Gurgaon-based Fortuna Retail Pvt Ltd, the company behind GemPundit.com, an online store for gemstones, has raised an undisclosed amount in seed funding from a group of individuals, including Anand Kumar, partner of Mumbai-based law firm Sand Hill Counsel, according to a VCCircle report.
Â
The funds will be used to expand its team and revamp the company, GemPundit’s CEO Nitin Yadav told VCCircle.
Â
"We added seven people to our team last month, and we are now looking to add another eight next month," said Yadav.
Â
The startup was founded in August last year by Yadav, a serial entrepreneur with experiences in online marketing and e-commerce operations. Prior to starting Fortuna, he had also co-founded a few firms, including Atoot.com and LoveArranged.in.

GemPundit.com sells loose gemstones and coloured gemstone jewellery across 40 different categories. These include sapphires, emeralds, rubies and natural pearl, besides semi-precious stones like amethyst, topaz, malachite and lapis Lazuli.
