Firefly Diamonds, a lab-grown diamond startup, has raised $3 million in a seed funding round led by WestBridge Capital. The company plans to utilize the funds to expand its retail footprint and invest in research and development for new jewellery collections.
“With this funding, we wish to usher in a new era of Indian luxury that celebrates beauty, individuality, and the art of fine craftsmanship,” said Adit Bhansali, co-founder, Firefly Diamonds.
Currently operating in Mumbai, Pune, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad, Firefly aims to expand to over 20 locations within the next two years. The funding comes at a time when India’s $2.6 billion lab-grown diamond (LGD) market is witnessing increasing competition, with multiple startups raising capital from prominent investors.

A Sustainable and Aspirational Brand
Firefly Diamonds uses cutting-edge technology to create lab-grown diamonds with the same physical, optical, and chemical characteristics as natural diamonds, but with a lower environmental footprint.
Sumir Chadha, co-founder and managing partner at WestBridge Capital, highlighted the rising demand for sustainable jewellery:
“Firefly Diamonds is tapping into this shift with a brand that is both aspirational and accessible. Their approach to design, technology, and ethical sourcing positions them as a leader in this fast-growing space.”
The brand is built on 60 years of family expertise in jewellery manufacturing and design, ensuring exceptional craftsmanship in every piece.
Innovative Customer-Centric Offerings
To enhance customer experience, Firefly Diamonds has launched multiple personalized shopping initiatives, including:
- Firefly Try at Home – A convenient home trial service
- Firefly Sparkle Plan – An instalment-based savings plan for jewellery
- Old Gold Exchange Program – Allowing customers to exchange their old gold for new Firefly pieces
- Firefly Reserve – An exclusive bespoke high jewellery line
- Custom Engagement Rings – Enabling couples to design their rings from scratch
A Rapidly Expanding Market
Firefly’s funding comes as the lab-grown diamond market in India continues to surge. According to Technopak, the market was valued at $2.61 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach $8.31 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 13.73%.
Despite many legacy jewellers in the LGD space, no clear market leader has emerged yet, paving the way for startups like Firefly Diamonds to capture significant market share.
With its strong focus on innovation, sustainability, and expansion, Firefly Diamonds is set to make a lasting impact in India’s evolving jewellery industry.
