GIVA Raises ₹530 Cr in Series C Funding Round Led by Creaegis; Accelerates Expansion of Lab-Grown Diamond Jewellery and Retail Footprint
GIVA, one of India’s fastest-growing D2C fine jewellery brands, has raised ₹530 Cr in its latest funding round. Creaegis, a leading growth stage investment firm, led the round, with participation from existing investors Premji Invest, Epiq Capital, and Edelweiss Discovery Fund.
The capital will be used to scale GIVA’s retail and digital footprint, enhance tech-enabled supply chain capabilities, deepen its offerings in lab-grown diamond jewellery and expand into new categories.
Started in 2019 by Ishendra Agarwal and Nikita Prasad, GIVA began its journey with 925 sterling silver jewellery and has since diversified into 14K/18K gold and lab-grown diamond jewellery. The company has established itself as a clear market leader in the fine jewellery space in response to a growing demand for affordable luxury and sustainable alternatives.

Announcing the development, Ishendra Agarwal, Founder, GIVA, said, “Welcoming Creaegis as a lead investor in this round marks an important step in our growth journey. Their deep expertise in building digital-first, consumer-centric businesses makes them an ideal partner for GIVA as we scale our omni-channel presence and strengthen our capabilities across product, technology, and operations. With the continued support of our existing investors, we’re focused on elevating the fine jewellery experience for modern Indian consumers and accelerating our journey towards market leadership.”
Founded with the mission to make high-quality jewellery more accessible, GIVA has rapidly scaled with a product portfolio spanning silver, gold, and lab-grown diamond jewellery. With its in-house design excellence, commitment to authenticity, and a growing offline presence, GIVA is uniquely positioned at the intersection of aspiration, trust, and modern design.
Today, the brand retails through 240+ physical stores across India. Riding on this momentum, GIVA plans to open 145–150 additional stores this year, with a strong focus on Tier II cities, where it continues to witness robust demand.
This rapid growth is driven by a strong leadership team. In recognition of the instrumental role played in shaping the company’s journey, Aditya Labroo, Chief Operating Officer has now been elevated to the role of co-founder, further strengthening GIVA’s vision for the future.

Bhima Gold Unveils Ashtalakshmi Coin Collection for Akshaya Tritiya, Blending Devotion with Exquisite Design
A culturally rooted, insight-led launch that reimagines festive gold buying through storytelling, symbolism, and spiritual relevance.
In a move that blends cultural storytelling with product innovation, Bhima Gold has unveiled its Ashtalakshmi Coin Collection for Akshaya Tritiya – positioning gold not just as a purchase, but as a deeply symbolic expression of prosperity, faith, and intent.
Timed with one of India’s most significant gold-buying occasions, Akshaya Tritiya, the launch reflects a deeper cultural shift in consumer behaviour. While the festival continues to drive strong purchase intent, there is a growing preference for meaningful, purpose-led buying experiences over purely transactional consumption.
Aligned with this evolving mindset, the Ashtalakshmi coin collection has been thoughtfully conceptualised to blend tradition with deeper symbolism. Inspired by the eight sacred forms of Goddess Lakshmi, each coin represents a distinct dimension of prosperity—from wealth and nourishment to courage, knowledge, and continuity.

By bringing together Adi Lakshmi, Dhana Lakshmi, Dhanya Lakshmi, Gaja Lakshmi, Santana Lakshmi, Veera Lakshmi, Vijaya Lakshmi and Vidya Lakshmi, the collection reframes gold coins from being a generic festive purchase to a story-driven, culturally immersive product experience – one that resonates across generations and belief systems.
This launch also aligns with Bhima Gold’s larger centenary narrative of “Together Purever,” which focuses on legacy, shared traditions, and evolving consumer meaning. The collection becomes an extension of that philosophy – reinforcing how heritage brands are reinterpreting tradition for a more aware and emotionally driven consumer.
Customers can pre-book their favourite jewellery by paying just 10% in advance & get their jewellery on Akshaya Tritiya at the lowest rate, which gives customers more flexibility and helps them plan their purchases with greater confidence, especially at a time when gold prices are high.
Akshaya Tritiya has traditionally been associated with intention, belief, and the aspiration for prosperity, extending beyond a purely transactional act of buying gold. The Ashtalakshmi Coin Collection has been conceptualised to reflect this deeper cultural and spiritual significance, with each coin designed to carry a distinct meaning and sense of purpose. The initiative also aligns with evolving consumer preferences, where there is a noticeable shift towards jewellery that offers emotional, cultural, and spiritual resonance in addition to intrinsic value.
With gold prices near record highs and consumer sentiment becoming more considered, Bhima’s Ashtalakshmi Coin Collection signals a broader shift in the category — from price-led promotions to meaning-led engagement, where design, storytelling, and cultural relevance drive both differentiation and demand.
As legacy brands navigate a new era of conscious consumption, Bhima Gold’s latest offering highlights how tradition can be reimagined as experience, making gold buying not just an act of investment, but an expression of identity and belief.
