Mumbai; December, 2019: Mumbai-based omnichannel jewellery start-up eJOHRI raised $1 million funding in a Pre-Series round. This investment was led by Mr. Rajesh Ranavat together with a group of investors from Hong Kong. eJOHRI is an omni-channel marketplace for gems & jewellery. The investment will help jewellery retailers from over 100 cities in India access consumers across the country as well as overseas using eJOHRI’s digital platform.
“This investment will enable us to ensure better consumer reach and service support for the over 100 existing jewellers on our platform across 100 cities in India and extend this to over 1,000 jewellers in a short period of time. The platform allows customers to choose from over 18,000+ designs from different retailers across the country. The potential of this business is in connecting digitally a large number of the over 300,000 jewellery retailers to meet the varied needs of the consumers who will spend approximately US$ 100 Bn by 2025. Further, there are significant opportunities in unlocking value along the entire supply chain which is currently very fragmented” said Mr. Shailen Mehta, Co-Founder of eJOHRI. 
Mr. Jignesh Mehta, Co-Founder, eJOHRI adds, “We are extremely fortunate to have like-minded investors who are not just funding our growth but are also closely involved with the strategy of the business. This investment reaffirms the marketplace potential of this hitherto unorganized business.”
Mr. Rajesh Ranavat added “We found that every jeweller on the eJOHRI portal has been handpicked to represent India’s specialized craftsmanship to create the most unique designs. A digital marketplace model was severely needed in this market to help small, medium and large jewellers to meet the specific needs of a national and global audience. It has helped the local jeweller suddenly expand their reach to anyone who likes their designs. We are happy to have invested in eJOHRI and are confident of their growth trajectory.”
Some of the most popular jewellery retailers are already on the eJOHRI platform which include PNG Jewellers, Ranka Jewellers, Waman Hari Pethe,  D.P Jewellers, P.C Chandra, PMJ Jewels and IBJA Gold to name a few. eJOHRI is aggressively onboarding jewellers from across India and plans to substantially increase its range of offering in the next 2-3 years.
eJOHRI’s unique omni-channel approach allows customers to “Try & Buy” allowing them to discover online and book appointments with jewellers to visit the store at their convenience  apart from the option of buying online.

by samikha   Mumbai, May, 2024: The scion of Lord Shri Ram's lineage, Darwin Platform Group of Companies (DGPC) Founder and Chairman Ajay Harinath Singh has found himself targeted by unseen forces with vested interests. Retaliating to these ‘unseen forces’ the Darwin Platform Chief emphasized that life threats and malicious campaigns, resulting from political vendetta make him more determined to fight the battle and expose them.  The whispers of a conspiracy began years ago, fueled by jealousy and fear of his growing influence in the 2000s. Coming from a Royal family of Sultanpur (Uttar Pradesh), his popularity in the state and Maharashtra unnerved many political parties that used to govern. Aligned with sacred lineage, his passion for nation-building and Hindutva made him popular among people and the BJP, however, this antagonized Congress and their current allies. Questions are many- Was the Congress party, in its bid to maintain its hold on power, orchestrating a campaign t...
