Business

Manoj Vaibhav Gems 'N' Jewellers, also known as Vaibhav Jewellers, is a regional jewellery brand in South India. Incorporated in 2003, the company offers a range of gold, silver, and diamond jewellery along with precious gemstones.

The company has a presence in the micromarkets of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana and conducts business via their website and their 13 showrooms, inclusive of two franchisees, spread across eight towns and two cities. The company had a 4% market share of the overall Andhra Pradesh and Telangana jewellery markets and a 10% market share of the organised market in these two states in FY23, according to a Technopak report.

The company caters to all the economic segments of the micromarkets of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana and has a strong rural market and urban focus. In line with the company's beliefs that rural markets have a larger share of the retail jewellery space, 77% of the company's showrooms are in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities than the rural market.

As of FY 2023, gold jewellery accounted for the majority of the company's total revenues at 89.23%, followed by diamonds at 4,06% and silver jewellery at 3.96%.

Risk Factors

  • The non-availability or high cost of quality gold bullion, silver, diamonds, and other precious and semi-precious stones has an impact on the business.

  • All the existing and proposed retail showrooms of the company are present in only two states: Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. Any changes in the political and economic situations in the states could affect business.

  • There are Rs 150 crore worth of pending material litigation proceedings related to the company.

  • Fluctuations in the price of gold, silver, etc. will have a direct impact on the revenue and margins of the company.

  • Except for their flagship showroom, all other retail shops owned by the company are leased properties. The inability to renew or negotiate the leasing agreements will lead to significant disruptions in operations.
