, followed by three years of advanced clinical training at a partner university of their choice across Europe and other international destinations. This dual-phase model allows students to build a strong academic foundation in Dubai before transitioning into immersive clinical environments aligned with their career goals.

According to the program outline, students can pursue the Doctor of Medicine pathway across multiple global destinations including Poland, Italy, Malaysia, the United Kingdom, the Americas, Romania, Uzbekistan, Ghana, and other recognized medical education hubs. This flexibility gives students the freedom to select the country and clinical exposure that best fits their aspirations, licensing plans, and long-term practice location.

One of the most compelling aspects of the pathway is its affordability. With international pathway fees starting from approximately Rs. 15–16 lakhs per year, the program opens doors for students who seek a global medical qualification without the overwhelming financial burden typically associated with overseas education. The structured fee model, combined with the safety and academic quality of studying in the UAE, makes this a highly attractive option for families looking for both value and credibility.

Beyond academics, the initiative reflects the long-standing vision of the Founder, Dr. Thumbay Moideen, who has consistently championed the idea that quality medical education should not be restricted by geography or financial barriers. His mission has been to create pathways that make healthcare education accessible, inclusive, and globally relevant, ultimately contributing to the larger goal of improving healthcare access for communities around the world.

Students enrolling in the pathway benefit from a multicultural learning environment, advanced simulation facilities, early clinical exposure, and mentorship within an academic health system that integrates education, research, and patient care. The transition to international clinical training further enhances their adaptability, global competence, and readiness for medical licensing across different regions.

Admissions for the upcoming intake are now open, inviting students to take the first step toward an international medical career through a program that blends affordability, flexibility, and global recognition.
