In 2021, the personal care product company had acquired ScoopWhoop for Rs 100 crore.

The Good Glamm has recently laid off staff and deferred salaries of several employees. Besides, three board members also departed from the company in the recent months.
The beleaguered company has also explored sales of various brands, such as, The Moms Co., Organic Harvest, as well as, media websites such as Miss Malini, Bulbul, and PopXO.
