The funding will be utilised to build the brand and scale its retail presence

Bengaluru: Fashion jewellery brand Kushal’s has raised Rs 284 crore in a series B funding round led by Lighthouse India Fund IV AIF, the companies said in a joint press release on Wednesday. The funding will be utilised to build the brand and scale its retail presence.

We are pleased to partner with the Gulechha family in this journey and are very excited about the Company’s future,” said Anshul Jain, managing director at Lighthouse.
