GIA CEO PRITESH PATEL HOLDS INTERACTION WITH GJEPC IN MUMBAI
Industry Leaders Discuss Certification Costs, Small Diamond Pricing Pressures and Technology-Led Efficiency to Protect Market Transparency
Pritesh Patel, Group President and CEO of GIA, visited the GJEPC Head Office in Mumbai on 16 December for an in-depth interaction with industry leadership on current market challenges and the evolving role of certification. He was accompanied by Amit Pratihari, Managing Director, GIA India Laboratory Pvt. Ltd.
Pritesh Patel was welcomed by Russell Mehta, Co-Convener, Diamond Panel, GJEPC; Ashish Mehta, Co-opted Member, Diamond Panel, GJEPС; Sabyasachi Ray, Executive Director, GJEPC; and Dolly Choudhary, Director, PMBD, GJEPC.
Discussions centred on diamond pricing dynamics, particularly in small sizes, and the resulting pressure on certification economics. GJEPC members highlighted concerns that high certification costs could push more goods into uncertified parcel trade.
Pritesh Patel acknowledged the challenges and outlined GIA’s ongoing efforts in automation, technology investment and process optimisation to improve efficiency while maintaining global standards. Both sides stressed that affordable, widely adopted certification remains essential to safeguarding transparency, consumer confidence and the long-term health of the natural diamond industry.
