CaratLane hosted an exclusive collection preview event with full grandeur at the signature store in Bandra, Mumbai, where real-life cabin crew were invited for a first look. The event was graced by the presence of Gul Panag—actress, politician, and adventure enthusiast—who is also a licensed private pilot.

Saumen Bhoumik, MD – CaratLane, said, “Aviation in India is one of the fastest-growing industries globally, and we proudly have the highest share of lady pilots. Right from the days of a single national carrier, Air India, aircrew members have been icons of style and symbols of a rising, modern India. This thoughtfully designed collection is our tribute to the brave women who make our skies safer, better, and smarter every single day.”

Gul Panag remarked, “This collection speaks straight to my heart. Aviation gave me wings, and now there’s jewellery that celebrates that feeling in such a stylish and everlasting way. It is definitely a must-have for aviation enthusiasts. There’s only one thing better than flying, and it’s flying in style!” Customers intrigued by aviation, travel, and such bold designs can explore the collection online on www.caratlane.com or in select stores across In

Jewellery retailer PC Jeweller has reported a strong financial turnaround, posting a consolidated net profit of ₹94.78 crore for the fourth quarter of FY25, marking a sharp recovery from a loss of ₹121.64 crore in the same period last year. The rebound was fueled by a significant surge in sales, with total income jumping to ₹699.02 crore, compared to just ₹48.49 crore year-on-year.

For the full fiscal year 2025, the company delivered a consolidated net profit of ₹577.70 crore, reversing a net loss of ₹629.36 crore recorded in FY24, according to the Press Trust of India. PC Jeweller described FY25 as a “turnaround year,” attributing the success to strong fundraising efforts and improved financial performance.

As per a regulatory filing, the company raised ₹2,702.11 crore through a preferential issue of fully convertible warrants, achieving a 99.89% subscription rate. In addition, PC Jeweller executed a Settlement Agreement with its consortium of banks, fulfilling all related financial obligations on time.

The company also made significant progress in deleveraging, cutting its outstanding bank debts by approximately 50% during the year. It expressed confidence in becoming debt-free by the end of FY26. As of March 31, 2025, PC Jeweller operated 49 company-owned stores and three franchise outlets across the country.

Kumari Jewels, the contemporary spin-off of heritage house DP Jewellers, is rapidly emerging as a youth-driven disruptor in India’s jewellery space. After debuting its flagship store in Mumbai’s Kala Ghoda less than a year ago, the brand has now launched a second outlet on Bandra’s Turner Road and is setting sights on a bold national expansion—aiming for 35 stores across metro cities in the next three years, including 5–6 locations in Mumbai by December 2025.

Crafted for India’s under-35 demographic, which makes up over 70% of the population, Kumari Jewels brings a fresh, fashion-forward perspective to fine jewellery. With customisable, lightweight pieces that start at ₹10,000 and go up to ₹1.5 lakh, the brand blends accessible luxury with global design sensibilities and Indian craftsmanship.

“Kumari is not just a new brand—it’s a new blueprint for what jewellery retail in India can look like,” said Amit Bandi, CEO of Kumari Fine Jewellery. “We’re building a model that’s agile, data-led, and deeply attuned to how young India shops today… With the momentum we’ve seen, our target of 35 stores in three years is not just ambitious, it’s inevitable.”

Kumari has seen a surge in digital traction—from 25,000 online engagements in November 2024 to over 300,000 today—and reports a 20% month-on-month revenue growth, doubling sales since launch. This success is powered by a robust omnichannel strategy that merges immersive in-store experiences with sharp, data-driven digital marketing.

Co-Founder Vikas Kataria noted, “The jewellery market in India is ready for disruption. Kumari Jewels addresses a vital need—offering accessible, style-led designs that enable self-expression while staying true to our heritage of craftsmanship.”

Creative Director Supriya Kataria added, “Our collections draw inspiration from global fashion capitals, blending contemporary elegance with Indian roots to create sleek, versatile pieces for the modern Indian woman.”

Looking ahead, Kumari is preparing to expand across major cities including Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Delhi-NCR, Pune, Ahmedabad, Baroda, Chandigarh, and Jaipur. The brand also plans to debut international pop-up stores in London and the UAE by the end of 2025.

With strong leadership, an inclusive design philosophy, and a business model tuned to a digitally savvy audience, Kumari Jewels is not just building a jewellery brand—it’s shaping a cultural movement for a new generation of Indian women.
