LOS ANGELES, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 04/21/11 -- Melrose Jewelers today announced its significant revenue growth in 2011 under leadership of recent University of Southern California MBA graduate Krishan Agarwal.
Los Angeles local, Krishan Agarwal began his successful online retail store, MelroseJewelers.com, originally as a hobby to help fund his education while completing his MBA at the University of Southern California. He saw an untapped area of the luxury market to provide the finest timepieces at affordable prices to consumers and immediately began to research and network to launch one of the most successful online retailers of its kind.
Since the company's inception in 2004, Krishan has single handedly grown the company to over 70 full time employees, opened offices in 4 countries, and surpassed enormous obstacles during the second worst economy in history to increase revenues by 212% since 2008. In addition to MelroseJewelers.com, Mr. Agarwal also manages Lakshmi Capital Partners, a long/short equity hedge fund based in Los Angeles. Through this platform he has spearheaded venture capital investments including Sangart, LLC, a synthetic blood manufacturer with products in Phase III testing, Tocagen, LLC, a leading cancer therapeutic company with products in Phase II testing, and Withoutabox, LLC, an online film distribution service which was acquired by Amazon.com in 2008.
Krishan can attribute his success and business savvy to his prestigious educational background with the University of Southern California. Here he obtained a Masters in Business Administration with a concentration in Investment Management and a Bachelors of Arts with Artificial Intelligence from the University of California, San Diego. While still attending college at the age of 22, Krishan founded ISN, an online investment community later acquired by the Jump Financial Network, where he served as the President. Because of his astute business acumen, Mr. Agarwal has been profiled on CNBC's CNetNews.com television show and won the 40 Under 40 San Diego entrepreneurs award.
Mr. Agarwal remains an active USC alumnus and donor, as well as an active member of The Indus Entrepreneurs Association, and a part of the USC Marshall's TEC Executive Committee.
