Intech Research Group Joins FasterCapital Program to Revolutionize Hedging Options for Multiple Business Segments
Mumbai, India & Dubai, UAE – June 10, 2025
Intech Research Group, an innovator in proprietary hedge option products for the jewelry industry, today announced a strategic partnership with FasterCapital through its LaunchUp program. This collaboration aims to accelerate Intech Research Group’s global rollout of its IP-protected Tradable Diamond Investment Rights (TDIRs) platform, targeting key markets including the USA, Middle East, and India. Leveraging FasterCapital’s global reach and expertise, Intech Research Group is positioned to transform how jewelers and consumers manage diamond value erosion while unlocking new revenue streams.
Addressing a $356 Billion Jewelry Market Challenge
The global jewelry industry, valued at over USD 356 billion in 2023, faces persistent challenges of diamond value erosion and declining sales, particularly due to lab-grown diamonds (LGDs). With over 500,000 jewelers worldwide—including 1,288 in the UAE and 10,000 across the Middle East—there is a pressing need for innovative financial instruments that stabilize asset value and boost consumer confidence. Intech Research Group’s TDIRs provide a unique, legally compliant, blockchain-backed solution that enables jewelers to offer “no-loss buyback” guarantees, enhancing customer loyalty and stimulating demand for new designs in a highly competitive market.
Innovative Solution with Tangible Benefits
Intech Research Group’s core offering, the TDIR platform, integrates IP-protected, freely tradable diamond rights linked to standard gold rates, secured on a private blockchain. This proprietary system empowers jewelers to generate non-debt funding while offering customers tradable rights that hedge against value erosion. Key features include a lifetime license TDIR app, market maker support from household investors, and a customized portal enabling seamless buyback and trading within weeks of launch. Early engagement with jewelers and government agencies in India and the Middle East has yielded positive validation, underscoring the platform’s disruptive potential in stabilizing diamond prices and reviving pure diamond demand.
FasterCapital Partnership Accelerates Market Entry
Through the LaunchUp program, FasterCapital provides Intech Research Group with critical resources including strategic mentorship, capital-raising support, and access to a global investor network. FasterCapital’s rigorous selection process ensures only high-potential startups join its portfolio, validating Intech Research Group’s innovative business model and market fit. The partnership will expedite platform completion, marketing campaigns managed by digital marketing experts, and rapid onboarding of jewelers to the portal, targeting a launch within weeks post-funding. This collaboration is set to significantly shorten Intech Research Group’s time-to-market and scale its presence across key international markets.
