Coffee with Dr. Chetan Kumar Mehta In conversation with Kirit Bhansali
Dr. Chetan Kumar Mehta, was at his skillful best as he got under the skin of GJEPC Chairman Kirit Bhansali. The insights from this interaction are not just words; they are guiding principles that resonate deeply with the soul of our industry and the aspirations of humanity.
Unity: The Foundation of Strength
Kiritbhai emphasized a truth that is both simple and transformative: “The need of the hour is to be united.” In our industry, there is no division between diamonds, gold, silver, or gemstones—we are one united gem and jewelry family. Let us embrace this unity as our strength. Together, we can overcome challenges, innovate, and elevate the global stature of our industry. Unity is not just a strategy; it is the heart of progress.
Success Through Integrity
Success is not an accident—it is earned through hard work, honesty, and surrounding oneself with pure-minded individuals. Kiritbhai’s words remind us that integrity is the cornerstone of greatness. Let us strive to build relationships rooted in trust and collaboration, for it is in such partnerships that true success flourishes.
Gratitude and Service
In a world often consumed by competition, Kiritbhai offers a refreshing perspective: “Accept what the Almighty has provided you; don’t envy others’ success.” Instead of comparison, let us focus on contribution—on how we can serve others and humanity as a whole. Gratitude opens doors to fulfillment, while service creates lasting impact. Let us ask ourselves daily: How can I use my talents to uplift others?
Resources for Collective Welfare
The resources we possess—be they financial or political—are not merely tools for personal gain. They are gifts entrusted to us to benefit society and our industry. Kiritbhai urges us to channel these resources toward meaningful causes that create value for others. Imagine the transformation we can achieve when our collective efforts are directed toward progress rather than self-interest.
Resilience in Adversity
Life will always present adversities and challenges. But within every challenge lies an opportunity waiting to be discovered. Kiritbhai inspires us to look beyond obstacles and seek new avenues for growth. Resilience is not just about enduring hardships; it is about thriving amidst them by embracing change and innovation.
Energy Follows Intention
Finally, Kiritbhai leaves us with his personal mantra: “Energy follows intention.” This simple yet profound truth reminds us that our focus determines our reality. When we set clear intentions aligned with purpose and positivity, the energy required to achieve them naturally flows toward us. Let us harness this principle to manifest our dreams for a brighter future.
A Call to Action
As we reflect on these gems of wisdom, let us commit ourselves to embodying these values in our personal lives and professional endeavors:
- Unite as one industry.
- Pursue success with integrity.
- Serve others with gratitude.
- Use resources for collective welfare.
- Embrace resilience in adversity.
- Set powerful intentions that guide our energy.

The Season’s Haute Pick: Rahul Desai Brings Luxury Learning On The Go With Loupe Insight Season 4
As luxury and premium Jewellery become increasingly important growth categories, the industry is also confronting a fundamental question, What does luxury truly mean today?
Is it an expensive product? A beautiful store? Highly personalized attention? Or an experience that customers cannot find elsewhere?
Addressing these questions, jewellery industry mentor, coach, and business strategist Rahul Desai has announced the fourth season of his podcast, Loupe Insight. Titled The New Code of Luxury Jewellery, the season brings focused luxury education to professionals on the go, translating an often abstract subject into practical sessions for the jewellery industry.
Today, the terms premium, luxury and ultra-premium are frequently used interchangeably. At the same time, many experiences positioned as luxury are simply examples of good service. This lack of clarity can influence everything from store design, merchandise selection and pricing to communication and customer engagement.
Through the new season, Rahul aims to help jewellers understand these distinctions and build a more relevant approach to luxury.
Rahul Desai, CEO & MD of IIG, and Founder of RD consultancy Said:

“Luxury is becoming a game changer for jewellery businesses, but the word itself is often misunderstood. A larger store, a more expensive collection or better hospitality does not automatically create a luxury brand. Luxury begins when every element, from the product and environment to the conversation and after-sales relationship, delivers a distinct sense of value”
Across the season, Rahul examines how the meaning of luxury is changing from distant aspiration to greater emotional and lifestyle relevance. The episodes explore subjects such as the difference between premium and luxury, the role of experience in creating perceived value, changing customer expectations, personalization, exclusivity and the new codes influencing modern jewellery retail.
The fourth season of Loupe Insight is supported by Sanghi Jewellers, Finestar Diamonds, Polygon, Jwero.ai and Svar, bringing together respected names from across the jewellery industry to support accessible, future-focused learning for the sector.
The season also challenges the belief that luxury is created only through elaborate interiors, chandeliers or champagne. Instead, it asks jewellers to look more closely at the complete customer journey: how a client is welcomed, how a jewel is introduced, how confidently its value is communicated and how the relationship continues after the purchase.
Designed as short, focused episodes, Loupe Insight makes these conversations accessible to business owners, retailers, manufacturers, designers, sales professionals and students. The “luxury on the go” format allows industry professionals to engage with important business ideas while traveling, working or moving through their day.
Drawing on more than 25 years of experience in jewellery education, retail strategy and industry mentoring, Desai brings together global luxury thinking and the realities of operating within India’s relationship-driven jewellery market.
Loupe Insight Season 4: The New Code of Luxury Jewellery continues the podcast’s larger purpose: helping the industry look beyond products and understand the forces shaping the future of jewellery business.
The new season will be available across Loupe Insight’s digital and podcast platforms.
