Raniwala 1881 Partners with Francorp to Scale Retail Footprint Through Franchising

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.”

This Onam, Shanaya Kapoor Curates Indinoor’s Celebration Of Timeless Temple Jewellery

Indinoor Brings South Indian Heritage To Life With A Contemporary Temple Jewellery Edit Curated By Shanaya Kapoor

As homes fill with the fragrance of fresh flowers, Onam Sadhyas are lovingly prepared, and Kasavu sarees come out of wardrobes once again, jewellery becomes more than an accessory. It becomes a celebration of heritage, identity and the traditions that bring generations together.

This Onam, Indinoor brings that sentiment to life with a specially curated Temple Jewellery Edit by co-creator Shanaya Kapoor. Rooted in South India’s rich jewellery traditions yet designed for the modern woman, the edit reflects Indinoor’s belief that heritage jewellery should feel just as relevant today as it did generations ago.

Since co-creating the brand, Shanaya has helped shape Indinoor’s creative vision with a simple philosophy: traditional jewellery should be effortless to wear, versatile to style and cherished beyond festive occasions. Her Onam curation brings together timeless Temple jewellery that pairs as beautifully with a classic Kasavu saree as it does with contemporary festive silhouettes, encouraging women to celebrate tradition in their own way.

At the heart of the collection lies the artistry of Temple jewellery, inspired by centuries-old South Indian craftsmanship. From lotus and keri motifs to intricate temple-inspired detailing, every design pays homage to India’s cultural legacy while embracing a modern sensibility. The edit features everything from statement necklaces and earrings to bangles, rings and festive accessories, offering thoughtfully crafted pieces for every celebration.

With the Temple Jewellery Edit, Indinoor reimagines festive dressing for a new generation, where heritage is not preserved behind glass but worn with confidence, celebrated with joy and passed on through every occasion. This Onam, the brand invites women to embrace jewellery that honours tradition while becoming part of their own evolving story.
