GJEPC’s Exporter Mentorship Programme 3rd one-week fam batch at IJEX, Dubai
The 3rd batch of the Exporter Mentorship Programme (EMP) organised by GJEPC began its one-week Familiarisation Program (FAM) with a power-packed Day 1, blending expert knowledge with practical exposure.
The Day 1 activities included:
Industry Interaction: The programme opened with an insightful session by Mr. Ajay Pandey, Retail & Branding Expert, who shared lessons from over three decades in the luxury jewellery industry. Having successfully steered 500+ retail formats and launched multiple jewellery brands across global markets, Mr. Pandey offered valuable strategies on driving return on equity (ROE), scaling businesses, and building brand excellence. An interactive Q&A session allowed participants to address real-world business challenges.
Market Tour: Delegates then toured Ithra Hind Plaza, exploring its infrastructure and business potential, followed by a visit to the traditional Gold Centre Building. Acting as mystery shoppers, participants studied pricing dynamics across gold and diamond segments and observed customer behaviour, noting that tourism remains the primary driver of demand in traditional markets.
Retail Hub Visit: The day wrapped up with a cab tour of the New Gold Souq Extension, where participants were introduced to upcoming retail and office opportunities within the larger Ithra project.
With the 3rd batch underway, the initiative continues to provide exporters with immersive learning, industry insights, and on-ground exposure to global jewellery markets.

Bhima Gold Unveils Ashtalakshmi Coin Collection for Akshaya Tritiya, Blending Devotion with Exquisite Design
A culturally rooted, insight-led launch that reimagines festive gold buying through storytelling, symbolism, and spiritual relevance.
In a move that blends cultural storytelling with product innovation, Bhima Gold has unveiled its Ashtalakshmi Coin Collection for Akshaya Tritiya – positioning gold not just as a purchase, but as a deeply symbolic expression of prosperity, faith, and intent.
Timed with one of India’s most significant gold-buying occasions, Akshaya Tritiya, the launch reflects a deeper cultural shift in consumer behaviour. While the festival continues to drive strong purchase intent, there is a growing preference for meaningful, purpose-led buying experiences over purely transactional consumption.
Aligned with this evolving mindset, the Ashtalakshmi coin collection has been thoughtfully conceptualised to blend tradition with deeper symbolism. Inspired by the eight sacred forms of Goddess Lakshmi, each coin represents a distinct dimension of prosperity—from wealth and nourishment to courage, knowledge, and continuity.

By bringing together Adi Lakshmi, Dhana Lakshmi, Dhanya Lakshmi, Gaja Lakshmi, Santana Lakshmi, Veera Lakshmi, Vijaya Lakshmi and Vidya Lakshmi, the collection reframes gold coins from being a generic festive purchase to a story-driven, culturally immersive product experience – one that resonates across generations and belief systems.
This launch also aligns with Bhima Gold’s larger centenary narrative of “Together Purever,” which focuses on legacy, shared traditions, and evolving consumer meaning. The collection becomes an extension of that philosophy – reinforcing how heritage brands are reinterpreting tradition for a more aware and emotionally driven consumer.
Customers can pre-book their favourite jewellery by paying just 10% in advance & get their jewellery on Akshaya Tritiya at the lowest rate, which gives customers more flexibility and helps them plan their purchases with greater confidence, especially at a time when gold prices are high.
Akshaya Tritiya has traditionally been associated with intention, belief, and the aspiration for prosperity, extending beyond a purely transactional act of buying gold. The Ashtalakshmi Coin Collection has been conceptualised to reflect this deeper cultural and spiritual significance, with each coin designed to carry a distinct meaning and sense of purpose. The initiative also aligns with evolving consumer preferences, where there is a noticeable shift towards jewellery that offers emotional, cultural, and spiritual resonance in addition to intrinsic value.
With gold prices near record highs and consumer sentiment becoming more considered, Bhima’s Ashtalakshmi Coin Collection signals a broader shift in the category — from price-led promotions to meaning-led engagement, where design, storytelling, and cultural relevance drive both differentiation and demand.
As legacy brands navigate a new era of conscious consumption, Bhima Gold’s latest offering highlights how tradition can be reimagined as experience, making gold buying not just an act of investment, but an expression of identity and belief.
