Raniwala 1881, the luxury jewellery brand rooted in Jaipur’s rich heritage, has announced a strategic alliance with Francorp, the franchising advisory arm of Franchise India Group, to fuel its next phase of growth through a structured franchise model.

This partnership marks a significant milestone for the 140-year-old brand as it seeks to expand its retail footprint across India while staying true to its legacy of regal design and meticulous craftsmanship.

Under the agreement, Raniwala 1881 will implement both Franchise-Owned, Franchise-Operated (FOFO) and Franchise-Owned, Company-Operated (FOCO) models. These formats aim to offer opportunities for entrepreneurs and investors to be part of the evolution of one of India’s most prestigious fine jewellery brands.

“Our jewellery is more than just adornment; it is a representation of centuries-old craftsmanship and a deep-rooted heritage,” said Abhishek Raniwala, Managing Director of Raniwala 1881. “With the growing demand for handcrafted Polki and Jadau jewellery, this partnership with Francorp allows us to expand while preserving our brand’s exclusivity.”

Founded in the 19th century by Rai Bahadur Champalal of Beawar, the brand carries a legacy dating back to the British era, when the family was honored with the title “Raniwala.” The brand continues to be a trusted name in bridal jewellery, known for its 18-karat gold Polki pieces that appeal to both Gen Z and Millennial audiences.

Over the years, Raniwala 1881 has also collaborated with some of India’s top fashion designers, including Sabyasachi Mukherjee, Manish Malhotra, and Rahul Mishra, reinforcing its place at the intersection of heritage and high fashion.

The shift toward franchising comes as India’s jewellery market undergoes a transformation, with consumers increasingly gravitating toward branded, story-driven luxury pieces that offer authenticity and traceability.

Francorp will help guide Raniwala 1881’s expansion across metro cities and fast-growing luxury markets, ensuring a consistent retail experience that honors the brand’s heritage.

“Luxury retail is evolving rapidly, and heritage brands like Raniwala 1881 are leading the way in strategic expansion while maintaining timeless elegance and exclusivity,” said Gaurav Marya, Chairman of Franchise India Group. “Franchising provides an effective model to scale without compromising brand integrity. With FOFO and FOCO formats, we’re introducing a new dimension to luxury jewellery retail in India.”

Heer by GIVA Launches ‘She Is Not a Campaign’, Celebrating Women Beyond Performative Empowerment

Heer by GIVA launches a thought-provoking campaign that shifts the focus from performative empowerment to the authentic, everyday realities of modern womanhood

Heer by GIVA, GIVA’s gold and lab-grown diamond jewellery brand, has unveiled its Women’s Day campaign titled “She Is Not a Campaign.” The initiative challenges the performative narratives often associated with Women’s Day, choosing instead to celebrate the quiet, honest realities of womanhood.

Every year, women are expected to embody inspiration, strength, and limitless ambition on cue. But real women don’t wake up every day to perform empowerment. Through this campaign, Heer by GIVA shifts the focus from idealized portrayals to authentic expressions of individuality, softness, contradictions, and everyday choices.

Instead of portraying women as constantly strong or inspirational, the campaign humanizes them, embracing their unfiltered moments, personal choices, and quiet confidence. Because real empowerment isn’t always loud and women don’t exist to become a headline, a hashtag, or a campaign brief.

At the heart of the campaign is a series of thoughtful digital films and visual stories released across Heer by GIVA’s social platforms. The content embraces minimal visuals and emotionally intelligent messaging, capturing moments that feel honest and relatable rather than performative. The campaign has also been amplified through influencer collaborations, where creators share their own interpretations of the message, reflecting on the everyday realities of being a woman rather than presenting curated notions of perfection.

Extending the campaign beyond digital storytelling, Heer by GIVA introduced an interactive out-of-home installation, transforming a routine public space into an experiential campaign touchpoint.

The bus shelter was redesigned using the campaign’s visual language and messaging. At the centre of the installation is a mirror integrated into the display, allowing people waiting at the bus stop to see their own reflection within the artwork.

With She Is Not a Campaign, Heer by GIVA hopes to move the conversation beyond symbolic gestures and toward a more meaningful acknowledgement of women’s experiences.
