IAGES opens registrations for Mumbai gold entities to elevate Gold Industry Standard in India

The Indian Association for Gold Excellence and Standards (IAGES) aims to set an industry-wide code of conduct covering the entire gold value chain; an IAGES accredited gold entity will add more value to consumers, earning their trust with the promise of fair, transparent and responsible gold buying ahead of the festive season

The dynamically growing Indian gold industry has a new custodian created by the gold industry, for the gold industry. The Indian Association for Gold Excellence and Standards (IAGES), a Self-Regulatory Organization (SRO) is all set to implement the framework for the current gold ecosystem by promoting fair, transparent, and sustainable practices under a strict Code of Conduct outlining the standards.

As a first step, IAGES has opened registrations for accreditation for Mumbai gold entities. The IAGES accreditation framework covers the entire gold value chain, which includes Refining, Bullion trading, Manufacturing, Assaying and Hallmarking to Retailing and even Digital Gold Selling.

As we head into the festive and wedding season when gold purchases peak, retailers with an IAGES accreditation will stand apart with their promise of ethical conduct, operational excellence, and consumer focus. For consumers, buying gold from an IAGES accredited retailer assures them of the rigorous standards of authenticity and integrity of their purchases.

“The gold industry in India is still largely unorganised and fragmented. With IAGES, the gold sector is collectively striving to encourage fair, transparent and responsible practices among retailers across their value chain thereby enabling them to incorporate the highest standards in their businesses. This will not only enhance the sense of responsibility among them but also directly impact the trust among consumers. Many retailers already enjoy consumer trust built over decades, and IAGES aims to help further strengthen and standardise that trust across the industry” said Kaushlendra Sinha, CEO, IAGES.

IAGES is associated with an external assessment partner ICAI to assess the application. Once the assessment is completed successfully, the IAGES accreditation will be granted.

IAGES is also supported by the renowned India Bullion and Jewellers Association (IBJA) and All India Gems and Jewellery Domestic Council (GJC), reaffirming the credibility of its certification.

In addition to compliance, an IAGES accreditation also helps retailers establish market leadership, build consumer loyalty and gain a competitive edge in a crowded marketplace. Accredited members also join a growing network of trusted industry partners, opening opportunities for collaboration, capability development and market visibility.

MMTC-PAMP, India’s only London Bullion Market Association (LBMA)-accredited Good Delivery  Gold & Silver refiner, today announced acclaimed actor Sidharth Malhotra as its Brand Ambassador, marking a significant  milestone in the brand’s journey to strengthen its connection with a new generation of consumers. As part of the association,  Sidharth will lead MMTC-PAMP’s new integrated campaign, ‘Purest And More,’ showcasing the brand’s expanding portfolio  across physical precious metals, digital investments and responsible gold recycling. 

The integrated campaign showcases MMTC-PAMP’s complete ecosystem, from 24K 999.9+ purest gold and silver coins and  bars to digital gold and silver, gold recycling, online purchasing and assured buyback services. Through relatable, everyday  moments and festive celebrations, the campaign reinforces MMTC-PAMP’s position as India’s most trusted precious metals  brand while making gold ownership more relevant, accessible and convenient for today’s consumers. 

Announcing the association, Samit Guha, Managing Director and CEO, MMTC-PAMP said:

“We are delighted to welcome  Sidharth Malhotra to the MMTC-PAMP family. Sidharth has built a strong reputation through authenticity, credibility and a  modern outlook—qualities that closely reflect the values of our brand. As one of India’s most admired and influential actors,  he enjoys a deep connect across generations, making him an ideal ambassador as we continue expanding the reach of MMTC PAMP among both seasoned investors and first-time buyers.

This partnership comes at an exciting phase in our growth as we  continue to redefine precious metals ownership through innovation, responsible sourcing and world-class quality. Through  our ‘Purest And More’ campaign, we are showcasing how MMTC-PAMP today offers far more than physical gold—from digital  investments and online buying to gold recycling and assured buyback—while remaining uncompromising on purity and trust.”

The campaign film unfolds through a series of relatable family moments around a wedding celebration, with Sidharth  naturally introducing consumers to MMTC-PAMP’s diverse offerings. The storytelling highlights that every MMTC-PAMP  offering is backed by the brand’s commitment to purity, trust and convenience while reinforcing its promise of “Purest And  More.” 

Speaking on the association, Sidharth Malhotra said:

“MMTC-PAMP has built a remarkable reputation for purity, trust and  innovation, while also modernising the way people invest in and experience precious metals. Whether it’s celebrating life’s  milestones, building long-term wealth or embracing more responsible choices through recycled gold, the brand continues to  stay relevant for today’s consumers. I’m excited to be part of this journey and look forward to connecting with people through  the ‘Purest And More’ campaign.”

The association brings together one of India’s most recognised actors with one of the country’s most trusted precious metals  brands at a time when consumer interest in certified physical gold, digital gold and sustainable precious metals solutions  continues to grow. With Sidharth Malhotra as the face of the brand, MMTC-PAMP aims to further strengthen its leadership  position while deepening engagement with a younger, digitally connected audience. 

The campaign will be amplified across television, digital platforms, social media, print, retail stores and e-commerce channels,  with dedicated creatives highlighting key offerings including digital gold and silver, festive gifting, Virasat recycled gold,  Akshaya Tritiya, Diwali and MMTC-PAMP’s certified purity credentials.
