The secured funds will help the startup in expanding its team, grow its customer base and revenue in addition to help launch new products to markets and invest in its technology platform.
Founded in March 2014 by Rebekkah Kumar, Fourseven, is a jewellery brand that offers uniquely crafted jewellery made exclusively for Indian women.

At present, the company is concentrating on selling premium jewellery under the Fourseven brand. It uses an omni-channel model that combines both online marketplace channels and strategic offline retail stores.
Recently, the company opened its business and design centre in Gurgaon. In the future, it is planning to venture into men’s fashion. It recently held a preview of its upcoming men’s clothing line.
