Godrej Professional, part of Godrej Consumer Products Limited (GCPL), has unveiled Godrej Professional Spotlight, an initiative to empower Indian hairstylists by providing a national platform to showcase their creativity. The program offers funding of up to ₹5 lakh to winners while fostering skill development in partnership with the Beauty & Wellness Sector Skill Council (B&WSSC).
The grand finale, set for December in Mumbai, will feature 30 shortlisted stylists presenting their looks in a spectacular hair show judged by renowned industry leaders, including celebrity stylist YianniTsapatori. The top three winners will receive funding of ₹5 lakh, ₹2.5 lakh, and ₹1.5 lakh, along with government-recognized certifications from B&WSSC.
In Guwahati, where the salon industry is witnessing rapid growth fueled by increasing demand for premium grooming services, initiatives like Spotlight are expected to elevate the skills of local stylists. “Such programs offer exposure to advanced techniques and national recognition, which is crucial for professionals in a competitive market like Guwahati,” said a salon owner.
