Stepping into Rourkela at one of the most meaningful moments of the year, Senco Gold & Diamonds marks the grand opening of its first store in the city ahead of Akshaya Tritiya, India’s most auspicious occasion for buying gold. With a legacy of 87 years in fine jewellery craftsmanship, the brand brings Rourkela not only a wider selection of designs but also the reassurance of enduring trust, integrity, and design excellence. As families prepare for the festive season, the store offers a refined destination that beautifully blends tradition, modernity, and the dependable quality Senco is known for.
The launch was celebrated in style, with Suvankar Sen, MD & Founder, and actor Bhumi Pednekar, who added a touch of festive sparkle to the occasion with her presence.
Designed as a modern jewellery destination, the expansive 5,000 sq. ft. store spans two floors and showcases Senco’s signature craftsmanship across gold, diamond, and platinum collections. From heirloom-inspired designs to sleek contemporary creations, the store delivers an elevated and immersive retail experience, perfectly timed for the season when shoppers look for jewellery that symbolises prosperity, celebration, and new beginnings.
Senco has unveiled its latest antique jewellery collection, thoughtfully crafted to resonate with the region’s cultural aesthetic, marking a special highlight at the store. The store showcases some of Senco’s most cherished collections, reflecting the brand’s distinctive design language and commitment to fine craftsmanship. Bringing together the charm of traditional karigari with contemporary design sensibilities, the curation strikes an effortless balance between heritage and modern style. From everyday essentials and festive gold to high-polish diamonds and handcrafted statement pieces, the store offers a thoughtfully curated selection that honours India’s rich legacy while seamlessly aligning with modern elegance.
Actor Bhumi Pednekar Said:

“I’ve always loved how Senco creates jewellery that feels effortless yet striking. There’s a warmth and authenticity in their pieces that I really connect with, because you can see the heart, the craft, and the story behind every design. With Akshaya Tritiya coming up, it feels even more special to be here today. This is such a meaningful time for families to bring home jewellery that symbolises prosperity and new beginnings. I’m excited for Rourkela to experience jewellery that not only looks beautiful but also feels personal and purposeful.”
Speaking at the launch, Suvankar Sen, MD & CEO, Senco Gold & Diamonds, Said:
“Rourkela represents a promising market with a deep cultural and emotional connection to jewellery, especially during auspicious occasions like Akshaya Tritiya. As we continue expanding across India, our focus remains on exceptional product quality, design excellence, and a customer-first retail experience. Having Bhumi with us today adds an extra layer of meaning; her grounded, conscious, and contemporary style reflects the very values Senco stands for, values shaped by an 87-year legacy of trust and craftsmanship.”

Joita Sen, Director, Head of Marketing and Designs, added, Said:

“Opening in Rourkela ahead of Akshaya Tritiya makes this moment truly special for us. Eastern India has always been integral to Senco’s journey, and with this store, we are bringing our heritage of trust, quality, and design innovation even closer to customers here. Our aim is to offer a seamless, modern, and warm retail experience that matches the evolving aspirations of the city.”
Strategically located in Udit Nagar, the store is poised to become a key jewellery destination for shoppers in Rourkela, blending Senco’s rich heritage with a contemporary, welcoming retail environment at the perfect time for festive buying.

Kriti Sanon Joins GIVA As Investor and Brand Ambassador
Move Marks A Strategic Partnership As GIVA Strengthens Its Position In India’s Fast-Growing Fine Jewellery Market
GIVA, India’s leading fine jewellery brand, today announced National Award-winning actor and entrepreneur Kriti Sanon as both Brand Ambassador and Strategic Investor, marking a significant milestone in the company’s growth journey.
The announcement builds on GIVA’s recent campaign launch with Kriti Sanon, Style, Sealed in Silver, signalling a deeper long-term association between the actor and the brand. Beyond capital, Kriti’s association with GIVA will extend across brand-building, collection design inputs, and consumer engagement, leveraging her strong understanding of fashion, culture, and aspirational young audiences as the brand enters its next phase of growth.

Today, the brand is increasingly focused on a new generation of consumers who view jewellery as an extension of personal style, aspirational, design-led, and made for everyday expression rather than just occasions.
Over the last six years, GIVA has emerged as one of India’s fastest-growing omnichannel jewellery brands, with a rapidly expanding footprint across silver jewellery, gold, and lab-grown diamonds. Today, the brand operates over 300+ stores across the country and Sri Lanka and has built a strong connection with young Indian consumers looking for jewellery that feels personal, expressive, and worn beyond occasion.
Founded in 2019 by Ishendra Agarwal and Nikita Prasad, GIVA entered the market with a clear thesis that India lacked a strong, organised player in the everyday fine silver jewellery category. At a time when silver jewellery remained fragmented and largely occasion-led, GIVA built a design-forward brand focused on young consumers seeking authentic, accessible jewellery they could wear every day.
Speaking on the announcement, Ishendra Agarwal, Founder, GIVA, said:

“Kriti joining GIVA as both ambassador and investor marks a strategic milestone for the brand. She strongly resonates with the new generation of consumers confident, expressive, and deeply individualistic that GIVA is building for. Her investment reflects a shared belief in our long-term vision and the future of design-led fine jewellery in India. Over the years, GIVA has built a strong emotional connection with consumers, and we are excited to have Kriti partner with us as we enter our next phase of growth.”
Speaking about the partnership, Kriti Sanon said:
“What drew me to GIVA was never just the jewellery, it was the conviction behind the brand. From the very beginning, GIVA understood something that many miss: that young India doesn’t want to be dressed, they want to express. And GIVA has built a language for that. By the time we started discussing a partnership, I already believed deeply in the vision. I’ve watched this brand earn real trust, real love, and I wanted to be part of what comes next. And as an investor, I’m here to help shape what it becomes, bringing my instincts around fashion, storytelling, and design to a brand I genuinely believe in.”

Kriti’s strategic investment comes on the heels of GIVA’s ₹530 crore Series C round led by Creaegis, with participation from Premji Invest, Epiq Capital, and Edelweiss Discovery Fund capital being deployed towards retail expansion, technology, supply chain strengthening, and growth in newer categories including lab-grown diamonds.
With design, distribution, and now a deeper creative partnership at its core, GIVA is building towards becoming the defining fine jewellery brand for a new generation of Indian consumers.
