Goldiam International Ltd., a leading diamond jewellery exporter and a fast-growing player in the lab-grown diamond (LGD) segment, has raised Rs. 202 crore through a Qualified Institutional Placement (QIP).The fundraise, facilitated by Monarch Networth Capital, saw participation from marquee global and domestic investors including Morgan Stanley.

The capital infusion will drive the aggressive expansion of ORIGEM, Goldiam’s consumer-facing LGD jewellery brand, with plans to open 70 to 90 stores across India over the next 18 to 24 months.

ORIGEM has opened six stores in the past 10 months. Backed by a debt-free balance sheet, steady cash flow generation, and a track record of returning nearly Rs 200 crore to shareholders through dividends and buybacks in the last five years, Goldiam said it is positioned for sustainable growth.

On a consolidated basis, the company expects 15% to 20% growth in both sales and profitability this year, driven by its global B2B business and fast-scaling Indian B2C retail presence.

Anmol Bhansali, Director at Goldiam International Ltd., said, “This fundraise marks a defining moment in Goldiam’s journey. With the support of marquee investors, we are now well-positioned to accelerate ORIGEM’s expansion and bring lab-grown diamond jewellery to a much wider audience across India. Our vision is to make diamonds more sustainable, accessible, and aspirational, and this capital will help us build the country’s leading retail franchise in the lab-grown diamond category.”
