Sachin Parikh, CFO, Nykaa said “The only advice I can give to startups is to focus on sustainable growth. You know, I can spend a lot of money, acquire the customers, get a certain level of growth but if the customers are not coming back or the growth is not sustainable, you are not going to achieve the targets so make sure you get to sustainable growth.”
