GSI collaborates with GJEPC, launches exclusive lab at Bharat Ratnam – Mega CFC building, Mumbai
The Indian gem and jewellery industry is raring to reach a market cap of US $100 billion by 2025. Organising the industry across all hierarchies to attain this objective, every stakeholder is rooting for mandatory certification of not only gemstones but also jewellery. Adding merit to this development, Gemological Science International (GSI) has collaborated with Bharat Ratnam – Mega CFC to set up the sole lab facility for comprehensive jewellery and gemstone certification.
To celebrate this visionary partnership, Bharat Ratnam and GSI jointly organised a soft launch at IIJS Signature 2025. The launch took place at JIO World Convention Centre (JWCC) – Level 3 Pavilion – Launch Pad on the 4th of January, 2025 from 1-1:30 pm. Dignitaries present at the event included Colin Shah – Working Group Member of Bharat Ratnam Mega CFC; Ramit Kapur, Managing Director, GSI India; and Ravi Menon, CEO, Bharat Ratnam Mega CFC. The dignitaries demonstrated the purpose of this association and its longstanding benefits to the jewellers and manufacturers operating at Bharat Ratnam – Mega CFC.
Bharat Ratnam – Mega CFC bridges gaps in India’s jewellery industry by providing cutting-edge Technology, Techniques, and Training. Serving MSMEs, students, brands, and designers, it offers global-standard resources to enhance competitiveness. Located in Seepz, Mumbai, home to the largest jewellery manufacturing cluster, it empowers small units with access to modern technology, R&D, and skilled manpower, ensuring industry growth and global readiness. GSI’s latest state-of-the-art facility will span across a 2000 sq ft space, equipped with the latest technology and equipment for the MSMEs. The facility is located near entry gate no.1 at SEEPZ, Mumbai, with unique access gates to both jewellery manufacturers inside of SEEPZ as well as manufacturers and traders outside of SEEPZ.
Sharing his thoughts on this collaboration, Ramit Kapur, MD, GSI India commented, “Ever since Bharat Ratnam – Mega CFC was launched, new manufacturers and players in gems and jewellery have got a mammoth opportunity to train their workforces and get themselves export-ready. Thanks to GJEPC’s foresight, GSI is honoured to be the only certification lab for Mega-CFC. We hope that with our facilities and service, this association helps each and every stakeholder of Bharat Ratnam – Mega CFC reach their business potential faster than planned.”
