Shraddha Kapoor-Backed Palmonas Raises ₹55 Cr in Series A to Fuel Nationwide Retail Expansion
Pune-based demi-fine jewellery brand Palmonas has raised ₹55 crore in its Series A funding round, led by Vertex Ventures Southeast Asia and India, a subsidiary of Temasek.

This marks the company’s first institutional fundraise, aimed primarily at scaling its offline footprint across India.
With 25 stores already operating in metro and tier-2 cities, Palmonas now plans to launch 100 company-owned outlets, with a focus on key markets such as Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Pune. The expansion strategy will also explore emerging cities like Aurangabad and Bhagalpur, with 60% of the stores located in malls, 40% on high streets, and a few in airports.
The new capital will also support team expansion and product innovation, particularly in the nine-carat gold segment paired with lab-grown diamonds—a fast-growing category amid surging gold prices and new hallmarking norms.
Palmonas has shown steady financial growth, with revenue increasing from ₹3.83 crore in FY23 to ₹5.38 crore in FY24, though it reported a net loss of ₹1.24 crore.
Prior to this round, Palmonas had raised about ₹7 crore from angel investors and its appearance on Shark Tank India, where it secured investment from Namita Thapar (Emcure Pharmaceuticals) and Ritesh Agarwal (OYO).
The funding comes at a time of increased investor interest in jewellery startups, particularly those innovating in lab-grown and demi-fine segments. Competitors like Aukera, True Diamond, Amama, and Coluxe have also raised capital recently. Meanwhile, larger players such as GIVA, Lalithaa Jewellery Mart, and BlueStone are tapping into the public and private markets to scale operations.
