Indriya pushes to 100 stores, bets on diamonds to crack India's top-three jewellery club

Key facts
- 82 stores
- 100 stores

What to watch
- ABG H1 FY26 results: Indriya revenue and SSSG numbers
- Tanishq's counter-move on in-store diamond certification tech
- Gold price above ₹80,000/10g sustained — shifts mix to diamonds, helps Indriya
- Kalyan Jewellers' north/west India store adds — direct overlap with Indriya catchments
- Any Indriya private label or D2C diamond line announcement
- Wedding season Oct-Feb footfall data from mall operators
- Track Indriya's same-store-sales disclosure in ABG quarterly — the real tell vs store count vanity
- Watch for a celebrity/bridal campaign tied to SparkleScope in Q3 wedding season
- Expect a digital/omnichannel announcement — pure offline can't hit top-3 economics
- Monitor poaching of senior talent from Tanishq/Kalyan into Indriya leadership
- Look for a lab-grown diamond sub-brand launch within 12 months
