National Award-winning actor Kriti Sanon has joined GIVA as both brand ambassador and strategic investor. The partnership will involve her input on collection design, brand-building, and consumer engagement. GIVA, founded in 2019, has grown into a leading omnichannel jewellery brand with over 300 stores. The brand recently raised ₹530 crore in Series C funding to fuel expansion into new categories.

Kriti Sanon Joins GIVA as Investor and Brand Ambassador

Bengaluru, May 25

GIVA, India's leading fine jewellery brand, on Monday announced National Award-winning actor and entrepreneur Kriti Sanon as both Brand Ambassador and Strategic Investor, marking a significant milestone in the company's growth journey.

The announcement builds on GIVA's recent campaign launch with Kriti Sanon, Style, Sealed in Silver, signalling a deeper long-term association between the actor and the brand. Beyond capital, Kriti's association with GIVA will extend across brand-building, collection design inputs, and consumer engagement, leveraging her strong understanding of fashion, culture, and aspirational young audiences as the brand enters its next phase of growth.

According to the company, the brand is increasingly focused on a new generation of consumers who view jewellery as an extension of personal style, aspirational, design-led, and made for everyday expression rather than just occasions.

Over the last six years, GIVA has emerged as one of India's fastest-growing omnichannel jewellery brands, with a rapidly expanding footprint across silver jewellery, gold, and lab-grown diamonds. Today, the brand operates over 300+ stores across the country and Sri Lanka and has built a strong connection with young Indian consumers looking for jewellery that feels personal, expressive, and worn beyond occasion.

Founded in 2019 by Ishendra Agarwal and Nikita Prasad, GIVA entered the market with a clear thesis that India lacked a strong, organised player in the everyday fine silver jewellery category. At a time when silver jewellery remained fragmented and largely occasion-led, GIVA built a design-forward brand focused on young consumers seeking authentic, accessible jewellery they could wear every day.

Speaking on the announcement, Ishendra Agarwal, Founder, GIVA, said, "Kriti joining GIVA as both ambassador and investor marks a strategic milestone for the brand. She strongly resonates with the new generation of consumers confident, expressive, and deeply individualistic that GIVA is building for. Her investment reflects a shared belief in our long-term vision and the future of design-led fine jewellery in India. Over the years, GIVA has built a strong emotional connection with consumers, and we are excited to have Kriti partner with us as we enter our next phase of growth."

Speaking about the partnership, Kriti Sanon said, "What drew me to GIVA was never just the jewellery, it was the conviction behind the brand. From the very beginning, GIVA understood something that many miss: that young India doesn't want to be dressed, they want to express. And GIVA has built a language for that. By the time we started discussing a partnership, I already believed deeply in the vision. I've watched this brand earn real trust, real love, and I wanted to be part of what comes next. And as an investor, I'm here to help shape what it becomes, bringing my instincts around fashion, storytelling, and design to a brand I genuinely believe in."

Kriti's strategic investment comes on the heels of GIVA's ₹530 crore Series C round led by Creaegis, with participation from Premji Invest, Epiq Capital, and Edelweiss Discovery Fund capital being deployed towards retail expansion, technology, supply chain strengthening, and growth in newer categories including lab-grown diamonds.

With design, distribution, and now a deeper creative partnership at its core, GIVA is building towards becoming the defining fine jewellery brand for a new generation of Indian consumers.

Love how GIVA is changing the jewellery game. Finally, silver that you can wear to office or brunch without feeling overdressed. And Kriti fits perfectly with their vibe – she's modern, confident, and owns her style. Would be interesting to see what collection she designs! 🌟

I get why they chose Kriti – she's got that 'girl next door with a twist' appeal. But let's be honest, at ₹530 crore valuation, celebrities investing is basically marketing dressed as strategy. Hope they use the money to improve quality control. Some of my friends have complained about tarnishing issues.

As someone who's been buying from GIVA since their early days, I'm thrilled! They really understand what young Indian women want – jewellery that's trendy but not too heavy, silver that doesn't burn a hole in your pocket, and packaging that makes you feel special. Kriti is the perfect face for this new chapter. 💫

Good for them, but I wish they'd focus more on men's collection too. As a guy who likes wearing silver chains and rings, options are limited. GIVA has great designs but mostly women-focused. Kriti for women is fine, but maybe a male brand ambassador too? Just saying. 😅

Honestly, I love that Kriti is investing her money, not just her face. Shows she believes in the brand long-term. And their lab-grown diamonds are gorgeous – perfect for my engagement without the guilt of diamond mining. GIVA is really leading the sustainable jewellery movement in India. ❤️
