As the Fashion Entrepreneur Fund (FEF) continues to build a dynamic ecosystem of visionaries and change agents, the addition of Ms. Saloni Jain as an investor marks yet another stride forward.
She joins the league of esteemed industry leaders and cultural icons like Mr. Ravi Jaipuria, Mr. Gaurav Dalmia, Mr. Naveen Jindal, Mr. Vinod Dugar, and Bollywood legends, Mr. Akshay Kumar and Mr. Karan Johar.
Meticulously building an unparalleled collection of luxury, particularly in the realm of jewelry—she’s carved out a distinctive name for herself, reflecting her true essence in the companies she leads. Ms Jain is founder of Vinayak Jewels Foundation and director of Vinayak Products Pvt. Ltd., Vinayak Products Pvt. Ltd. and Innovate Hub Prime Estate LLP.
Born into a legacy of entrepreneurship, Ms. Saloni Jain combined her strong business lineage with a formal management education and has played an integral role in the growth and evolution of Vinayak Jewels over the past two decades. With a deep commitment to craftsmanship, innovation, and excellence, her leadership has helped transform the brand into one of the fastest-growing jewellery manufacturers in the country—crafting timeless pieces in Jaipur for a discerning global clientele.
As Chairperson of JITO Jaipur Chapter, she has championed education, entrepreneurship, and women’s empowerment—impacting over 400 girls through scholarship programs and skill-building initiatives. Through her Vinayak Jewels Foundation, she supports welfare initiatives. Her efforts were recently honored with the ‘Nari Gaurav Samman’.
She has actively engaged with political and civic leaders, including the Mayor of Jaipur, Chief minister of Rajasthan, President of India, alongside several leaders, to discuss and collaborate on initiatives aimed at community development and social welfare.
Now joining hands with FEF’s mission to strengthen India’s fast-growing fashion industry, Saloni Jain brings with her a unique blend of entrepreneurial insight and philanthropic vision to drive meaningful, lasting impact.
Ms. Jain shared, “What drew me to FEF is its powerful vision to empower emerging entrepreneurs and fashion startups. It aligns perfectly with our commitment to the Make in India mission and my personal goal of creating opportunities for youth to realise their dreams. I admire that FEF goes beyond capital—it offers mentorship, guidance, and a strong ecosystem to help reshape and uplift the Indian fashion industry.”
Ms. Jain sees a clear gap in India’s rapidly growing but fragmented fashion industry, valued over ₹125 million. “Emerging talent often lacks access to capital, mentorship, and market connections,” she says. “FEF bridges that gap by combining creativity with business strategy, creating a platform for real growth. I’m excited to be part of this essential movement for the industry’s evolution.”
Talking about the association, Mr. Vagish Pathak, Chairman said, “Ms. Saloni Jain brings a powerful combination of creativity, entrepreneurial acumen, and a genuine commitment to social impact. As an investor, her leadership in luxury jewellery and her drive to foster meaningful change align seamlessly with FEF’s vision.”
