ONYA raises ₹5.5 crore pre-seed to expand jewellery stores
Zeropearl VC led the November 2025 financing, joined by six named angel investors.
ONYA announced its pre-seed financing on 26 November 2025 as it sought to expand an offline retail model for lab-grown diamond jewellery. Alongside lead investor Zeropearl VC, the round included Vijay Arishetty, Abhishek Kumar, Shreyans Daga, Rohit Jindal, Amal Mishra and Alkendra Pratap Singh.
Founded by Himani Yadav and Gaurav Choudhary, the business combines contemporary designs with certified lab-grown stones and hallmarked gold. Yadav linked the idea to her own experience choosing a lab-grown engagement ring and seeing how many buyers found traditional jewellery unaffordable.
The company reported four Bengaluru stores within its first 11 months. That initial footprint gave it a physical base for a strategy centred on customers seeing and trying pieces before purchasing.
