GIVA, founded by Ishendra Agarwal, Nikita Prasad, and Sachin Shetty, grew into a successful INR 505 Cr brand in the silver and lab-grown diamond jewellery space by modernizing silver jewellery and building trust while buying online.
The company's revenue surged by 100% in FY25 to INR 250 Cr, securing a strong market position alongside competitors like CaratLane and Bluestone.
India's jewellery market is projected to grow, with GIVA tapping into the trend of lab-grown diamonds and introducing a loyalty program to drive repeat purchases.
With a focus on lab-grown diamonds, GIVA captured 20% of its FY25 revenues and strategically expanded offline to complement its online presence.
The company's data-driven approach and product diversification, including sub-brands like Heer By GIVA, contributed to its growth and customer appeal.
Despite past successes, GIVA faces challenges in India's gold-centric jewellery market and the need for sustained investment in branding and differentiation.
The startup plans to enter the capital market for further expansion and faces the task of maintaining its competitive edge in a rapidly evolving industry.
