Kranti Nagvekar, Founder KNC Services, spoke to JewelBuzz on JMAIIE , its beginnings, objectives and how it is a force to reckon with as we approach the fourth edition of JMAIIE
Over the years the jewellery manufacturing technology segment was not given the importance it deserved. There was no dedicated effort to showcase and promote the machinery and allied segment. We believe that jewellery machinery is the root of manufacturing. This is what drove us to create JMAIIE – a platform focus only on manufacturing technology and machinery. We joined forces with JMA FORUM to create this powerful platform.
India is the second largest manufacturing hub, Hence there was no better place than India, and esp Mumbai which is home to the leading players in jewellery, to conduct JMAIIE. We host only one exhibition a year; Innovation and upgradation in manufacturing technology takes time. Every year exhibitors showcase fresh, innovative technology. Jewellery manufacturers are exposed to latest tech from India and abroad under one roof.
Besides leading players from India, JMAIIE features players from Italy, Turkiye, Germany.Also, many Indian distributors represent Chinese companies.Cutting edge technology from global players like sisma, Fasti, OTEC, Schultheiss is showcased.
Roadshows and seminars to promote JMAIIE are held in major metros and also in smaller cities and towns like Kolhapur and Ichalkaranji. Our team connects personally with jewellery makers and invites them. JMAIIE exhibitors are given a QR code to invite their guests. Each exhibitor reaches out to 100 -150 guests.We host more than 600 companies from India, Dubai and other GCC countries, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh.
JMAIIE is a complete show, besides the best in machinery, we have consultants, banks/financial institutions (offering loans), jewellery designers, interior designers etc
Going forward JMAIIE will get bigger and feature newer elements. We are planning more knowledge seminars.We are showcasing and demonstrating an AI based automated manufacturing process which will save costs and increase efficiency. Also, we wish to award and felicitate jewellery machinery manufacturers for excellence and innovation.

Naresh Balani, Vice Chairman- JMA FORUM spoke to JewelBuzz on the jewellery manufacturing ecosystem, the challenges, need for government support
Earlier, leading Indian jewellery makers were entirely dependent on foreign jewellery machinery.Now increasingly, Indian jewellery makers are using Indian made machinery. But it must be noted that technological and innovation capability of India made machinery is 30 to 40 percent of the leading foreign players. Hence there is a huge gap to be filled.
We have observed that the value and quantum of orders are getting bigger from jewellery manufacturers including corporate retailers.From placing orders worth Rs 5 to 50 lakhs, we now see turnkey projects for manufacturing set up valued from Rs 25 cr to Rs 50 cr. JMAIIE has contributed in this growth story.
The Government of India needs to support Indian jewellery machinery manufacturing ecosystem by providing resources and funds, especially in R&D, skilling, training.Government schemes and finance are required to establish the infrastructure for manufacturing of jewellery machinery.The MSME suppliers need to be integrated into this ecosystem.
The government needs to recognize and honour jewellery machinery manufacturers for excellence and innovation and performance in exports.
Major jewellery companies, especially the public limited companies are adopting new technologies in jewellery machinery and allocating huge budgets. JMAIIE is a channel that communicates the critical need to adopt new technologies, which are crucial to the growth of the GJ industry.JMAIIE is actively promoting the MAKE IN INDIA movement
Indian jewellery machinery manufacturers must focus in improving quality, increase productivity using latest technology including AI, Blockchain, CAD / CAM, invest in research, lessen material wastage and adopt green energy and sustainability practices.

International Women’s Day 2026 has prompted jewellery brands across India to launch campaigns that celebrate women’s empowerment, individuality, and personal achievements.
