With deep insight into the beauty industry and a passion for innovation, Ravi Mittal has

been instrumental in transforming India’s professional make-up landscape. In 2006, he

partnered with Rienk Koopman, founder of Special Cosmetics BV, to bring the globally

renowned brand Make-Up Studio to India.

However, his vision and practical sensibility made him realize early on that providing even

world-class products alone wasn’t enough. True success required creating an ecosystem –

one that educated, supported, and empowered professionals at every level. In 2009, this

vision led to the creation of the Make-Up Studio Training Center, offering structured

education to both aspiring and established artists.

To further professionalize the industry, he introduced a 360-degree approach: high quality

makeup products, hands-on product demonstrations, trend forecasting, look & learn

seminars, and regular workshops. This holistic model brought structure to a largely

unorganized sector and became the cornerstone of Ekta Cosmetic success.

Today, the Make-Up Studio Training Center stands as one of India’s most trusted academies,

built on a strong foundation of education, innovation, and consistent engagement with the

beauty community.

He continued dedication empowers a new generation of make-up artists—not just with high

quality products, but with the skills and confidence to use them professionally.
