Indian jewelry manufacturer scaling production and direct-to-consumer channels
Derewala operates a vertically integrated jewelry manufacturing business with 350,000 sq ft of facilities, 20M+ annual piece capacity, and exports to 30+ countries. The current focus is operational tightening—lean manufacturing, Kaizen, automation, and inventory control dominate their active projects, while pain points center on idle time, production costs, and machine efficiency. Their tech stack (SAP, Dynamics 365 Supply Chain, Power BI, QlikView) reflects a mid-market manufacturer optimizing for cost and visibility rather than innovation; hiring velocity is accelerating but concentrated in operations, manufacturing, and data roles, not growth-stage sales.
Derewala manufactures jewelry in gold, silver, brass, and gemstones, serving wholesale and increasingly direct markets across North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. Founded in 1987, the company employs 1,500+ craftspeople, engineers, and designers across five manufacturing units in Jaipur, using casting, CNC, stamping, stone cutting, enameling, and emerging techniques like 3D printing and CAD/CAM. They emphasize sustainable practices—recycled precious metals, lab-grown diamonds, and Kaizen/TQM compliance. Current strategic efforts center on automating production, scaling e-commerce and marketplace channels, and tightening procurement and supply chain processes.
Derewala produces over 20 million pieces annually across five manufacturing units spanning 350,000 square feet, equipped with advanced Italian and German machinery.
Derewala integrates SAP for ERP, Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management, Power BI and QlikView for analytics, alongside production techniques like CAD/CAM, 3D printing, CNC, and stone cutting.
