GIVA plans to use the funds for expansion across India and to enable strategic investor exits, the company said in a statement.
The round facilitated partial exits for early investors A91 Partners and India Quotient.
“Our focus remains steadfast on holding our position as the number one silver jewelry player in the market, while further fortifying our lab-grown diamond segment,” GIVA Founder and CEO Ishendra Agarwal said.
The company also aims to broaden its gold offerings and consolidate its market presence, Agarwal added.
GIVA did not disclose the new valuation or the size of the stakes sold by existing investors.
