Why Honasa (Mamaearth) Share Price Is Rallying on December 30

The rally in Honasa Consumer shares is primarily linked to a promoter stake increase. Founder-promoter Varun Alagh informed the exchanges that he had acquired additional equity in the company on December 29, 2025.

Mr. Alagh purchased 18,51,851 equity shares, representing 0.57% of the company’s total share capital, through a block deal mechanism at ₹270 per share. The transaction amounted to approximately ₹49.99 crore.

Following this acquisition, Mr. Alagh’s shareholding has risen to 10,55,82,701 equity shares, translating into 32.45% of the total share capital. Consequently, the combined holding of the promoter and promoter group has increased to 11,56,48,401 equity shares, or 35.54% of the company’s total equity.

Fireside Ventures Reduces Stake

The shares were acquired from Fireside Ventures, a Bengaluru-based venture capital firm. 

Fireside Ventures, which earlier held a 1.93% stake (62.90 lakh shares) in Honasa through its Investment Fund I, has reduced its holding to 1.36% (44.38 lakh shares) following the sale.

Honasa Consumer Expands into Men’s Personal Care Category

Separately, Honasa Consumer has recently announced its entry into the men’s personal care segment through the acquisition of BTM Ventures Pvt Ltd, the parent company of Reginald Men.

Founded in August 2022 by Trisha Reddy Talasani, Reginald Men is a premium men’s personal care brand offering a focused portfolio, particularly in categories such as sunscreen and serum, which align with Honasa’s strategic priorities. Over the last twelve months (November 2024 to October 2025), the brand has generated ₹70+ crore in topline revenue with an EBITDA margin of nearly 25%.

Under the transaction terms, Honasa will acquire a 95% stake through a secondary purchase at an enterprise value of ₹195 crore, subject to closing adjustments. The remaining 5% stake will be acquired after 12 months based on pre-agreed valuation criteria.

Reginald Men has achieved notable organic traction in a short span, driven by a strong product narrative and clean, minimal packaging that resonates with modern male consumers. Its Helios Moisturizing Sunscreen has emerged as the most searched sunscreen for men on Google in India, highlighting growing brand visibility and consumer interest.
