Kumari Jewels Eyes 35 Stores Nationwide, Redefining Jewellery for India’s New Generation
Kumari Jewels, the contemporary spin-off of heritage house DP Jewellers, is rapidly emerging as a youth-driven disruptor in India’s jewellery space. After debuting its flagship store in Mumbai’s Kala Ghoda less than a year ago, the brand has now launched a second outlet on Bandra’s Turner Road and is setting sights on a bold national expansion—aiming for 35 stores across metro cities in the next three years, including 5–6 locations in Mumbai by December 2025.
Crafted for India’s under-35 demographic, which makes up over 70% of the population, Kumari Jewels brings a fresh, fashion-forward perspective to fine jewellery. With customisable, lightweight pieces that start at ₹10,000 and go up to ₹1.5 lakh, the brand blends accessible luxury with global design sensibilities and Indian craftsmanship.

“Kumari is not just a new brand—it’s a new blueprint for what jewellery retail in India can look like,” said Amit Bandi, CEO of Kumari Fine Jewellery. “We’re building a model that’s agile, data-led, and deeply attuned to how young India shops today… With the momentum we’ve seen, our target of 35 stores in three years is not just ambitious, it’s inevitable.”
Kumari has seen a surge in digital traction—from 25,000 online engagements in November 2024 to over 300,000 today—and reports a 20% month-on-month revenue growth, doubling sales since launch. This success is powered by a robust omnichannel strategy that merges immersive in-store experiences with sharp, data-driven digital marketing.
Co-Founder Vikas Kataria noted, “The jewellery market in India is ready for disruption. Kumari Jewels addresses a vital need—offering accessible, style-led designs that enable self-expression while staying true to our heritage of craftsmanship.”


Creative Director Supriya Kataria added, “Our collections draw inspiration from global fashion capitals, blending contemporary elegance with Indian roots to create sleek, versatile pieces for the modern Indian woman.”
Looking ahead, Kumari is preparing to expand across major cities including Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Delhi-NCR, Pune, Ahmedabad, Baroda, Chandigarh, and Jaipur. The brand also plans to debut international pop-up stores in London and the UAE by the end of 2025.
With strong leadership, an inclusive design philosophy, and a business model tuned to a digitally savvy audience, Kumari Jewels is not just building a jewellery brand—it’s shaping a cultural movement for a new generation of Indian women.

Bhima Gold Unveils Ashtalakshmi Coin Collection for Akshaya Tritiya, Blending Devotion with Exquisite Design
A culturally rooted, insight-led launch that reimagines festive gold buying through storytelling, symbolism, and spiritual relevance.
In a move that blends cultural storytelling with product innovation, Bhima Gold has unveiled its Ashtalakshmi Coin Collection for Akshaya Tritiya – positioning gold not just as a purchase, but as a deeply symbolic expression of prosperity, faith, and intent.
Timed with one of India’s most significant gold-buying occasions, Akshaya Tritiya, the launch reflects a deeper cultural shift in consumer behaviour. While the festival continues to drive strong purchase intent, there is a growing preference for meaningful, purpose-led buying experiences over purely transactional consumption.
Aligned with this evolving mindset, the Ashtalakshmi coin collection has been thoughtfully conceptualised to blend tradition with deeper symbolism. Inspired by the eight sacred forms of Goddess Lakshmi, each coin represents a distinct dimension of prosperity—from wealth and nourishment to courage, knowledge, and continuity.

By bringing together Adi Lakshmi, Dhana Lakshmi, Dhanya Lakshmi, Gaja Lakshmi, Santana Lakshmi, Veera Lakshmi, Vijaya Lakshmi and Vidya Lakshmi, the collection reframes gold coins from being a generic festive purchase to a story-driven, culturally immersive product experience – one that resonates across generations and belief systems.
This launch also aligns with Bhima Gold’s larger centenary narrative of “Together Purever,” which focuses on legacy, shared traditions, and evolving consumer meaning. The collection becomes an extension of that philosophy – reinforcing how heritage brands are reinterpreting tradition for a more aware and emotionally driven consumer.
Customers can pre-book their favourite jewellery by paying just 10% in advance & get their jewellery on Akshaya Tritiya at the lowest rate, which gives customers more flexibility and helps them plan their purchases with greater confidence, especially at a time when gold prices are high.
Akshaya Tritiya has traditionally been associated with intention, belief, and the aspiration for prosperity, extending beyond a purely transactional act of buying gold. The Ashtalakshmi Coin Collection has been conceptualised to reflect this deeper cultural and spiritual significance, with each coin designed to carry a distinct meaning and sense of purpose. The initiative also aligns with evolving consumer preferences, where there is a noticeable shift towards jewellery that offers emotional, cultural, and spiritual resonance in addition to intrinsic value.
With gold prices near record highs and consumer sentiment becoming more considered, Bhima’s Ashtalakshmi Coin Collection signals a broader shift in the category — from price-led promotions to meaning-led engagement, where design, storytelling, and cultural relevance drive both differentiation and demand.
As legacy brands navigate a new era of conscious consumption, Bhima Gold’s latest offering highlights how tradition can be reimagined as experience, making gold buying not just an act of investment, but an expression of identity and belief.
