History
Giva.co was established in 2019 by Ishendra Agarwal, an electrical engineer, along with Nikita Prasad, a jewellery designer and NIFT graduate, and Sachin Shetty, a former investment associate. The founders identified a gap in the Indian market for affordable yet authentic silver jewellery, as existing brands predominantly focused on gold, making luxury jewellery inaccessible to a broader audience​.

Funding
Giva.co has successfully raised several rounds of funding to support its growth. Notably, in January 2022, the company raised $10 million in a Series A round led by Sixth Sense Ventures and A91 Partners, among other investors. This funding was aimed at expanding both online and offline channels and enhancing international presence​.

In July 2023, Giva.co secured ₹270 crore in a Series B round led by Premji Invest, along with returning investors Alteria Capital and A91 Partners. This round included ₹70 crore from secondary sales to facilitate partial exits for early shareholders. The funding was intended to expand the company's offline presence by adding more stores across Tier I and II cities in India​.

Products and Services
Giva.co offers a wide range of silver, gold and lab grown diamond jewellery, including earrings, necklaces, rings, bracelets, and personalised jewellery. The products are designed to cater to modern aesthetics while maintaining affordability. The brand positions itself against traditional gold jewellery brands by providing accessible luxury options.

Awards
GIVA won the Best D2C Brand of the year ( Jewellery - Semi Precious ) Award.
