History
History & Background
Envisioning the global demand for trained beauty professionals, Orane International was incorporated in 2009. The visionary founders of Orane travelled to various countries to study global trends such as demographic profiling & market demand in the beauty & wellness domain. The decision to focus on India as the first location was strategic, given the country’s significant shortage of skilled labour and lack of formal skill education.
With a booming economy and large youth population, India proved ideal for Orane International’s inaugural centre in 2009, quickly expanding to 3 centres that same year.
