- अमेरिका स्थित मेजुरी और डेनमार्क स्थित पेंडोरा जैसे उत्कृष्ट आभूषण ब्रांडों के मॉडल पर निर्मित, बैंगलोर स्थित D2C सिल्वर ज्वैलरी स्टार्टअप GIVA ने पिछले साल COVID-19 के बीच बिक्री में 10 गुना की वृद्धि दर्ज की।
- जब इशेंद्र अग्रवाल ने 2019 में उत्कृष्ट आभूषण (fine jewellery) व्यवसाय में प्रवेश किया, तो कुछ शीर्ष ब्रांड जैसे कैरेट लेन, ब्लूस्टोन, मेलोरा और अन्य इस क्षेत्र में काम कर रहे थे। उनमें से ज्यादातर ने कामकाजी महिलाओं को सोने के उत्कृष्ट आभूषण पेश किए, लेकिन कीमत आमतौर पर बहुत अधिक थी।
- इशेंद्र ने 2019 में बैंगलोर स्थित ज्वैलरी ब्रांड GIVA की स्थापना की। वह कहते हैं, “हमने देखा कि पश्चिमी देशों में महिलाएं 9,000-10,000 रुपये की सीमा में आभूषण खरीद सकती हैं। भारतीय महिलाओं को उत्कृष्ट आभूषण पर इतना पैसा क्यों खर्च करना पड़े?”
