IAGES Receives Strong Response To IAGES–SPJIMR Advanced Leadership Programme In Gold Entrepreneurship
Next-Generation Leaders From Gold Business Entities Across India Join The Inaugural Cohort
The Advanced Leadership Programme in Gold Entrepreneurship, developed by the Indian Association for Gold Excellence and Standards (IAGES) jointly with SPJIMR (Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan’s S. P. Jain Institute of Management & Research), has received a strong response from gold businesses across the value chain. The first batch of the six-month programme begins on 17 November 2026.
Since the programme was announced in August 2026, enquiries have come in from gold business entities in metros as well as Tier II and Tier III cities. These businesses share a common need: next-generation leaders who learn sound finance, inventory and compliance practices, brand-building and succession planning to augment the trade knowledge they already have.
The inaugural cohort brings together gold business entities from across the country, and includes:
• Mr. Suyash Bansal, B.K. Saraf Private Limited, Lucknow
• Mr. Rishi Jain, Shankheshwar Jewellers, Mumbai
• Mr. Keval Radhanpura, N J Arts, Rajkot
• Mr. Darshan Patel, Samarth Jewellers, Ahmedabad
• Mr. Aryan Anand, Harsahaimal Shiamlal Jewellers, Bareilly
• Ms. Aishwarya Verma, Kuldip Sons Jewellers Pvt. Limited, Jamshedpur
• Mr. Ishaan Jain, Jodhamal Kailashchand, Meerut
• Mr. Azaz Mirza, Kalamandir, Surat
• Mr. Vivan Ranka, Ranka Jewellers, Pune
• Mr. Samyak Shah, Chandukaka Saraf Private Limited, Baramati
• Ms. Pradnyapti Jain, Chandukaka Saraf Private Limited, Baramati
• Mr. Sarthak Singhal, Singhal Jewels and Gems Private Limited, Ghaziabad
• Mr. Tanishq Soni, Govind Ram Jewellers, Lucknow
• Mr. Aman Talla, Talla Jewellers, Jammu
• Mr. Ipsit Karmakar, Bidhan Jewellers, Siliguri
The curriculum is built around the daily realities of every gold business entity: working capital and gold hedging, taxation, BIS hallmarking and compliance, ethical sourcing, the IAGES Code of Conduct, pricing and margins, building a brand, and professionalising the family business, along with AI for business and marketing. It includes 75+ campus sessions, three weeks at SPJIMR’s Mumbai campus and IAGES-led industry sessions. Those who complete the programme receive SPJIMR Executive Alumni status.
Kaushlendra Sinha, Chief Executive Officer, IAGES said:

“The response shows that our industry is ready to invest in its own future. These young leaders come from both IAGES accredited and non-accredited businesses that have earned customer trust over decades, and they are now preparing to run those businesses with stronger systems, governance and transparency. We look forward to welcoming them to the first batch.”
A few seats remain in the first batch, and applications are open until 31 October 2026. Gold businesses that want to prepare their next generation of leaders can find programme details at www.iages.com.

Tanishq Introduces Adhyantara This Festive Season, Translating The Infinite Wonder Of The Cosmos Into Extraordinary Jewellery
Featuring Actress Triptii Dimri, The Collection Finds Its Muse In The Modern Indian Woman, Translating The Celestial Beauty Of The Universe Into Extraordinary Jewellery That Celebrates Her Many Facets
Ahead of the auspicious occasion of Dhanteras, Tanishq, India’s largest jewellery retail brand from the House of Tata, unveils Adhyantara, its latest jewellery collection featuring actress Triptii Dimri. Inspired by the boundless beauty and mystery of the cosmos, the collection brings the wonders of the universe closer to the woman who inspires it.
From the brilliance of distant stars to the poetry of celestial forms, Adhyantara captures the extraordinary, inviting her to explore a world where imagination knows no bounds.
The universe has always held the promise of wonder — vast, mysterious and filled with stories waiting to be discovered.
With Adhyantara, Tanishq reimagines this celestial beauty through the artistry of Indian jewellery craftsmanship, bringing the sun, moon and shooting stars to life in contemporary forms. Sculptural silhouettes, fluid interpretations, and intricate detailing transform familiar elements of the cosmos into expressions of individuality and imagination.
At the heart of this universe is the modern Indian woman: deeply rooted in her heritage, yet ever evolving in the way she defines herself. She is both the inspiration and the muse — multifaceted and constantly discovering new dimensions of who she is.
With Adhyantara, every creation becomes an invitation to make the extraordinary her own.
The campaign featuring Triptii Dimri brings this vision to life through a luminous visual world where the jewellery and its celestial inspirations come together naturally. Her interpretation of the collection reflects the confidence, individuality and contemporary sensibility of the woman for whom Adhyantara has been created.
With over 100 designs across four categories: Glass Kundan, Plain Jewellery with Stones, Plain Gold and Uncut Diamonds. Spanning necklace sets, bangles, finger rings and mangalsutras, the collection features creations in 18kt and 22kt gold, with designs ranging from 30 to 120 grams. Each piece reflects a meeting of imagination and precision, brought to life through sculptural 3D forms, layered badroom, patented 3D Glass Kundan, hand-carved stones and distinctive enamel techniques. Through intricate layering, dimensional artistry and the interplay of colour, light and texture, traditional craftsmanship takes on a contemporary expression, echoing the depth and radiance of the celestial world.
Adding another dimension to the collection, select creations feature modular designs in versatile 3-in-1, 4-in-1 and 5-in-1 formats, with detachable pendants and separable layers that allow each piece to be styled in multiple ways. Asterism-inspired effects, alongside distinctive gemstones such as fire opals and sunstones, bring unexpected nuances of colour, brilliance and depth to the collection. Each detail reveals a different facet of Adhyantara, offering jewellery that evolves with the wearer and the many ways she chooses to express herself.
Speaking about the launch,. Pelki Tshering, Chief Marketing Officer, Tanishq, said:

“Dhanteras is a moment when we celebrate prosperity, optimism and new beginnings, making it a deeply meaningful occasion for Tanishq. With Adhyantara, we wanted to explore the infinite wonder of the universe and bring it closer to the woman who inspires us. To us, she is a universe in herself — multifaceted, ever-evolving and full of dreams waiting to take shape. Our designers have translated the beauty, mystery and radiance of celestial forms into contemporary jewellery, bringing together the richness of Indian craftsmanship and a distinctly modern sensibility.
This festive season, Adhyantara is an invitation to look beyond the familiar, embrace the extraordinary and celebrate the joy of wonder”
With Adhyantara, Tanishq celebrates the festive season through jewellery that brings together celestial inspiration, contemporary design and the enduring artistry of Indian craftsmanship. To further enable festive buying, Tanishq is also offering a flat Rs. 301 off* per gram on gold jewellery, upto 20% off* on making charges of gold jewellery and on diamond value, along with a flat 0% Deduction on exchange of old gold( 18Kt and above) from any jeweller.
