CavinKare is an Indian manufacturing company in the fast-moving consumer goods sector, with a portfolio that includes 13 brands and two salon chains. It began in 1983 as CHIK India Private Limited, launching CHIK Shampoo in sachets to reach consumers across economic backgrounds. The company is guided by founder and chairman C. K. Ranganathan, who has sought to make essential products available to people from all economic backgrounds, and it emphasizes innovation across research, development, manufacturing, and marketing. An example of its ongoing product development is a recent initiative at the R&D center in Poonamallee, Chennai, where a blend of Kojic acid, milk extracts, and honey was developed to help regulate pigment appearance, exfoliate dull skin, and restore radiance. In 2026, reports indicate CavinKare expanded into India's ice cream market, signaling diversification into broader dairy-based offerings.
