  11. Indeed the answer is Lakmé.

    It is an Indian brand of cosmetics, owned by Unilever.

    Lakme started as a 100% subsidiary of Tata Oil Mills (Tomco), part of theTata Group, it was named after the French opera Lakmé, which itself is the French form of Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth.

    Indian cosmet Lakme was started in 1952, famously because the then Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru was concerned that Indian women were spending precious foreign exchange on beauty products, and personally requested JRD Tata to manufacture them in India.

    Simone Tata joined the company as director, and went on to become its chairman. In 1998, Tata sold off their stakes in Lakmé Lever to HLL, for Rs 200 Crore and went on to create Trent.

    Congratulations to all those who got it right.
