Melorra will be using the funds for technological innovations, product innovations, and brand marketing.
 
The brand has witnessed growth, despite the Covid-19 restrictions, and expects to clock pre-Covid level revenues in the coming months.

Commenting on the funding, Saroja Yeramilli, founder and CEO of Melorra, in a statement said: “We are happy to raise this round of funding, and with the investor trust in our capabilities. Melorra is operating at positive unit economics and rapidly regaining its pre-Covid level revenues. Although raising capital has been tough in the market, funding in this period has re-established the investor’s belief in the business model and team.”
 
Anil Thadani, chairman of Symphony Asia, added: “We are impressed with the work of Saroja Yeramilli and her team at Melorra in creating a differentiated business model for the jewellery sector in India. Melorra has seen strong growth over the past few years, by bringing fast-fashion jewellery to the millennial woman. We look forward to supporting the next phase of growth and expansion.”
 
Melorra had recorded a year-on-year growth of 400 percent in FY2019, and is one of the fastest-growing lightweight jewellery brands in the country. It sells contemporary lightweight jewellery in gold, diamond, and coloured stones.
