Key themes
Luxury bridal jewellery brand scaling retail and exports
How the narrative shifted
- Artisan legacy and trust: Management positions the 105-year family legacy and deep artisan relationships as an irreplicable competitive moat, attracting both talent and customer trust.
- Retail store expansion pilot: A cautious, learn-before-scaling approach: open 3 stores in FY27 to test operations, with a franchise tie-up targeting 30 stores later. Flagship store at year-end.
- Q4 softness due to geopolitical shock: The war escalation from January to March made luxury buyers 'conscious', causing Q4 sales to dip. Management frames this as temporary and not structural.
- Product innovation and new collections: Upcoming collections blend Rajasthani Jadau with South Indian temple art, plus new menswear and Gen Z lighter jewellery. Positions the brand as a trendsetter.
- Export potential via FTA and diaspora: First Instagram sale to US with 50% tariff validates demand; UK FTA opens July 2026. Middle East shows in conversation. Export scale-up is a gradual long-term lever.
- Margin resilience from cost-plus and B2C shift: The company maintains fixed margins on cost; shift to direct B2C could lift margins, but management signals they will not overcharge, balancing profitability and perceived asset value for customers.
Operational commentary
- Active customer base grew from 96 to 274, now serving 21 states.
- Exports initiated with first Instagram sale to US client despite 50% US tariff, demonstrating direct-to-consumer pull.

Analyst Q&A
Q. Why has capacity utilisation fallen to 31% in FY26?
Our jewellery is design-centric, not commodity gold; the 31% refers only to gold weight consumed. When you count Polki, diamonds, and coloured stones, the utilisation is at par because the turnover reflects it. Gold weight statistics don't capture our product value.
Q. What are the FY27 revenue and EBITDA targets?
Revenue and EBITDA targets for FY27 are already disclosed in our DRHP. You can check our website for five-year projections. We are doing great, and the business will be far better than FY26.
Q. What is the market size for Kundan-Polki bridal jewellery and your share?
India has ~1 lakh HNI weddings annually; each needs a Polki set averaging ₹20 lakhs, implying a ₹20,000 Cr bridal Polki market. Our share is about 1%, giving us a huge runway.
