IGJS Jaipur 2025 opens;welcomes over 180 international buyers from 28 countries
Amid the evolving global trade landscape, the Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC) inaugurated the International Gem & Jewellery Show (IGJS) Jaipur 2025 today, reinforcing India’s commitment to strengthening its gem and jewellery industry as it navigates the recent announcement of a 27% reciprocal tariff by the US administration on Indian exports.
The 4th edition of IGJS Jaipur, organized by GJEPC, is being held from 3rd to 5th April 2025 at Novotel, Jaipur Exhibition and Convention Centre (JECC), Jaipur. SECURE is the logistics partner for IGJS 2025. The show serves as a premier B2B platform for fostering trade collaborations and expanding India’s footprint in key global markets.
The event was inaugurated by esteemed dignitaries, including Retired Major General Anuj Mathur; Mrs. Shilpi R Purohit, Joint Commissioner, District Industries Centre, Government of Rajasthan; Mr. Gaurav Joshi, Joint Director & HOO, MSME – Development Institute, Ministry of MSME Jaipur; Mr. Shaunak Parikh, Vice Chairman, GJEPC; Mr. Yogendra Garg, Regional Chairman (Rajasthan), GJEPC; Mr. D.P. Khandelwal, Convener, Coloured Gemstone Panel, GJEPC; Mr. Krishna Behari Goyal, Convener, Silver Panel, GJEPC; Mr. Arvind Gupta, Convener, SEZ Panel, GJEPC; and Mr. Siddhartha H, COO, GJEPC.
Over 50 companies exhibiting at 62 booths, presented a stunning collection of loose gemstones, dazzling diamonds, gemstone-studded masterpieces, and exquisite silver jewellery.

Talking about the show, Shaunak Parikh, Vice Chairman, GJEPC, said, “IGJS Jaipur 2025 offers an unparalleled platform to strengthen partnerships and expand global connections. This year, we are proud to host over 50 companies across 62 booths, welcoming more than 180 international buyers from 28 countries, including the USA, UK, Europe, Oceania, MENA, Russia, and the CIS regions. As a premier business-to-business show, IGJS Jaipur fosters collaboration, drives trade, and unlocks new opportunities in the world of fine jewellery.
Jaipur has long been renowned for its exceptional craftsmanship, and IGJS Jaipur 2025 continues to be the go-to destination for international buyers seeking high-quality jewellery from India. The event showcases the finest gemstone and jewellery collections from leading manufacturers, reinforcing Jaipur’s position as a global hub for innovation and excellence in jewellery.”
On this occasion, Shaunak also addressed concerns regarding the recently imposed 27% tariff by the US administration on India which will have a significant impact gem and jewellery exports. He reiterated GJEPC’s stance, urging the US to uphold the spirit of the longstanding trade partnership between India and the USA, built on mutual respect and shared economic interests.
“The tariff presents both challenges and opportunities. In the short term, we anticipate difficulties in sustaining India’s current export volume of USD 10 billion to the US market. In the long term, this could reshape global supply chains,” said Parikh. He further added, “We urge the Government of India to progress the Bilateral Trade Agreement between India and the US, as it would be crucial in navigating the tariff issues and securing long term interest of the sector.”
GJEPC is actively engaging with stakeholders to address the potential risks and explore solutions that ensure continued access to the US market. The Council remains committed to working with the Government of India to progress discussions on trade negotiations that protect the industry’s growth trajectory.
Talking about the Jaipur gem and Jewellery sector Shaunak Parikh said, “GJEPC is committed to taking Jaipur’s gem and jewellery industry to the next level, ensuring its growth as a global hub. GJEPC is also working closely with the government to establish a Special Notified Zone (SNZ) in Jaipur, allowing direct sourcing of rough gemstones from miners, replicating the successful models of SNZs in Bharat Diamond Bourse and Surat Diamond Bourse. Additionally, Initiatives like the India Rough Gemstone Sourcing Show (IRGSS)—scheduled from 11th to 30th April 2025—are crucial in maintaining a steady supply of rough gemstones for manufacturers. These strategic efforts will further strengthen Jaipur’s position as a leading centre for gemstone manufacturing and jewellery exports.”
Yogendra Garg, Regional Chairman (Rajasthan), GJEPC, said, “Gem Bourse in Jaipur, developed by GJEPC in collaboration with the Jewellers Association, Jaipur, and with the visionary support of the Rajasthan Government. Spread across 43,828 square meters, this world-class facility will not only boost exports but also create 60,000 jobs, transforming Jaipur into a global hub for gems and jewellery.”

By bringing together global buyers and Indian exporters, IGJS Jaipur plays a pivotal role in strengthening India’s position as a trusted sourcing hub, even as the industry navigates complex trade dynamics. GJEPC remains optimistic that initiatives like IGJS will bolster trade relations and open new avenues for growth in emerging markets.

Jeremy Keight, GJEPC Coordinator, Asia Pacific, Oceania, UK, Africa, US & Europe, said: “We’re in an ever-changing jewellery industry where designs and demands evolve, and that only happens through collaboration between the buyers and the suppliers. I encourage you to be open with exhibitors, explore possibilities, and dive into design—that’s how we grow as an industry.”
Ali Pastorini, GJEPC Coordinator, Latin America, commented, “I’m proud to bring delegations to this high-quality event. In these challenging times, unity is crucial, and this is a prime opportunity for buyers and sellers to connect and do great business. We must keep pushing forward. India’s exports must not depend solely on the USA—explore untapped markets like Latin America to open new doors. Visitors, take advantage of the incredible companies here; I visited factories yesterday, and you won’t be disappointed.”

Exhibitors were bustling with activity right from the inaugural day of the show. Jinesh Mehta, Founder of Kaamya Jewels, a high-design jewellery brand, remarked that they had been so engaged with clients that they hadn’t even found time for a lunch break.

NEBULA By TITAN Unveils Its First-Ever Exclusive Boutique In Mumbai
The 2,000 Sq.Ft. Khar Flagship, Inaugurated By Karan Johar and Karisma Kapoor, Showcases 18K Gold Timepieces and Indian Luxury Craftsmanship.
The 2,000 sq. ft. flagship in Khar brings Nebula’s world of 18K gold watchmaking, Indian artistry and luxury craftsmanship to life through a contemporary royal atelier experience. The boutique was inaugurated by Karan Johar and Karisma Kapoor.
Nebula by Titan, India’s pioneering luxury gold watch brand, today unveiled its first-ever exclusive standalone boutique in Khar, Mumbai, marking a defining milestone in the brand’s evolution. As the first dedicated Nebula destination and the first exclusive brand boutique within Titan’s Premium Collection portfolio, the launch represents the brand’s most significant investment to date and underscores its long-term commitment to building a distinctive expression of Indian luxury.
Nebula stands for the celebration of one’s most radiant self through a distinguished blend of intricate Indian craftsmanship and world-class horology. Celebrating individuality through exquisite Indian craftsmanship, Nebula marks a new chapter with its first exclusive boutique, bringing fine watchmaking, artistry and immersive luxury experiences under one roof. The boutique was inaugurated by Karan Johar and Karisma Kapoor, whose distinctive personal styles and enduring cultural influence embody the spirit of Nebula and the evolution of Indian luxury.
A Royal Atelier Inspired by India’s Artistic Heritage
Spread across approximately 2,000 sq. ft., the flagship boutique is envisioned as a royal atelier, an intimate world of refined luxury where exceptional craftsmanship, intricate design and the art of fine watchmaking take centre stage. Thoughtfully designed to encourage unhurried discovery and meaningful conversations, the boutique offers a highly personalised experience, with expertly trained staff guiding patrons through exclusive collections and the artistry behind each timepiece. From bespoke consultations to gracious hospitality, every detail invites guests to immerse themselves in the world of Nebula, explore its creations at leisure and enjoy a more intimate approach to luxury shopping.


The design draws inspiration from four enduring themes that have long informed Nebula’s creative universe: Celestial elements, Gardens of Paradise, Architecture, and historic Cities. These influences come to life through a thoughtful interplay of materials, craftsmanship and storytelling. Handcrafted brass and wood balusters, intricate marquetry, delicate gold leafing and finely detailed flooring create an atmosphere of quiet sophistication, reflecting the artistry and precision that define Nebula’s timepieces.



Central to the boutique’s design narrative is indigo, a colour deeply intertwined with India’s artistic and cultural legacy. For centuries, India was celebrated across the world for its indigo cultivation, craftsmanship and trade, with the prized pigment travelling through ancient global trade routes. Even its name traces its origins to the Greek indikon, meaning “from India”. For Nebula, indigo holds an additional significance. Its rich blue depths evoke the vastness of the night sky and the celestial inspirations that have shaped many of the brand’s iconic creations. Paired with accents of antique gold and soft ivory, the palette creates an atmosphere that feels regal, immersive and unmistakably Nebula, balancing heritage with contemporary luxury.


Entering the World of Nebula
More than a destination for fine watchmaking, the boutique offers an intimate immersion into the world of Nebula, where every detail is considered and every interaction thoughtfully curated. At its heart is an exclusive selection of Nebula’s exquisite 18K gold timepieces, each an expression of exceptional artistry, intricate jewellery craftsmanship and timeless design. Guests are invited to discover the inspirations, heritage and meticulous craftsmanship behind each creation, guided by expertly trained specialists who offer a highly personalised approach to watch discovery. Designed to encourage leisurely exploration and meaningful conversations, the boutique pairs attentive, discreet service with gracious hospitality and curated refreshments, allowing patrons to experience the collections in an atmosphere of quiet refinement. The result is a distinctly elevated retail experience, where the pleasure of discovery is as memorable as the timepieces themselves.
Commenting on the launch, Kalpana Rangamani, Chief Sales & Marketing Officer, Premium & Luxury Watches, Titan Company Limited, said:

“The most exciting thing about Indian luxury today is its confidence. Consumers are increasingly seeking brands that combine exceptional craftsmanship with authenticity, cultural depth and a distinctive point of view. The unveiling of Nebula’s first exclusive boutique is a reflection of that evolution. More than a retail destination, it is the physical expression of the Nebula brand and our commitment to creating a world-class luxury experience rooted in Indian artistry and craftsmanship. This milestone marks an important step in our journey to establish Nebula as a distinguished luxury watch brand with an identity and experience that are unmistakably its own.”
A New Chapter for Indian Luxury Watchmaking
Situated in the heart of Mumbai’s fashion and luxury landscape, the boutique establishes a dedicated home for Nebula and represents the next chapter in the brand’s journey. More than a new retail address, it is a statement of intent. It reflects Nebula’s ambition to create a distinctly Indian expression of luxury watchmaking, one that celebrates the country’s extraordinary artistic heritage while meeting the expectations of today’s discerning luxury consumer.
With its first exclusive boutique, Nebula opens the doors to a new world of Indian luxury, where craftsmanship, culture and contemporary elegance come together in a manner that is both timeless and uniquely its own.
