Chandigarh: Leading omni-channel jewellery retailer BlueStone Jewellery is preparing to hit the public markets with an Initial Public Offering (IPO), joining the growing list of consumer-focused brands tapping into capital markets for expansion. The company is expected to file its Draft Red Herring Prospectus (DRHP) with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) soon.
According to industry sources, the IPO is likely to be a combination of fresh issue and offer-for-sale (OFS), with the company aiming to raise approximately ₹1,500 to ₹2,000 crore. The proceeds from the IPO will primarily be used for retail expansion, brand building, and technological investments to strengthen its digital and physical presence.
Company Background
Founded in 2011, BlueStone has emerged as one of India’s fastest-growing jewellery brands. It pioneered the omnichannel jewellery retail model, offering customers the flexibility to shop online or visit one of its experience centers located across major metros and Tier-1 cities.
The company offers a wide range of fine jewellery including rings, earrings, pendants, necklaces, bangles, and customised designs, catering to modern, design-conscious consumers. BlueStone claims to offer more than 8,000 unique designs, with a strong focus on personalization and quality.
Backed by Strong Investors
BlueStone is backed by marquee investors including Ratan Tata, Accel, Kalaari Capital, IvyCap Ventures, and Hero Enterprises. According to market estimates, these early-stage investors are expected to partially exit or dilute their holdings via the OFS component of the IPO.
The company last raised funding in 2023 at a valuation of around ₹3,500 crore, and the IPO is expected to push that valuation significantly higher, depending on investor sentiment and market conditions.
Financial Performance and Growth Strategy
In recent years, BlueStone has witnessed robust growth, both in terms of revenue and retail footprint. For FY25, the company reportedly crossed the ₹1,000 crore revenue milestone, driven by rising demand in urban markets and increased wedding and festive jewellery sales.
The company plans to use IPO proceeds to:
-
Open 100+ new stores over the next 2-3 years
-
Enhance digital infrastructure and customer experience tools
-
Invest in manufacturing and inventory capabilities
-
Strengthen brand visibility across online and offline platforms
In a statement, a company spokesperson said, “We are excited to begin the next phase of our journey as we look to become a household jewellery brand across India. The IPO will enable us to scale faster, innovate deeper, and connect with a broader customer base.”
Industry Context
The Indian jewellery market, traditionally dominated by family-run goldsmiths and regional players, is undergoing a transformation with the rise of organised retail. Players like Titan’s Tanishq, Kalyan Jewellers, Senco Gold, and CaratLane are competing in a high-growth, brand-driven environment.
With changing consumer preferences, higher disposable income, and increasing digitisation, omnichannel brands like BlueStone are well positioned to capture the aspirations of new-age jewellery buyers.
IPO Outlook
Market analysts believe that BlueStone’s IPO will attract interest from both institutional and retail investors, given its:
-
Strong brand equity in urban and digital-first segments
-
Backing from reputed venture capital firms
-
Growth potential in the underpenetrated organised jewellery segment
-
Omni-channel scalability and tech-driven approach
If the IPO receives regulatory clearance as expected, it could hit the markets in late 2025 or early 2026.
