The Aditya Birla Group has officially entered the Indian jewellery market with the launch of its new brand, Indriya. Chairman Kumar Mangalam Birla introduced the venture on Friday, July 26, in New Delhi, unveiling the Group’s ambitious plan to become one of the top three jewellery retailers in India within the next five years. This initiative is supported by a substantial investment of ₹5,000 crore.

Indriya represents a significant diversification for the Aditya Birla Group, which is already well-established in the fashion retail and lifestyle sectors. The Group aims to leverage its extensive experience in retail, design, and brand management to tap into the burgeoning ₹6.7 lakh crore Indian jewellery market.

Kumar Mangalam Birla expressed optimism about the venture, noting, “The Indian consumer is rapidly evolving, and India stands as one of the most promising consumer markets globally. This year, we have committed to expanding our consumer brands portfolio with major new launches in both paints and jewellery.”

The entry into the jewellery sector is driven by the shift from informal to formal market segments, growing consumer demand for reputable brands, and the flourishing wedding market, which presents significant growth potential.

Indriya will initially launch four stores in Delhi, Indore, and Jaipur, with plans to expand to over ten cities within six months. Each store will exceed 7,000 square feet—30%-35% larger than typical national brand stores—and will feature an extensive collection of jewellery. The brand will debut with 15,000 curated pieces, including over 5,000 exclusive designs, and will introduce new collections every 45 days.

Dilip Gaur, Director of Novel Jewels, emphasized Indriya’s commitment to redefining standards in creativity, scale, and customer experience. “Indriya aims to set new benchmarks in the jewellery sector with a focus on exceptional product quality and customer service,” he said.

Sandeep Kohli, CEO of Novel Jewels, highlighted the brand’s unique proposition, noting that jewellery is transitioning from a mere investment to a form of personal expression. Indriya will offer an innovative Signature Experience, featuring exclusive lounges, personalized services with in-store stylists, and expert jewellery consultants to enhance the shopping journey. The brand’s digital and physical platforms will ensure a seamless customer experience.

The name ‘Indriya,’ derived from Sanskrit, symbolizes the five senses and reflects India’s rich cultural heritage. The brand’s insignia, a Female Gazelle, represents elegance and empowerment, aligning with Indriya’s mission to create jewellery that celebrates and elevates the wearer.

With this new venture, the Aditya Birla Group aims to transform the jewellery retail landscape in India, catering to the increasing demand for branded jewellery and the expanding formal market. Indriya is poised to become a key player in the Indian jewellery sector, offering distinctive designs and unparalleled customer experiences.
