Jar-powered jewellery brand Nek launches Gold & Silver Rakhis for Raksha Bandhan

5th August, 2024- Mumbai – Nek, the innovative jewellery brand from India’s leading gold savings app Jar, is set to launch a special collection of gold and silver rakhis, celebrating the timeless bond between brothers and sisters this Raksha Bandhan. This new offering perfectly aligns with Jar’s mission of making precious metals accessible to all Indians while honouring cultural traditions.

RAKHI

Raksha Bandhan, a cherished Hindu festival, symbolizes the love and protective relationship between siblings. Traditionally, sisters tie a decorative thread (rakhi) on their brothers’ wrists, receiving a promise of protection in return. Nek’s exquisite rakhis elevate this custom, crafting these symbols of affection from 18kt gold and 925 silver, materials known for their purity and lasting value.

“Our Nek rakhis represent more than just jewellery,” says Nishchay AG, Co-Founder and CEO of Jar. “They’re a manifestation of our commitment to blend tradition with modernity, offering products that have both emotional and intrinsic value.”

The gold rakhis, made with 18kt gold, offer a luxurious option for those who want to make this year’s celebration truly special. The 925 silver rakhis provide a more accessible yet equally meaningful alternative. Both options embody the enduring nature of sibling bonds, designed to last far beyond the festival day itself.

This launch leverages Jar’s existing gold infrastructure, allowing users to seamlessly convert their gold savings into these precious rakhis. It’s a natural extension of Jar’s ecosystem, bridging the gap between digital savings and physical jewellery while deeply resonating with cultural sentiments.

The introduction of these rakhis also aligns with Nek’s broader strategy of creating an inclusive jewellery brand that caters to diverse customer needs. From micro-investments in gold to now offering tangible symbols of familial love, Jar and Nek continue to innovate in making precious metals more accessible and an integral part of Indians’ financial and cultural lives.

This Raksha Bandhan, as siblings across India prepare to celebrate their special bond, Nek’s gold and silver rakhis offer a meaningful way to commemorate the occasion. More than just accessories, these rakhis represent a fusion of tradition, technology, and financial prudence even in gifting during special occasions.

If answered correctly, contestants get the opportunity to use the 2x superpower or Dugnaastra. The superpower enables the contestants to press the buzzer and double the winnings of a particular question of their choice from Q6 to Q10. So, if a contestant chooses to use the superpower at Q9 (INR 1,60,000), and answers correctly, he/she ends up with a bonus amount of 1,60,000 that will be added to their final winning amount. However, they may not use any lifelines while playing the Dugnaastra.

The ‘Super Sawaal’ and subsequent use of the Dugnaastra adds an extra layer of strategy to the gameplay, making it edgy, thrilling, and suspenseful.
