D2C grooming and personal care brand Bombay Shaving Company’s parent entity Visage Lines Personal Care claimed adjusted EBITDA profitability in FY26 as it sharply narrowed its loss while more than doubling its revenue during the fiscal. 

Visage Lines, which operates Bombay Shaving Company, women grooming and personal care brand Bombae, and B2B digital marketing brand 100Days.co, reported a consolidated net loss of ₹9 Cr in the year ended March 2026, down 97.4% from ₹58.2 Cr in FY25, according to its regulatory filings. 

Operating revenue jumped 139% to ₹634.7 Cr in FY26 from ₹265.6 Cr in the previous fiscal. The startup attributed this growth to the expansion of its omnichannel presence across D2C, ecommerce, quick commerce and offline retail channels, along with improved operational efficiencies. 

During the year, it also expanded its product portfolio across trimmers, shaving, fragrances and personal care. Its women’s grooming brand Bombae also entered the hair styling segment.

Visage Lines, in a statement, said it recorded an adjusted EBITDA profit of  ₹2.2 Cr during the year under review as against an adjusted EBITDA loss of ₹38.3 Cr in FY25. 

Going ahead, the startup is aiming to close FY27 with a total revenue of ₹1,000 Cr and focus on posting a profit before tax and delivering high single digit adjusted EBITDA as a financial priority.

Founded by Shantanu Deshpande in 2015, Bombay Shaving Company started out as a D2C men’s grooming brand. Over the years, it expanded its portfolio beyond shaving products into categories such as fragrances, skincare, and personal care, while also launching Bombae and 100Days.co.

The startup sells its products through its own website, ecommerce marketplaces, quick commerce platforms, and offline retail channels. 

In 2025, the D2C brand raised ₹136 Cr in a funding round led by existing investor Sixth Sense Ventures to expand its omnichannel presence and gear up for a potential IPO. In the same year, it also onboarded former Eternal business finance head Ashu Dhingra as the CFO.

Overall, Bombay Shaving Company has raised a total funding of about $65.1 Mn from the likes of Alteria Capital, Malabar Investment Advisors, Patni Wealth Advisors, among others.
