Kumari Jewels Eyes 35 Stores Nationwide, Redefining Jewellery for India’s New Generation

Published

on

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.

GJC Delegation Meets RBI Deputy Governor, Makes GMS Presentation

The Proposal Was Acknowledged As An Innovative Initiative With The Potential To Become A Game Changer For The Industry and The Nation.

A GJC delegation comprising Vice Chairman Avinash Gupta, Legal Consultant CA Bhavin Mehta, and National Secretary Mitesh Dhorda met with Shirish Chandra Murmu, Deputy Governor of the Reserve Bank of India,  along with his senior team.

During the meeting, the delegation made a detailed presentation on the proposed Gold Monetization Scheme (GMS). The RBI team appreciated the concept of the scheme. The proposal was acknowledged as an innovative initiative with the potential to become a game changer for the industry and the nation.

GJC remains committed to working closely with all stakeholders —including the government, banks, jewellers, gold depositors, and temple trusts—in the larger national interest and for the sustainable growth of the GJ industry.

The Gold Monetization Scheme (GMS) in India was launched with the primary objective of reducing gold imports by mobilizing the vast amount of idle gold held by households, institutions, and temple trusts, thereby decreasing the country’s heavy reliance on gold imports. By encouraging depositors to bring their unused gold into the formal banking system, the scheme puts this dormant gold into productive economic purposes, such as meeting the needs of jewellers and industries without requiring fresh imports.

Additionally, the scheme allows depositors to earn interest on their gold deposits instead of keeping gold idle at home, transforming a non-yielding asset into an income-generating investment while simultaneously strengthening India’s gold supply chain and reducing the trade deficit.
