Kumari Fine Jewellery Redefines Luxury Retail with Immersive Brand Experiences in Mumbai
From QR-enabled streetscapes to social media-friendly store interiors, the brand is building more than stores—it’s crafting moments.
In an age where attention spans are fleeting and consumer expectations ever-evolving, Kumari Fine Jewellery is quietly rewriting the rulebook on luxury retail. The brand’s recent store launch in Mumbai’s Bandra wasn’t just a commercial debut—it was a masterclass in immersive brand-building.
Instead of sticking to conventional promotions, Kumari created an interactive public experience that blurred the lines between art installation, fashion fantasy, and marketing. Think oversized candy-pink handbags gliding down Turner Road, floral walls transforming sidewalks, and neon signage that felt more like a music video set than a jewellery storefront.
But at the heart of this strategy wasn’t just aesthetic flair—it was smart consumer engagement. QR codes embedded into the installations guided intrigued passers-by from the street straight into the store (and in many cases, into a purchase). An “Insta Wall” inside the store turned every visitor into a potential brand ambassador, with shareable photo ops baked into the experience.

According to CEO Amit Bandi, the goal was to ensure the brand stood apart in a city saturated with traditional luxury formats. “We’re not in the business of just selling jewellery,” Bandi said. “We’re creating living brand moments—the kind that people remember, post about, and return to.”
This experiential philosophy extends beyond launch day theatrics. The brand’s design language—rooted in youthful maximalism—is reflected in every detail, from floral-wrapped façades to interactive installations that invite discovery and delight.
Managing Director Vikas Kataria elaborates, “Today’s luxury consumer isn’t just buying a product—they’re investing in a narrative, a feeling, a memory. Our job is to deliver that at every touchpoint.”

Kumari’s Bandra opening follows its inaugural flagship at Kala Ghoda and signals the brand’s intent to scale this experience-led approach. Plans are underway for several more stores across Mumbai, each envisioned as a unique chapter in a growing story of luxury, identity, and innovation.
In a landscape where traditional jewellery retail often leans on legacy and lineage, Kumari is charting a different course—one that speaks to the modern Indian woman: bold, expressive, and unafraid to turn heads.

Palmonas Celebrates Its 101st Store, Marking A Journey Built On Trust, Community and A New Way Of Experiencing Jewellery
Palmonas, the brand that made modern-looking jewellery a part of everyday style, has reached a significant milestone with the opening of its 101st store, marking another chapter in its journey of making jewellery more accessible.
From its first store in Pune in 2022 to 101 stores across India, Palmonas’ journey began with a simple thought. Jewellery should feel special, without having to be saved for a special occasion. The Demi-Fine® collection was created to bridge this gap, combining thoughtful design, everyday wearability, and affordable pricing.
Today, the brand’s growth extends beyond its retail footprint. Palmonas has also built a community of over 1 million followers on Instagram, reflecting the growing connection it has created with its audience across India. The 101st store marks not just a retail milestone, but a journey shaped by the people who have been part of the brand’s growth.
Speaking on the milestone, Pallavi Mohadikar, CEO & Founder, Palmonas, said,

“Reaching 101 stores is a very special moment for me. When I started Palmonas, I had a simple vision of changing the way people experience jewellery. Today, that vision has grown into 101 stores and over a million people following our journey on Instagram. For us, 101 is a stepping stone towards our next milestone of 2,000 stores. We’re excited for what comes next.”
With its growing retail network and digital community, Palmonas continues to expand its presence across India, bringing its jewellery closer to customers and creating spaces where they can discover and experience the brand.
As Palmonas looks ahead, it remains focused on continuing to make thoughtfully designed jewellery more accessible while growing a community that feels connected to the brand and its journey.
