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.

The Gem and Jewellery industry in India is expected to reach around $90 Bn by 2018.
