New Delhi [India], November 15: Mr. Jeetendra Kundlia, Founder & CEO of OJB Herbals Pvt. Ltd., popularly known through its flagship brand Oshea Herbals, was felicitated at the prestigious ABP Ananda GST Conclave held on 31st October 2025 at Taj Vivanta, Kolkata. The event brought together some of India’s leading voices in finance, FMCG, trade, and entrepreneurship to decode the growing impact of GST reforms on various sectors.
As an invited panelist at the conclave, Mr. Kundlia represented the beauty and personal care industry, sharing thoughtful perspectives on how the new revisions announced by the GST Council will influence the cosmetics segment, particularly pricing structures, consumer accessibility, raw material sourcing and tax transparency among others.
During the discussion, he highlighted the importance of a more streamlined tax environment for emerging Indian brands and emphasized how clarity in GST policies can help scale manufacturing, improve compliance, and encourage innovation in the personal care space. He emphasised on the need for one tax slab for cosmetics. Mr. Kundlia explained it with an example that the slab rate of soap & shampoo remains 5% but other products stand at 18%. Now, this is a dilemma for manufacturers and brands as the slab rates differ as well based on the nomenclature and the category it’s classified into.
