India is the second largest consumer market for gold and jewellery, where an estimated 300 million people buy gold and other jewellery every year. Within this market, approximately 20% of all jewellery sales are achieved through investment schemes run by various jewellers across the country.
However, the jewellery savings market is yet to be digitalised, and involves challenges in the form of lack of aggregation, exorbitant hidden jewellery making charges (15%-30%), and others, which do not support the idea of jewellery as an investment. Despite gold and jewellery being the biggest asset class, the entire journey for the consumer is offline.
Providing a disruptive solution in the jewellery savings market, Plus lets users save, discover 1000s of jewellers, and purchase their dream jewellery, all on a single app.
