The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) hosted an E-commerce Export Summit at Bharat Mandapam, Pragati Maidan, on 11th March, gathering industry leaders to explore the growing potential of e-commerce in enhancing retail exports. Mr. Sabyasachi Ray, Executive Director of GJEPC, delivered a keynote presentation on ‘Enhancing Retail Exports through E-commerce.’

In his opening remarks, Mr. Ray emphasized the critical role of e-commerce platforms in driving growth for the gem and jewellery sector. He noted that e-commerce is particularly well-suited to this industry due to the low volume and high value of its products, making it ideal for cross-border trade. He expressed confidence that businesses in the sector will see substantial growth in the near future, driven by the accessibility and scalability of e-commerce.

Mr. Ray also provided insights into recent foreign trade policy reforms introduced by the Government of India. These regulatory changes have significantly eased e-commerce exports, contributing to the sector’s remarkable growth. Currently, India’s gem and jewellery exports total $38 billion, with projections aiming for $100 billion by 2047, largely fueled by the expanding e-commerce landscape.

He advised exporters to focus on identifying key product markets and understanding consumer preferences to secure repeat business. Additionally, he highlighted the recent partnerships formed by the GJEPC with major e-commerce platforms like eBay, Amazon, and DHL, aiming to provide a seamless export experience for its members.

Sukkhi Jewellery, a leading name in fashion jewellery, has launched its newest retail store in Mumbai’s vibrant fashion district of Dadar. This marks the brand’s fourth store in the city, reflecting its continued commitment to meeting the rising demand for affordable, stylish jewellery.

The Dadar launch aligns with Sukkhi’s larger goal of establishing 100 retail touchpoints across India over the next 18–24 months. Known for its robust online presence through platforms like Amazon, Flipkart, Nykaa, Myntra, Naaptol, and Ajio, the brand is now expanding its offline footprint with exclusive stores in Borivali, Lokhandwala, Bandra, and now Dadar.

“Opening our 4th store within four months shows our unwavering commitment towards making fashion jewellery affordable and accessible to all. Mumbai is a cosmopolitan fashion market where families invest in precious jewellery and gold, yet have a distinct flair for fashion jewellery. The brand is steadily working towards growing its offline presence through a phased retail rollout,” said Bhavesh Navlakha, Founder and CEO of Sukkhi.

The new Dadar outlet offers a curated collection of necklaces, chokers, rings, and 925 silver jewellery, blending traditional Indian design with contemporary styles. It features popular collections from Pissara, Studio Sukkhi, Scintillare, and the newly introduced Ayles range, catering to everything from daily wear to festive and bridal occasions.

Sukkhi’s retail expansion comes at a time when India’s fashion jewellery segment is experiencing strong growth. A recent report by Techavio highlights that this momentum is driven largely by millennial women aged 26 to 41—dynamic professionals with increasing disposable income and a desire for versatile, budget-friendly fashion accessories.

With four operational stores in Mumbai, Sukkhi is set to continue its growth across new cities, offering modern consumers greater access to its stylish and affordable jewellery collections.
