About L'Oréal Research & Innovation
L'Oreal is the world's largest cosmetics and beauty company, founded in Paris in 1909 by the chemist Eugene Schueller. With more than 4,000 researchers across 21 global R&D centres, it has built one of the most advanced research operations in consumer goods, running 36 brands across four divisions and selling in over 150 countries.
Through its Research and Innovation division and the Big Bang Beauty Tech Innovation Program, L'Oreal runs an open-innovation effort that links early startups to one of the world's most powerful FMCG distribution networks. The programme spans the South Asia Pacific, Middle East, and North Africa (SAPMENA) region, with a notable hub in Mumbai, and startups it accepts gain access to its consumer insights, R&D labs, brand teams, and routes to market. The Big Bang programme is an annual competition and acceleration track for startups working on AI-driven consumer experiences, sustainable packaging, new commerce models, content and media technology, and material science, with winners receiving mentoring, pilots with L'Oreal brands, and potential commercial contracts, while a broader L'Oreal Open Innovation framework scouts technologies in molecular modelling, AR and VR try-on, and sustainability. Startups that have taken part include Live2.ai, NeuralGarage, Infloso AI, Sravathi AI, and Without by Ashaya.
Early- and growth-stage startups building technology for beauty, personal care, sustainability, e-commerce, and consumer experience benefit most, especially founders in AI, AR/VR, material science, or sustainable packaging, who gain a rare chance to pilot with a company reaching over a billion consumers a year, and for Indian teams the Mumbai SAPMENA hub offers a direct path to scale.
