Agapi Sikkim

Agapi Sikkim is a women-led, luxury skincare brand focused on providing clean and transparent products, creating wealth for indigenous communities in the Indian state of Sikkim, and preserving Sikkimese traditions. The brand offers over fifty products, using locally sourced Sikkimese ingredients (i.e. mugwort, guras) while sustaining the region’s biodiversity and supporting conservation efforts. Agapi minimizes environmental impact with eco-friendly, biodegradable packaging, chemical-free and natural formulations, and local sourcing that reduces carbon footprint. Agapi has also trained 500+ women from five villages of Sikkim, creating job opportunities and generating income, especially among rural communities and indigenous tribes. The company is developing its foothold in both direct to consumer, business to business, and business to government markets. Agapi’s goals for the future consist of market expansion, product innovation, training 2,500 more women in skincare product development across 10 villages, and achieving 8x revenue growth.
