Aditya Birla Group Launches Indriya To Enter Indian Jewellery Market

Aditya Birla Group Chairman, Mr. Kumar Mangalam Birla on July 30, announced the launch of the Group’s jewellery retail business, marking the Group’s foray into the rapidly expanding Rs.6.7 lakh crore Indian jewellery market. This strategic move marks another significant milestone as the Group strengthens its consumer portfolio, leveraging its strong brand equity and deep market insights.

About Indriya

The brand name ‘Indriya’ has its origins in Sanskrit, deeply rooted in India’s rich cultural heritage. Indriya is an ode to the five senses. The name reflects the brand’s philosophy of creating jewellery that awakens and delights all five senses, defining one’s being and consciousness. Indriya’s brand insignia, a Female Gazelle, serves as a powerful metaphor for the senses and epitomises the beauty and grace of a woman. This symbol represents the brand’s commitment to creating jewellery that not only adorns but also empowers and celebrates the wearer.

Aims of Brand Indriya

The jewellery business, launched under the brand Indriya, aims to secure a position among India’s top three jewellery retailers over the next 5 years. This ambitious venture is backed by an unprecedented investment of Rs 5,000 Cr, underscoring the Aditya Birla Group’s commitment to revolutionising the jewellery retail landscape in India.

Four stores in three cities

Indriya will simultaneously open four stores in three cities – Delhi, Indore, and Jaipur. The plan is to expand to 10+ cities within six months. The large 7000 sq ft plus stores— 30%-35% larger than the average size of national brands’— will carry an extensive range that spans occasions.  The brand will offer a large initial assortment of 15000 curated jewellery pieces with over 5,000 exclusive designs. New collections will be introduced every 45 days – the fastest mind to market cycle in the Indian fine jewellery market.

Timeless craft

Our product fuses timeless craft, but reimagines contemporary designs. Our regional selection celebrates unique backgrounds but opens them up for discovery across other cultures” Mr. Sandeep Kohli, CEO of Novel Jewels, said, ” Jewellery as a category is transitioning from mere investment to a statement. Our proposition is built on perceptible differentiation, distinctive designs, personalized service, and authentic regional nuances.

At the heart of Indriya’s offering is the innovative Signature Experience with exclusive lounges. Customisation services with in-store stylists and expert jewellery consultants promises to elevate all the five senses and create an unparalleled shopping journey. Our best-in-class digital front end will create a seamless experience across digital and physical touchpoints and herald the new age in jewellery retail.”
