In a separate post on X, the minister said he "held a meeting with a delegation led by Vismay Sharma, President - South Asia Pacific, Middle East and North Africa Zone, at L'Oreal Groupe."

The minister said the discussions focused on "strengthening sourcing, manufacturing, and exports from India," highlighting the government's continued push to position India as a global manufacturing and export hub across sectors, including beauty and personal care.
