Company History
Founded 2020 in Jaipur, Rajasthan, India
Mohit Yadav and Rahul Yadav grew up in a family with deep roots in engineering and manufacturing in Rajasthan. Mohit graduated from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay in Mechanical Engineering in 2010, while his younger brother Rahul graduated with an engineering degree from the University of California, Berkeley. In 2016, the brothers founded Reeve Technology, an internet and e-commerce analytics venture that analyzed consumer purchasing habits across global beauty and wellness platforms. While analyzing skincare data in 2019, they observed a seismic global shift: consumers in North America and Europe were abandoning heritage cosmetic brands in favor of functional, active-ingredient brands like The Ordinary and Paula's Choice. In India, however, the skincare market was dominated by heritage giants pushing fairness creams or new-age D2C brands promoting 'toxin-free' ayurvedic buzzwords without clinical proof. The brothers realized that Indian consumers were becoming scientifically literate: they were researching chemical exfoliants, peptides, and ceramides on Reddit and YouTube, yet had to pay exorbitant import duties to buy Western dermacosmetics. In late 2020, investing their own capital and establishing an in-house laboratory in Jaipur, the Yadav brothers launched Be Minimalist with six basic active serums. The brand exploded virally without traditional celebrity endorsements, driven entirely by authentic skincare bloggers, dermatologists, and everyday consumers who witnessed clinical results in weeks.
Since its establishment in 2020, Minimalist expanded from an early-stage venture into a recognized leader in Beauty & Personal Care, Active Ingredient Skincare, Direct-to-Consumer (D2C), Cosmeceuticals & E-Commerce, overcoming key market challenges.
Over its history, Minimalist executed decisive strategic pivots toward scalable monetization and digital distribution, securing its current market leadership.
By continually modernizing operations and embracing workflow automation, Minimalist maintains resilience through changing technological and economic cycles.
