Oman India Joint Investment Fund II (OIJIF II) announced that it has invested Rs 75 crores in Senco Gold Limited, a pan India jewellery retailer based out of Kolkata.
Senco Gold operates 127 showrooms across the country. In eastern India it is the largest organised jewellery retail player. Senco has been rated as the 2nd most trusted Jewellery brand in India by TRA in their Brand Trust Report 2020.
One of India’s top VC firms, SAIF Partners India IV Limited, has been an investor in the company since 2014. Senco posted consolidated revenues of around Rs 2,675 crores for FY2021.
Speaking on the closure of the transaction, Srinath S, CEO – OIJIF MC said, “We are excited to partner with Senco Gold & Diamonds, a regional champion in the USD 65 billion Indian jewellery market. Senco has a formidable brand presence in its home markets & growing in the rest of the country, and is amongst the best growth and profitability track records within the sector. It figures amongst the few jewellery chains to have successfully established a franchisee showroom network. It is also leveraging e-commerce to build a strong direct-to-consumer (D2C) retail presence for its lightweight and modern jewellery range – Everlite”.
