4-6 LPA , based on experience · On-site · Full-time . KINFRA, Calicut, Kerala # About Company Founded by a team of passionate IIM Lucknow alumni, Natura X is on a mission to prove that clear, healthy skin isnt a luxury—it’s a fundamental right.

Currently operating out of Calicut and Coimbatore, we are actively executing an aggressive regional expansion strategy into Bangalore, Tamil Nadu, and Karnataka.

Natura X is purpose-built for the 100+ million individuals in India and the Middle East living with chronic skin conditions like psoriasis, eczema, and complex dermatitis. While conventional treatments often focus solely on temporary symptom relief, we treat the whole person. Our breakthrough products sit at the exact intersection of nature’s intelligence—rooted in Kerala’s rich botanical heritage—and advanced, modern dermatological science.
