Now Buy Silver Jewellery Online With Evolve925!

Thursday August 02, 2012 , 3 min Read

The ecommerce platform has experienced some of the biggest changes and surprises the startup ecosystem has seen. We have seen a lot of entrepreneurs coming with niche products to be sold online. Evolve925 is a special case. A veteran player in the market for silver jewellery has come up with an ecommerce portal. The term 925 in the name refers to purity - 92.5% of silver. Evolve925 specializes in Designer and Custom made 92.5 Sterling Silver jewellery and accessories.

Evolve925 is a case of a family run business launching an ecommerce portal. Lalith Bafna, Founder, takes care of everything currently. He always wanted to expand the business and get into e-commerce. After working for a year at Ernst and young, he completed his MBA from Alliance University, Bangalore.

It’s more difficult to work for yourself than working for others. You need to understand your capability, your strengths and weakness. You learn to value each thing you do throughout and always be open for different opportunities for better way of living. You let yourself explore, learn and build a good environment around you being an entrepreneur. You learn to take right decisions, understand the resources and implement them in a right way. Create new concepts, ideas, and learn to face challenges,” says Lalith about the challenges that come with entrepreneurship.

The jewellery industry falls into the T and F (Touch and Feel factor) category. Lalith has discovered that as long as the jewellery is not highly expensive people prefer to buy them online, but for real precious stones and metal like gold, physical stores are preferred. He is betting largely on features like COD that can help to build the trust among people and assist in increasing the reach and satisfaction of his customers.

As a large amount of investment is required in this business, a spell of funding can do wonders for Evlove925, and Lalith can take his business forward and compete with the big players. It can also give a great boost to their plans to come up with physical stores at metropolitan cities like Bangalore, Chennai, Mumbai is on their road map in the future.

Lalith signs off with a really inspiring message for entrepreneurs: “Believe in yourself and take a chance when your heart says so. In the end, you won’t remember your success but the journey you had to reach that success.

After running a successful jewellery business since the 1950s, they have launched Evolve925 as their ecommerce front. Go for the silver!
