Aukera designs jewellery around lab-grown diamonds and sells through its own experience stores and online shop. The business emphasises stone certification, design and in-person service, supported by buyback and exchange offers.
Lisa Mukhedkar and Kumar Saurabh founded the Bengaluru company in 2023. By July 2026, its store network had expanded from 13 to 35 locations, reaching cities beyond its original Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Delhi NCR markets. That expansion brings the brand closer to customers who want to examine and try jewellery before buying.
