Your career path

I did my B. Tech in Mechanical Sciences and started working in the family business of steel manufacturing and wheat flour milling. In 2010, we thought of starting a retail jewellery showroom. After doing courses from GIA and IGI, I travelled all over India, meeting jewellery manufacturers and wholesalers, and also visited a lot of retail jewellery stores. We finally opened the showroom in 2012. After 11 years, I feel humbled and grateful to earn the trust and satisfaction of over two lakh customers
