Réia Diamonds, a lab-grown diamond jewellery brand, has raised ₹2 crore in a pre-seed funding round led by Dinesh Talera and family (founders of Mysore Saree Udyog), alongside Venture Catalysts, an early-stage investment platform.
The funds raised will be used to expand its engagement ring and everyday jewellery collections, strengthen its retail and omnichannel presence, and drive product innovation.
Founded in 2023 by Prapanjj S K Kota, Jacob Mathew and Ashwanth Ramesh, Réia Diamonds is a lab-grown diamond jewellery brand. In two years since its inception, the brand has built three profitable stores across Bengaluru, Guwahati, and Coimbatore.
Prapanjj S K Kota, Founder & CEO, Réia Diamonds, said, “This funding allows us to accelerate Réia’s growth, expand our retail presence and distribution, and reach more women across India with our modern, versatile, and ethically crafted jewellery. Engagement rings remain at the heart of our offering, alongside everyday designer pieces designed to celebrate individuality, elegance, and life’s moments. With this support, we can innovate faster, serve our customers better, and make diamond ownership aspirational yet attainable for every woman.”
