The event, which was attended by prominent industry leaders and luminaries, received an overwhelming outpouring of support and enthusiasm, further solidifying GSI’s role as a technology and research-driven lab in the global diamond jewellery and gemstone sector.
The opening of this cutting-edge facility is a natural progression in GSI’s ongoing mission to bridge the gaps in the industry and offer GSI reports based on technology, innovation and precision. “At GSI, we are much more than just a gemological laboratory; we are a full-scale solutions provider. In every step of the way, we are focused on bridging gaps in the jewellery industry, whether it’s ensuring standardised grading offering comprehensive reports, or finding innovative digital ways to empower retailers,” said Ramit Kapur, Managing Director, GSI. “This new lab is a part of our ongoing commitment to support the jewellery sector with cutting-edge technology and unmatched expertise which will enable retailers to differentiate themselves from their competition.”
“Kolkata’s market is uniquely dynamic, and we are here to make sure that everyone, from manufacturers to retailers, can rely on GSI for the highest standards of gemstone and diamond jewellery certification for their purchases and sales,” he added.
Stalwarts of the jewellery industry, Pankaj Parekh (Regional Chairman East-GJEPC), Suvro Chandra (Jt. MD- P.C Chandra Jewellers), Ashok Bengani (President- Calcutta Jewellers welfare & Ankurhati Associations), Amit Soni (COA member- GJC), along with respected leading jewellers of the city, launched the GSI lab open and welcomed GSI’s commitment to bring years of expertise and technology-backed certification to Kolkata and the east zone.
