Jewelbox Strengthens South India Footprint with Flagship Store in Bangalore
Jewelbox, a pioneer in lab-grown diamond jewellery, has expanded its presence in South India with the opening of its flagship store in Jayanagar, Bangalore.
This expansion follows the brand’s successful entry into Chennai and is a key part of its retail growth strategy, which has seen rapid expansion with stores in Delhi, Gurgaon, Chennai, Kolkata, and Guwahati over the last six months.
Bangalore, contributing 15% of Jewelbox’s total online orders, is now a pivotal market for the brand. The new store is poised to cater to the rising demand for sustainable luxury jewellery, drawing on the city’s eco-conscious and affluent consumer base, as well as its status as a hub for young professionals.
“We’ve always seen Bangalore as a key market for growth,” said Vidita Kochar Jain, Co-Founder of Jewelbox. “With the Jayanagar store, we’re offering a personalized in-store experience for customers who appreciate sustainability, innovation, and exceptional craftsmanship.”
The Jayanagar store will showcase a curated collection of lab-grown diamond jewellery, featuring personalized consultations, exclusive designs, and expert styling advice aimed at consumers aged 25 to 50.
With the lab-grown diamond market in India set to reach USD 797.92 million by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 14.8%, Jewelbox is positioning itself to capitalize on this growing demand for sustainable jewellery. The brand plans to open three to four additional stores in Bangalore by the end of 2025, further strengthening its presence in the region.
This store launch is part of Jewelbox’s comprehensive omni-channel strategy, combining the convenience of online shopping with the immersive, hands-on retail experience at its Jayanagar outlet.

PNGS Reva Diamond Jewellery Limited Posts Record Q4 FY26, Nearly Doubles Core Diamond Business Year-on-Year
Revenue surges 139% YoY in Q4 FY26, Driven By Strong Diamond Demand, Festive Traction, and Continued Retail Expansion
PNGS Reva Diamond Jewellery Limited, a branded certified natural diamond jewellery retailer backed by the 190+ year legacy of the P. N. Gadgil & Sons Group, reported robust revenue growth for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, reflecting strong consumer demand and continued retail expansion momentum.
Revenue from Operations for Q4 FY26 stood at Rs. 1,382.14 million, registering a 139.07% year-on-year increase compared to Rs. 578.14 million in Q4 FY25. Excluding gold sales, revenue grew 96.90% YoY, highlighting strong growth in the Company’s core diamond jewellery segment. (Figures are subject to limited review by Statutory Auditors.)
The quarter’s revenue included Rs. 243.81 million from gold sales, arising from the disposal of excess gold received as part consideration for diamond jewellery purchases.
Operationally, performance was supported by strong festive and occasion-led demand. Gudhi Padwa sales rose to approximately Rs. 70 million, up from Rs. 20 million last year (2.5x growth), while Valentine’s Day also contributed meaningfully to quarterly performance.
Retail expansion remained a key growth driver. In March 2026, the company added 1 COCO (Company-Owned Company-Operated) store and 1 Shop-in-Shop (SIS) outlet, taking the total store count to 36 (2 COCO + 34 SIS stores) as against 33 SIS stores a year ago. The shift toward a COCO-led format aims to enhance operating leverage and support long-term scalability.
Commenting on the performance, Amit Modak said:
“Our Q4 performance reflects a structural shift towards branded and certified natural diamond jewellery. Encouragingly, we are seeing deeper customer engagement and repeat purchases. As we expand our COCO footprint, our focus remains on building a scalable retail platform with strong inventory discipline and a consistent brand experience.”
Looking ahead, the company plans to roll out ~15 COCO stores over the next 24 months, supported by IPO proceeds allocated towards store capex, inventory, and brand-building initiatives. One store has already been launched in March 2026.
In parallel, PNGS Reva will continue leveraging SIS placements within promoter group stores, enabling capital-efficient expansion alongside exclusive outlets.
With a disciplined expansion strategy across Maharashtra and high-growth pan-India markets, and backed by the strong heritage and credibility of PNGS, the company is well-positioned to sustain growth momentum in the organised diamond jewellery segment.
