The Business:
We are a premium jewelry brand bridging the gap between heritage South Indian/Telugu craftsmanship and the accessibility of Lab-Grown Diamonds (LGD). We operate across two distinct categories:

1. Modern & Engagement: Everyday wear and engagement rings featuring champagne gold with luxury-grade finishing (comparable to Cartier).

2. Bridal & Traditional: We specialize in high-end, gold-heavy, closed-setting bridal jewelry. By mastering complex craftsmanship in 9K and 14K gold—a segment others avoid due to the technical difficulty of achieving traditional aesthetics at these lower purities—we have made heritage-style bridal sets aspirational yet accessible. Our portfolio includes LGDs, Moissanites, Natural & Lab-Grown Polki, and natural & lab gemstones.

I am an ISB graduate with a background in Business strategy & Product Growth (Google, Uber, high-growth OTT & Micro Drama startups). I have partnered exclusively with a 50+ year legacy manufacturing team, a supplier for many retail brands and the founding family behind Tyaani as well

Pricing Power: We significantly undercut market leaders. While retailers charge ₹40K–₹70K for solitaires used in engagement rings, our pricing is ₹20K–₹30K. For LGDs under 1ct, we maintain a 60%+ gross margin

Craftsmanship: Our ability to execute intricate, closed-setting traditional designs in 9K/14K gold is a technical barrier to entry that competitors currently lack.

Traction: 2 months live, ₹20L revenue, with a growing client base across India and the US.

The Ask: Raising 50L for our first flagship retail experience center. I’m proposing 15% dilution.

It’s 2026 and I am not sure how we are still showing sexual harassment as romantic plots

And my biggest gripe is with ram charan! Janhvi’s role in the movie is so insignificant that irrespective of the plot of their love story, the experience of the movie would be the same

For a role so insignificant and irrelevant, why would you let your perverted director write sexual harassment as a plot? Like what was the need? The movie would be the same even if you show that they were childhood sweethearts or that she fell for him cause he rescued her from harassment

Not only does ram charan insist on touching Janhvi without consent because according to him “neither her father is going to marry her to him nor is she going to fall in love with him, so touching her is the only appropriate thing to do”. He then sneaks into her room at night and actually kisses her.

And when she confronts him about it, he justifies his act by saying that while some express love by giving a flower and some by gifts, his way of expressing his love is by touching her?

The tickets were priced at 600 and the movie had a budget of xx crores because the team knows ram Charan’s face will bring that money back. With that kind of power, there is no question that if you insisted on changing the love track, the director would in a blink of an eye. Especially because her plot is so insignificant.

I really want to ask Ram charan, if some stranger sneaked into klinkara’s room & kissed her without consent, and then said that’s how he expresses his love, by touching her! Will you marry your daughter off to him?

Like WTF! How was the whole cast & crew so tone deaf to not call this bullshit out and let it hit screens

I genuinely hope there’s more noise about this plot and some accountability is taken for normalizing sexual assault. So this doesn’t repeat again

Looking for speak easy clubs, places with old money like where the crowd is controlled and elite
