Jewelbox plans to reach 30 brick-and-mortar store total this year
Lab-grown diamond label Jewelbox is aiming to expand its brick-and-mortar footprint to 30 stores by the end of the year, building on its current network of eight outlets across key metros including Delhi, Bengaluru, Chennai, and Kolkata.
'We're entering Noida, Ludhiana, Mumbai, and Hyderabad next, while doubling down in Delhi-NCR and Bengaluru,' Jewelbox's co-founder Vidita Kochar told Indian Retailer Bureau. 'After two years, we knew our model was scalable in a plug-and-play fashion.'
The expansion aligns with Jewelbox's 'phygital' strategy, integrating digital tools such as AI-enabled try-ons and smart recommendation engines with in-store experiences. Though online sales contribute 30% to the business, the label sees higher conversion rates at its physical locations, with some stores crossing 60%.
Founded with a focus on making diamonds more accessible, Jewelbox offers products starting from Rs 10,000, targeting first-time diamond buyers. The brand operates with a catalogue of over 3,500 SKUs, launching 200 new designs each month with the aim of encouraging repeat visits and purchases.
At present, Jewelbox operates at an annual revenue run rate of Rs 40 crore and is projecting a jump to Rs 150 crore next year. The brand's growth strategy prioritises profitability and sustainable scaling, according to Kochar, and new product launches include colourful stone set earrings, according to the brand's Facebook page.

Lenskart converts to public company as it gears up for IPO
Eyewear brand Lenskart has formally transitioned into a public company, marking a step towards its planned initial public offering, which could take place this financial year. The business' name has been changed from Lenskart Solutions Private Limited to Lenskart Solutions Limited. The reclassification, now filed with the Registrar of Companies, is a key procedural requirement ahead of listing on Indian stock exchanges, India Retailing reported. While Lenskart has yet to confirm the IPO's size or timeline, reports suggest the company may target a listing in the 2026 financial year, seeking to raise between $750 million and $1 billion at a valuation of $7 billion to $8 billion. Earlier this year, Kotak Mahindra Bank and Morgan Stanley were reportedly appointed as lead managers for the offering. Lenskart is also in discussions to secure a $1 billion pre-IPO round to bolster its financial position ahead of the listing. Founded in 2010, Lenskart operates over 2,500 stores across India, the UAE, Singapore, and Japan, with a user base of more than 20 million. In the 2024 financial year, the company reported an 84% reduction in net loss to Rs 10 crore and a 43% year-on-year increase in operating revenue to Rs 5,427.7 crore.
