“自2019年以来，我们一直在打造一个品牌，让精品珠宝更易获得、更贴近印度消费者的日常生活。从一家以数字化为主的银饰业务起步，已发展成涵盖银饰、黄金和实验室培育钻石的更大规模业务。消费者和投资者对这一模式表现出的信心非常强烈，”GIVA创始人兼首席执行官Ishendra Agarwal表示。
“Since 2019, we have been building a brand that makes fine jewellery more accessible and relevant to the everyday lives of Indian consumers. What started as a digital-first silver jewellery business has evolved into a much larger proposition spanning silver, gold and lab-grown diamonds. The confidence both the consumers and the investors have shown in the proposition has been tremendous,” said Ishendra Agarwal, founder and CEO, GIVA.
GIVA由Agarwal和Nikita Prasad于2019年创立，今年5月曾通过多笔债务融资筹集2800万美元，以支持业务增长、扩张计划和运营发展。
Founded in 2019 by Agarwal and Nikita Prasad, Giva had raised $28 million through a multi-tranche debt funding round in May this year to support business growth, expansion plans and operational development.
去年6月，公司在由成长期投资机构Creaegis领投的C轮融资中筹集了近6200万美元（约53亿卢比）。
Last year in June, the company had raised nearly $62 million (Rs 530 crore) in its Series C funding round led by growth-stage investment firm Creaegis.
GIVA目前在印度和斯里兰卡运营超过400家门店，覆盖一线和二线市场，并计划在未来三到五年内将零售网络扩大至1000多家门店。
GIVA currently operates over 400 stores across India and Sri Lanka, spanning Tier I and Tier II markets, and plans to expand its retail network to more than 1,000 outlets over the next three to five years.
