Palmonas, the Shraddha Kapoor-backed demi-fine jewellery startup, has raised $40 million (approx. Rs. 373 crore) in a Series B funding round, led by Xponentia Capital and Vertex Growth Fund, with participation from existing investor Vertex Venture
The fresh capital will be utilised to expand its offline retail footprint, building on its growing omnichannel presence across online platforms and physical stores.

The brand targets the space between fashion and fine jewellery, catering to a young, aspirational audience.
The company has seen rapid growth, with its operating revenue surging over 40X to Rs. 39 crore in FY25, up from Rs. 97 lakh in FY24. Notably, Palmonas also turned profitable, reporting a profit of Rs. 4.3 crore during the same period.

Operating in a competitive space, Palmonas goes head-to-head with players such as GIVA, BlueStone, and Limelight Lab Grown Diamonds, as it continues to strengthen its position in India’s fast-growing demi-fine jewellery market.
