Raniwala 1881 Partners with Francorp to Scale Retail Footprint Through Franchising

The iconic Jaipur-based jewellery house adopts FOFO and FOCO models to expand across India while preserving its royal heritage and artisanal legacy

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.”

Ganesh Chaturthi is a celebration filled with colour, culture and beautiful traditions—and jewellery is an essential part of the festive dressing. Bringing together the richness of Indian artistry with contemporary festive styling, Kushals Fashion Jewellery presents its Ganeshotsav collection, an edit created for making a statement this festive season.

Inspired by the grandeur of temple jewellery and traditional Indian motifs, the collection puts Ganesha at the heart of its designs, alongside intricate peacocks, elephants, florals, paisleys and ornamental patterns. The pieces bring a sense of occasion to festive dressing while retaining the versatility to be styled in a contemporary way.

Crafted in 18K gold-plated fashion jewellery with a premium finish, the collection features statement necklaces, ornate jhumkas, naths, detailed rings and intricately designed bangles. Ruby and green coloured stones, pearls and colourful beads add pops of colour against the rich gold finish, giving the jewellery a vibrant yet sophisticated festive appeal.

The standout necklaces feature Ganesha motifs and temple-inspired designs, making them the highlight of any festive outfit. The jhumkas bring the same intricate detailing, while the statement rings and bangles offer an opportunity to mix, match and layer. From a single hero piece to a more maximal festive stack, the collection is designed to work with different jewellery moods.

For Ganesh pujas, family celebrations and festive get-togethers, the collection pairs effortlessly with sarees, suits, kurtas and contemporary ethnic attire. A statement necklace can transform a classic saree look, while layered bangles, statement rings or ornate jhumkas can add just the right amount of festive drama to a simpler outfit.
