From Humble Beginnings
to Market Leaders
Our journey to become the leading tableware manufacturer began with a simple but game-changing idea from our founder and Chairman Mr Sushil Jhunjhunwala. The idea of re-imagining and celebrating dining in all Indian homes with Opal Glass Tableware. He pioneered the concept of Opal Glass in India, and in the year 1988 launched La Opala, arguably the most popular brand of Tableware in the Country. Its unique designs, perfect finish, & sophistication at its best, made La Opala not only an instant success but also, aspirational, yet affordable amongst the Indian households.
Overwhelmed by its success, we stepped into the glittering world of Crystals and in the year 1995 we launched Solitaire Crystal, the first handmade crystal glass ware in the Country. Today we are proud to be the leading exporters of Crystal to over 30 Countries across the Globe. Today, La Opala is listed at National Stock Exchange and Bombay Stock Exchange, having a market capitalisation of Rs 4000 Cr (as on 30th August 2022) Through its state-of-the-art technologies and innovations, La Opala continues to be the market leader in India and has gained popularity not only in India, but in more than 30 Countries across the Globe. Our innumerable achievements and accolades over many decades speak for themselves.
