Italian cosmetics brand Kiko Milano has expanded its retail presence in the Indian market by opening its first store in the eastern state of West Bengal.
 

The brand opened its first retail store at Shoppers Stop at South City Mall in Kolkata. The store will house makeup products like lipsticks, blush-on, foundations, eyeliners, eyeshadows along with a wide range of skincare products, and accessories.
 
Kiko Milano is looking to further strengthen its retail presence in metro cities across India with Shoppers Stop and will be opening shop-in-shop in other parts of the country in the coming months. The next store is expected to open in Mumbai.

Abhishek Bhattacharya, country director at Kiko Milano India in a statement said: “Marking our retail presence in Kolkata with this launch is a moment of double happiness for us as we open doors to a rather flourishing retail format of shop-in-shop. We are delighted to be part of Shoppers Stop in Kolkata and are also looking forward to our association with them in Mumbai very soon. We are certain that it will be mutually fruitful for both of us.”
 
Kiko has more than 1,000 stores in over 20 countries and has an online presence in 36 nations offering over 1,400 products.
 
The company is looking to further expand its presence in the Indian cosmetic market and plans to add another 45 stores by 2020 across the country.
