How We Helped a Beauty Brand Achieve ₹2 Crore Sales in 6 Months

Executive Summary

When a premium Ayurvedic skincare brand approached SW Cybernetics, they were generating just ₹18 lakhs monthly on Amazon India with declining sales and a 45% ACOS on advertising. Within 6 months, we transformed their performance to ₹2.1 crore monthly revenue, achieving 340% growth with a sustainable 18% ACOS.
