Moreover, this financial year has seen the addition of 406 new employees to the Malabar family, highlighting the brand's role in job creation and economic contribution amidst its growth.

Looking beyond the immediate expansion, Malabar Gold & Diamonds has laid out plans for further international growth with the intention to open 60 new showrooms in 2025.
