GJEPCs Gem & Jewellery Buyer-Seller Meet 2025 commenced with an air of optimism and global camaraderie, setting the stage for fruitful partnerships and meaningful dialogue between Indian manufacturers and international buyers.
The event was inaugurated with a grand unveiling, paving the way for over 40 international buyers to engage in curated one-on-one business meetings with Indian jewellery manufacturers and exporters. The venue buzzed with activity as new connections were forged and long-standing business relationships were rekindled.
Among the notable international buyers. Lisi Fracchia from Spain, visiting India for the first time, expressed her delight at the overwhelming business prospects. Her experience at the BSM not only introduced her to new business avenues but also gave her the opportunity to reconnect with existing suppliers participating in the show.
Cloyette Harris Stoute, representing Alliyette, USA, is also making her maiden visit to India. Her objective of understanding India’s advanced jewellery manufacturing technology and the comprehensive supply chain process was met with great satisfaction.

On the domestic front, Hitesh Thakar, General Manager at Mohit Diamond Pvt. Ltd, reflected on the invaluable insights gained during his meetings. He noted that conversations with buyers revealed their strategic focus on brand expansion, opening up new opportunities for his company to scale their business and adapt to evolving global demand.
Priyank Shah of Walking Tree, participating as a first-time exhibitor, commended the event’s structured format. The carefully filtered buyer group enabled targeted interactions, resulting in serious inquiries from markets such as the USA, Kazakhstan, Brazil, and beyond—particularly for custom-made jewellery.
The first day concluded on a high note, with an atmosphere rich in collaboration and discovery. The meet not only reflected the strength of India’s jewellery sector but also its growing global appeal.

The deal, signed on August 31, 2026, values the transaction at up to ₹209 per share and marks a significant reshaping of India’s organised jewellery retail landscape.The transaction will give GRT sole control of TBZ, including the right to appoint nominee directors.
In a landmark consolidation move, GRT Jewellers is set to take control of Tribhovandas Bhimji Zaveri (TBZ), acquiring a 74.12% promoter stake for up to Rs.1,034 crore. The deal, signed on August 31, 2026, values the transaction at up to ₹209 per share and marks a significant reshaping of India’s organised jewellery retail landscape.
GRT Jewellers (India) Private Limited will acquire the entire stake held by TBZ’s promoter group, including Shrikant Gopaldas Zaveri (50.06%), Bindu Shrikant Zaveri (5.24%), Binaisha Shrikant Zaveri (7.92%), Raashi Shrikant Zaveri (6.85%) and two promoter-group entities holding 2.02% each.
The acquisition will trigger a mandatory open offer for the remaining public shareholding, with GRT set to launch an offer for up to 26% of TBZ’s equity in accordance with applicable SEBI regulations.
The transaction will give GRT sole control of TBZ, including the right to appoint nominee directors. The existing promoter directors—Shrikant Gopaldas Zaveri, Binaisha Shrikant Zaveri and Raashi Shrikant Zaveri—are expected to step down following completion.
For TBZ, one of India’s oldest and most recognised jewellery brands, the deal signals a major transition from promoter-led ownership to strategic control by one of the country’s prominent jewellery players. For GRT, it represents an ambitious expansion of its footprint and a potentially transformative bet on TBZ’s established brand equity, retail network and customer franchise.
The deal could emerge as one of the most significant strategic moves in India’s organised jewellery sector, underscoring the accelerating consolidation of a market where scale, brand strength and retail reach are becoming increasingly decisive.
