5. About the Company

Deepa Jewellers Limited was incorporated as Deepa Jewellers Private Limited in 2016 and converted into a public limited company in 2025.

The Company is an organized B2B designer, processor and supplier of hallmarked gold jewellery, mainly serving Telangana, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Kerala. It supplies jewellery to retail chains and standalone jewellery stores rather than selling directly to consumers.

Its main products are 22-karat hallmarked gold jewellery, including plain and precious-stone studded jewellery. It also undertakes jewellery job work and trades in silver jewellery, 18K/20K gold jewellery, precious stones and gold bullion.

Manufacturing is largely outsourced to karigars. Deepa Jewellers provides the raw materials and designs, while the karigars manufacture the jewellery for a making charge.

As of July 31, 2026, the Company had:

  • 16 products and 110 SKUs
  • 373 customers, including 47 jewellery retail chains and 326 standalone stores
  • 15 in-house designers
  • No standalone retail stores of its own
