Entrepreneur Background
Himanshu Adlakha (Co-founder) holds an MBA in Marketing from IMT Ghaziabad. Growing up with a family electronics distribution business (LG, Luminous), he already had product and supply chain knowledge when Winston was founded. Nikita Malhotra Adlakha (Co-founder) is an alumna of Jesus and Mary College, Delhi. Nikita wanted to pursue entrepreneurship after finishing college. She started selling international products that were not available in India on Instagram. After one month of marriage, Nikita and Himanshu founded Winston combining Himanshu's expertise in electronics and Nikita's experience in D2C commerce. After the lockdown, the most demanding product on Nikita's Instagram page was a face trimmer. That's when they decided to build a brand in this product.
The Product / Service
Winston India is India's first beauty tech brand offering multi-category beauty appliances with the 3S philosophy: Smart, Strong, Super Easy. They provide salon-like results at home through high-quality technology-embedded personal care tools. Winston builds tech-forward personal care appliances for Indians who want professional grooming results at home without salon costs or time. The LED face mask their showcase product during the pitch, worn by both founders as they entered delivers dermatological-grade light therapy for skin health. Post-Shark Tank, Winston expanded aggressively into men's grooming with the Nut Groomer range (precision trimming), Groom 360 (6 magnetic snap-on heads, digital display, IPX7 waterproof), and Snipper beard trimmer building toward a complete grooming ecosystem rather than a women's-only beauty appliance brand.
