Hari Krishna Exports Pvt. Ltd. (HK), a globally renowned ethical diamond sourcing company, commemorated its 12-year milestone at The Capital, Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC), Mumbai, with a significant humanitarian initiative—a blood donation drive. This event was not just a celebration of HK’s growth but a reaffirmation of its deep-rooted commitment to social responsibility.

A Legacy Built Over Decades

HK’s journey in Mumbai began in 1994, when the Dholakia brothers—Savji, Tulsi, Himmat, and Ghanshyam—opened their first Mumbai office at Panchatantra, marking a crucial step in expanding their diamond business. As the company grew, so did its presence in the city, moving to Shreeji Chambers in 1997 and later to Prasad Chambers in 2003 to accommodate its rising workforce.

By 2013, HK had firmly established itself as a leader in the diamond industry, opening its prestigious 44,000 sq. ft. office at Bandra Kurla Complex, Mumbai’s financial hub. This expansion showcases the company’s commitment to the relentless pursuit of excellence and innovation.

Celebrating with Purpose

To mark this 12-year milestone at The Capital, HK organised a large-scale blood donation drive, bringing together employees, industry partners, and volunteers. The event, held at the Convention Hall, BKC, Bandra (E), Mumbai, from 10 AM to 6 PM, witnessed an overwhelming response, with 520 units of blood collected, contributing to a cumulative total of 19983 bottles donated over the years.

This remarkable event was graced by our esteemed Mr. Kiritbhai Bhansali Mumbai BJP-Treasurer and Vice Charmen GJEPC, and other notable figures from the Banking and diamond industry were in attendance, lending their support to the cause and recognizing the company’s efforts toward philanthropy and employee well-being.

A Commitment Beyond Diamonds

HK has always prioritised the health and well-being of its employees, ensuring comprehensive health check-ups and wellness programs. The blood donation drive is just one of many initiatives aimed at fostering a culture of care, solidarity, and responsibility.

The event was meticulously organised with the support of experienced medical professionals, ensuring a smooth and safe donation process. Donors were provided with refreshments and tokens of appreciation, symbolising HK’s gratitude for their selfless act.

A Message of Gratitude and Vision for the Future

In a statement  Ghanshyam Dholakia expressed,“We are deeply grateful for the overwhelming participation in our blood donation drive. Over the past 12 years, our journey at The Capital has been made possible by the unwavering dedication of our employees, partners, and customers. This initiative is not just a celebration of our achievements but a testament to our commitment to giving back to society. We look forward to continuing this tradition of care and responsibility for years to come.”

FTA Partner Markets Offer Immense Export Opportunity For Indian Jewellery Sector: DoC

Department of Commerce Organises Focused Outreach To Boost FTA Utilisation in the Gems & Jewellery Sector

Published

on

India’s FTA partner countries collectively import over US$55 billion of jewellery annually; India’s current share of US$8 billion signals a large untapped opportunity.

Exporters urged to leverage preferential market access under India’s FTAs and capture a greater share of global jewellery trade.

The Department of Commerce, Ministry of Commerce & Industry, Government of India today organised a focused outreach programme on “Leveraging FTAs for the Gems & Jewellery Sector” in Jaipur, in partnership with the Gems & Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC). Exporters, manufacturers, MSMEs and other industry stakeholders participated in the programme.

The workshop is part of the Government’s sustained effort to ensure that exporters—particularly MSMEs and cluster-based enterprises—can fully capitalise on market access gains created through India’s new-generation FTAs.

India’s total exports have nearly doubled over the past twelve years, reaching an all-time high of USD 863 billion in FY 2025–26—up from USD 468 billion in FY 2014–15. Merchandise exports stood at USD 442 billion and services exports at USD 421 billion, reflecting the resilience and competitiveness of the Indian economy.

India’s FTAs have grown broader, deeper, and commercially more meaningful in recent years—covering a wider range of products, services, investment, standards, and trade facilitation. Gems & Jewellery has emerged as a leading beneficiary sector under these agreements.

FTA partner countries collectively import over US$55 billion of jewellery annually. India’s current share stands at US$8 billion—pointing to substantial headroom for growth. Rajasthan, which accounts for 97% of India’s coloured gemstone exports and has a strong presence in silver and imitation jewellery, is uniquely placed to capture this opportunity.

Addressing the gathering, Saket Kumar, Joint Secretary, Department of Commerce, said:

“India’s FTAs are strategic instruments for expanding export opportunities. Our objective is to ensure that every exporter, including MSMEs and cluster-based enterprises is equipped to utilise them.”

The programme aligns with the vision of Hon’ble Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal, who has underscored that India’s export growth strategy rests on enhanced competitiveness, improved market access, and stronger domestic manufacturing. Achieving the target of USD 2 trillion in exports by 2030 will require industry stakeholders to fully leverage the opportunities created by India’s expanding FTA network.

The Department of Commerce will continue similar engagements across key export clusters to ensure wider dissemination of FTA-related opportunities and help make India a leading global manufacturing and export hub under Viksit Bharat 2047.
