Premium professional haircare brand &Done has successfully raised $3 million (around  ₹26.9 crore) in a Series A funding round led by RTP Global, achieving a post-money  valuation of approximately ₹125 crore. This funding round also saw contributions from  All In Capital, Suashish, and notable angel investors, including Kitty Agarwal from Info  Edge Ventures, Kunal Bahl and Rohit Bansal, co-founders of Titan Capital, and Puneet  Kumar, CEO of Mirae Asset Venture India. 

The Gurugram-based startup had previously secured ₹6–6.5 crore in a pre-seed funding  round led by All In Capital and MG Investments in late 2025. With this new investment,  &Done aims to enhance its product offerings, strengthen partnerships with salons  across India, and ramp up brand-building efforts. 

Emphasis on Research, Team Growth, and Brand Awareness 

The company plans to allocate the new funds primarily towards accelerating research  and product development, expanding its internal team, growing its salon network, and  investing in marketing and brand awareness initiatives. A portion of the funding will also  be directed towards fostering collaborations with professional salons and stylists in key  markets. 

Co-founder Saumya Yadav highlighted that salons are pivotal to &Done’s growth  strategy. The brand aims to adopt a salon-first model while gradually expanding its retail  and direct-to-consumer (D2C) presence. The founders believe this strategy will help  maintain product credibility and facilitate consumer adoption. 

Tailored for Indian Hair and Climate 

Founded in 2023 by Saumya Yadav and Atit Jain, &Done is a science-driven professional  haircare brand specifically designed for Indian hair types and climatic conditions. The 

company creates biotech-powered formulations using globally sourced active  ingredients from laboratories in Japan, the UK, and the US, while manufacturing its  products in Hyderabad. 

The founders recognized a significant gap in the Indian salon ecosystem, where  imported haircare products are often tailored for Caucasian hair and temperate  climates, while many local brands fall short in performance and formulation quality.  &Done aims to fill this gap by developing high-performance products tested in real  Indian salon environments with professional stylists and consumers. 

Growing Salon Network and Retail Footprint 

Currently, &Done’s professional range is available in over 500 premium salons across  major markets, including Delhi NCR, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh, Telangana,  and Hyderabad. Within less than a year of its launch, the brand has established a robust  salon presence, offering four professional SKUs and two retail products. 

The company ventured into the D2C space about six months ago with a limited range  that includes shampoo, conditioner, and serum variants. These products are accessible  through its website, online marketplaces, and select offline channels. Several product  launches are planned for the upcoming year as &Done aims to expand its retail  offerings. 

To date, the brand claims to have served around 15,000 customers through its website  and an additional 35,000 customers via online marketplaces, alongside its growing  salon clientele. 

Market Potential and Competitive Landscape 

This funding round comes at a time of increasing investor interest in India’s D2C and  professional haircare sectors. According to industry reports, the Indian haircare market  is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of over 11% between  2025 and 2033, with the professional haircare segment expected to reach nearly $960  million by 2031. 

&Done faces competition from both global and domestic brands, including Olaplex,  Redken, Nexxus, Moxie, and other emerging premium haircare brands. However, the  company believes its India-first, salon-tested, science-led approach provides a unique  advantage in an increasingly competitive market. 

“Our aim is to redefine what ‘Made in India’ signifies in the realm of professional  haircare. Indian hair deserves its own dedicated laboratory,” co-founder Saumya Yadav  remarked.
