The consultancy supports businesses transitioning across models, from B2C to B2B or D2C, and even into e-commerce, with strategies tailored to today’s dynamic consumer and trade landscapes
Mumbai: Rahul Desai, MD & CEO of the International Institute of Gemology (IIG), has announced the launch of RD Consultancy, a dedicated jewellery business growth consultancy. With a specialized focus on product planning, people management, brand pulse and placement strategy; RD Consultancy is positioned as a holistic partner for jewellery businesses looking to evolve, scale and lead in an increasingly competitive landscape. This new venture marks a significant evolution in his multifaceted career as a strategist, educator and trusted advisor within the industry.
“The timing of this launch holds personal significance; it also marks the 7th anniversary of IIG’s rebranding back in 2018. That moment was a defining shift, and today represents yet another milestone in the journey of purposeful transformation,” remarked Rahul Desai, MD & CEO, International Institute of Gemology (IIG).
With more than two decades of experience spanning manufacturing, retail, branding and digital integration, Desai has played a pivotal role in elevating both B2B and B2C jewellery enterprises. Through RD Consultancy, he now brings this depth of experience into a formal structure designed to guide businesses through scalable transformation. The consultancy is built on a singular promise: to help jewellery brands move from vision to execution with strategic clarity and operational precision.
“In my experience, many entrepreneurs have the ambition and potential, but they often lack the framework to convert that into sustained success. RD Consultancy offers that missing blueprint. Whether it’s about building from scratch, navigating a market shift, or unlocking the next level of growth, we help bridge the gap,” Desai explained. The consultancy also supports businesses transitioning across models, from B2C to B2B or D2C, and even into e-commerce, with strategies tailored to today’s dynamic consumer and trade landscapes.
According to Desai, rather than offering off-the-shelf solutions, RD Consultancy approaches each project with a bespoke customized strategy. From recalibrating growth plans to streamlining teams and operations, from re-imagining merchandise assortments to building compelling brand narratives, the focus remains on long-term value creation. It aims to provide solutions that are insight-driven and outcome-oriented.
