Nykaa partners with OpenAI to integrate shopping experiences on ChatGPT

Business To Business, New Delhi, 16th June, 2026:   Nykaa on Tuesday announced a strategic collaboration with OpenAI to introduce AI-powered shopping experiences and make its beauty and fashion catalogues directly accessible through ChatGPT.
Under the multi-year agreement:

  • Nykaa Beauty and Nykaa Fashion will be integrated as connected apps within ChatGPT.
  • Users will be able to ask conversational questions about products such as skincare, makeup, fragrances, apparel, and accessories.
  • ChatGPT can help users discover relevant products, with Nykaa serving as the destination for browsing and purchasing.
For example, users could ask for:
  • Skincare recommendations for specific skin concerns.
  • Outfit suggestions for occasions or styles.
  • Fragrance recommendations based on preferences.
  • Beauty products within a particular budget.
Enterprise use of AI
The collaboration also extends beyond customer-facing features.
Nykaa said it plans to deploy OpenAI technologies across internal operations, including:
  • ChatGPT Enterprise
  • Codex (AI coding and software development tools)
These technologies will be used across departments such as:
  • Marketing
  • Supply chain management
  • Legal operations
  • Engineering and product development
The objective is to improve productivity, automate routine tasks, and accelerate the rollout of new features and services.
The partnership reflects a broader trend in which retailers are increasingly adopting generative AI to improve customer experiences and streamline business operations.
For India's rapidly growing beauty and fashion e-commerce market, AI-powered shopping assistants can help customers navigate large product catalogues more efficiently through natural-language conversations rather than traditional keyword searches.
The collaboration is notable because it combines:
  • A leading Indian beauty and lifestyle platform, Nykaa
  • Advanced AI capabilities from OpenAI
As AI becomes more deeply integrated into commerce, partnerships of this kind could reshape how consumers discover products, receive recommendations, and interact with online retailers.
