Indriya eyes Top-3 spot; Announces rapid expansion to 75 stores
– Indriya, the rapidly ascending jewelry venture of the Aditya Birla Group, announced a strategic roadmap to capture a top-three position in India’s organized jewelry segment. On the heels of reaching a 50-store milestone in under two years, the brand has set its sights on expanding its retail footprint to 75 stores in the near term.
Driven by Chairman Kumar Mangalam Birla’s vision to transition the conglomerate into a consumer-facing powerhouse, Indriya is capitalizing on the massive shift from unorganized to organized retail in the Indian jewelry market.
Strategic Growth & Market Presence
Indriya currently operates 49 stores across 30 cities. The brand’s “cluster-based” expansion strategy has successfully established deep roots in Northern and Western India, with aggressive recent moves into the Southern and Eastern regions.

“Our pace reflects our ambition,” said Amit Dharap, Head of Retail, Indriya. “We are moving from 50 to 75 stores by deepening our presence in key clusters like Delhi-NCR and expanding further into high-potential markets like Andhra Pradesh.”
To differentiate itself in a crowded landscape, Indriya is doubling down on two core pillars:
- Large-Format Experiential Retail: Stores typically range from 4,000 to 5,000 sq. ft., with flagship locations in metros scaling up to 12,000 sq. ft. to provide an immersive shopping environment.
- Design-First Philosophy: The brand boasts a portfolio of 28,000 unique in-house designs, spanning gold, diamond, polki, and gemstones, tailored to both daily wear and the high-value wedding segment.
\Indriya utilizes a Franchise-Owned, Company-Operated (FOCO) model. This allows the brand to remain asset-light while leveraging the deep-rooted community relationships of local partners. This “local insight meets corporate trust” approach has been pivotal in successfully penetrating Tier II and III cities.
As gold prices fluctuate, the brand is also staying agile, exploring 14-carat and 18-carat options to ensure value-driven offerings without compromising on the premium aesthetic that has become the brand’s hallmark.
