Saroja Yeramilli-led D2C jewellery brand Melorra is stuck in a limbo👇 Publicly listed jewellery giant SENCO Gold is reportedly in the last leg of due diligence before acquiring Melorra in a fire sale for INR 50 Cr. That’s an unfathomable 94% fall from $120 Mn or INR 1,000 Cr, the valuation at which Melorra raised its last round in mid-2022. And it’s not like the jewellery segment is going through a slowdown. Melorra’s rivals are clearly on a different track. Premji Invest-backed GIVA recently raised INR 255 Cr; Gaurav Singh Kushwaha-led BlueStone is close to an IPO and has raised INR 1,000 Cr this year alone, while CaratLane’s acquisition by Tata-owned Titan was one of the biggest acquisition stories in the startup ecosystem. But Melorra seems to have missed the bus. As one investor in the startup told us, “Jewellery is all about retail space and Melorra was quite late to the party.” 🔗To read the in-depth article, click here: https://4-2.co/4fgVS90 #d2c #startup #jewellery
