WellHired's take

Pilgrim has built one of the more credible clean-beauty brands in India by staying disciplined on ingredient sourcing and formulation rather than just marketing spend, and its funding trajectory (backed by Vertex Ventures and Fireside Ventures) reflects real confidence from experienced consumer-brand investors. As a fast-scaling D2C brand moving into omnichannel retail, expect a high-energy, brand-and-growth-oriented culture - a good fit if you're drawn to consumer product/brand work in a category with genuine category leadership, though the pace and ambiguity of a scaling D2C business may not suit everyone.

About Pilgrim

Pilgrim (operated by Heavenly Secrets Private Limited) is a direct-to-consumer beauty and personal care brand founded in 2019 by IIT Bombay alumni Anurag Kedia and Gagandeep Makker, headquartered in Mumbai. The brand formulates clean, vegan, toxin-free skincare, haircare, makeup, and fragrance products using ingredients sourced from around the world - France, Korea, Spain, Australia, the Amazon, and Swiss glaciers - priced for Indian consumers. Pilgrim has scaled to 90+ SKUs available across 25,000+ pin codes and is expanding into offline retail alongside its digital-first D2C business.

Offer borderless beauty experiences that are good for you and good for the planet, bringing world-class global beauty ingredients to Indian consumers at accessible prices.
