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.”

PNGS Reva Diamonds Unveils Official E‑Commerce Platform, Marking A New Digital Chapter In Omnichannel Luxury
Certified natural diamond jewellery from the House of P N Gadgil & Sons now accessible nationwide through a seamless digital experience
PNGS Reva Diamonds, the premium certified natural diamond jewellery brand from the 195‑year‑old House of P N Gadgil & Sons (PNGS), today announced the launch of its official e‑commerce website, going live on September 16, 2026. The new platform extends the brand’s omnichannel footprint, bringing contemporary, hallmarked diamond jewellery to customers across India with the same trust, transparency, and craftsmanship Reva Diamonds is known for in-store.
The website, https://revadiamonds.com/, offers an immersive browsing experience featuring Reva Diamonds’ signature collections including everyday wear, festive pieces, and bridal jewellery, along with detailed product certification, 360° views, and secure, pan‑India delivery.
With the launch of its official website, Reva Diamonds is also introducing exclusive digital launch offers for customers. As part of The Reva Diamonds Digital Reveal, customers can avail themselves of a flat 50% off on making charges on certified natural diamond jewellery, exclusively on the Reva Diamonds website. Additionally, customers who sign up on the website can enjoy Rs. 1,000 off on their first order by using the code GET1000 at checkout.
Commenting on the launch, Amit Modak, CEO & Director, PNGS Reva Diamond Jewellery Limited, said:
“The launch of our official website marks an important step in Reva Diamonds’ journey as we build a contemporary diamond jewellery brand rooted in the enduring values of the P. N. Gadgil & Sons legacy. Today’s customer does not experience a brand through a single channel; discovery may begin online, the consideration may happen across digital and physical touchpoints, and the final experience is built through trust and personal engagement. Our objective is therefore to create a seamless ecosystem where our digital and retail experiences complement each other.
The website is an extension of our brand—not just a destination to view jewellery, but a platform through which customers can discover our collections, understand our craftsmanship and begin their journey with Reva.”
The website launch comes at a significant stage in Reva Diamonds’ growth journey. Established in December 2024, the brand has been developed as a new-age diamond jewellery proposition carrying forward the heritage of P. N. Gadgil & Sons while creating its own identity around modern diamond jewellery. Reva Diamonds has continued to expand its retail footprint, with the brand currently focused on creating a contemporary jewellery experience for today’s consumers.
Amit Modak brings extensive experience across finance, commodity markets, retail and the jewellery industry to his leadership role at PNGS Reva Diamond Jewellery Limited. He has been associated with Reva since its incorporation and also serves as a Director of P. N. Gadgil & Sons Limited.
With the launch of its official website, Reva Diamonds aims to further strengthen its connection with existing and prospective customers, while creating a digital foundation for the brand’s next phase of growth.
Reva Diamonds currently operates 36 locations through a mix of exclusive showrooms and shop‑in‑shop formats, with a strong presence in Maharashtra and ongoing expansion into new markets.
