Meerut, India, April 17, 2025: The Indian fast fashion market is flooded with fleeting trends, with jewellery crafted only to be worn a couple of times before it gets damaged. However, there has been a growing demand for long-lasting everyday jewellery that looks good. Jewellery Hat has become a breath of fresh air for the modern Indian woman craving style, quality, and affordability.

These anti-tarnish jewellery pieces are perfect for daily wear as they maintain their shine and appearance without being affected by air or moisture over time. With more than 4.9-star ratings on Google, the brand boasts an impressive rate of repeat purchases, testifying to its craftsmanship in quality and design. 

Celebrities like Masaba Gupta, Tulsi Kumar, Neeti Mohan, Jannat Zubair, Kavita Ghai, and Rupali Jagga have all been spotted in Jewellery Hat’s pieces. At the same time, Gauhar Khan even shared her favorite design on Instagram, giving the brand organic traction that most labels dream of. With no paid ads, Jewellery Hat grows purely through word-of-mouth and social proof, leveraging the power of authentic value.

All of their pieces, whether the popular Snake Necklace or the Big Pearl Stud Earrings, arrive in premium packaging, adding a flavour of luxury to everyday confidence. Stylish, reliable, and endlessly wearable—this is jewellery done right.

Mumbai, April 17, 2025: The Board of Directors of IDFC FIRST Bank, at its meeting held today, approved a preferential issue of equity capital (CCPS) amounting to approximately ₹4,876 crore to Currant Sea Investments B.V., an affiliate company of global growth investor Warburg Pincus LLC and approximately ₹2,624 crore to Platinum Invictus B 2025 RSC Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA) managed by its Private Equities Department. The proposed issues are subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals. 

Over the last six years, IDFC FIRST Bank has undergone a successful transformation from its legacy as an infrastructure-focused DFI to becoming a modern, technology-driven, pan-India, universal bank. In the process, it has made significant investments in distribution, technology, and talent to become a leading private sector bank in India.

During this time, deposits grew 6x, loans and advances doubled, and CASA ratio has significantly improved from 8.7% to 47.7%. PAT rose from a loss of ₹1,944 crore in FY19 to a profit of ₹2,957 crore in FY24. However, profitability dipped in 9M FY25 due to industry wide challenges in microfinance, which the bank has navigated well. With this fund raise, the overall capital adequacy will increase from 16.1% to 18.9%, (CET-1 ratio at ~16.5%, calculated on the capital position of the Bank as of December 31, 2024), strengthening the Bank’s balance sheet and positioning it for strong and self-sustaining profitable growth.

Mr. V Vaidyanathan, Managing Director & CEO, IDFC FIRST Bank: “From day one, we have always built our foundation of the Bank with a long-term vision of building a world class bank in India. We are building a culture of empathy for customers and strive to offer highest levels of customer service. We are technologically advanced and continue to stay cutting-edge. 

The Bank has firmly moved into profits and is now at a pivotal stage, where our income growth is expected to consistently exceed OPEX growth, leading to improved operating leverage. We expect many businesses which are in the investment stage to turn profitable with scale.

It is great to have Warburg Pincus back and to welcome a wholly owned subsidiary of ADIA as our shareholder. We thank them both for believing in us and our future growth plans and for investing in us even under volatile global situations. We believe only by building a strong, respected franchise loved by customers and supported by strong unit economics, we will deliver sustainable long-term returns to our stakeholders.

Vishal Mahadevia, Managing Director, Head of Asia Private Equity, and Global Co-Head of Financial Services, Warburg Pincus, said, “We believe the Indian banking sector presents an exciting opportunity and is poised for long-term growth. At Warburg Pincus, we have a long track record of partnering with exceptional teams. We have known the IDFC First Bank team for over a decade dating back to their early days and have closely seen the build out of the bank. We are excited to re-invest behind the IDFC First Bank team to support them in the next phase of growth and sustainable ROE improvement.

Hamad Shahwan AlDhaheri, Executive Director of the Private Equities Department at ADIA, said, “IDFC First Bank has firmly established itself as one of India’s leading private sector banks, backed by a seasoned management team. It has expanded both its technology and branch infrastructure over number of years and is well positioned for the future. This investment is aimed at supporting the bank’s continued growth, enabling it to meet the rising demand for financial products in the country.
