"Users of MedplusBeauty.com will have access to over 12,000 beauty and personal care products from a wide range of brands at the click of a button," commented Surendra Mantena, COO of MedplusBeauty.com, on the launch of the portal.

"The domestic market for cosmetic and personal care products is pegged at Rs 5,000 crore, of which skincare alone accounts for Rs 2,800 crore, which is largely traditional and fragmented," said Madhukar Gangadi, founder and CEO of MedPlus.
