The NBA has partnered with Zorain Khaleeli, an internationally trained makeup artist and trainer from Bengaluru, for makeup training, and T&T Institute for nails, brows & lash training. It also has an association with the Beauty & Wellness Sector Skill Council (B&WSSC) and the National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC), New Delhi, to provide government-recognised certifications for students.

Our training programs are open for both newcomers, who are interested in starting a career in beauty, hair, or makeup, as well as experienced professionals wanting to enhance their skills.”
Mr. C.K. Kumaravel, CEO, said, “The beauty industry is poised for remarkable growth, akin to the IT industry. And there is an increasing demand for quality training.

Commenting on NBA’s franchise opportunities, Dr. Chackochen Mathai, COO, said, “We have started appointing franchisees in many locations in Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, and various North Indian states. We envision a network of 200 franchise centers by 2029, with an ambitious target of 100 centers in South India and North India each. Franchising Naturals Beauty Academy can be a lucrative opportunity for individuals with a passion for beauty education and strong business acumen. With an investment of 25-30 lakhs, they can establish their own academy. We will provide support in space design and project execution; extend assistance in sourcing trainers and training them at our facility in Chennai, guided by top-notch instructors.”
It is to be noted that NBA is opening its state-of-the-art training centre at Alappuzha, Kerala on June 17, 2023.
