AWDC launches Know Your Customer Portal application

Published

on

Antwerp World Diamond Centre (AWDC) announced the launch of the KYCP (Know Your Customer Portal) application, designed to automate the screening of customers and transactions.

New KYCP platform

  • The Antwerp World Diamond Centre (AWDC) has unveiled KYCP – a Know Your Customer Portal that automates customer and transaction screening for diamantaires.​
  • Offered free of charge, the tool is tailored to help dealers comply with Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) rules with far less manual paperwork.​

How it changes compliance

  • KYCP replaces scattered, spreadsheet-based checks with a single platform that centralizes KYC files, runs faster and more accurate screenings, and triggers real-time alerts on suspicious activity.​
  • It also streamlines regulatory reporting, easing a burden that has weighed especially heavily on small and family-run trading firms.​

Scale and strategic impact

  • AWDC invested about EUR 250,000 in developing KYCP and is making it available to the 1,470 Antwerp diamond companies it represents at no cost.​
  • By introducing the first collective digital compliance solution of its kind in Belgium, Antwerp’s diamond sector positions itself as a frontrunner among non-financial industries on transparency and AML/KYC compliance.​

Sky Gold & Diamonds Ltd, one of India’s fast-growing jewellery manufacturers, has been added to the MSCI India Domestic Small Cap Index, as part of the latest index review announced by MSCI.

The inclusion marks an important milestone for Sky Gold, reflecting the company’s growing presence and relevance within India’s listed small-cap universe.

A key development during the current quarter has been the company turning operating cash flow positive, marking an important step in improving working capital discipline and strengthening the quality of its growth. The company remains focused on balancing business expansion with profitability and cash flow generation.

Sky Gold is simultaneously strengthening its governance and management framework, with a structured leadership approach, robust and strengthened financial and governance processes, including engagement with a large global accounting firm.

Operationally, Sky Gold continues to focus on lightweight and value-added jewellery, while expanding its customer base and strengthening its presence across organised jewellery retail. Its asset-light manufacturing model remains central to its strategy of scaling capacity while maintaining capital efficiency.

Commenting on the development, Mr. Mangesh Chauhan, Managing Director, Sky Gold and Diamonds Limited, said:

“Our inclusion in the MSCI India Domestic Small Cap Index is an important recognition of our growth journey over the years from building scale to building a stronger, more disciplined and institution-ready organisation. As we move forward, our focus is on a sustainable business—one that grows profitably, converts growth into cash, deploys capital efficiently and continues to strengthen the systems and governance required to operate at a much larger scale”.

With Sky Gold 3.0, we are building the organisation for this next phase of growth with greater financial discipline, deeper customer relationships and a stronger scalable operating model. We believe this inclusion will further broaden Sky Gold’s visibility within the institutional investment community and reinforce our commitment to creating long-term value for our stakeholders.”
