Rahul Desai officially launches RD consultancy, setting a new benchmark for growth in the jewelry industry
Rahul Desai, MD & CEO of the International Institute of Gemology (IIG), known for his transformative leadership and foresight in the jewelry business, officially announces the launch of RD Consultancy, a dedicated jewelry business growth consultancy. With a specialized focus on Product Planning, People Management, Brand Pulse, and Placement Strategy; RD Consultancy is positioned as a holistic partner for jewelry businesses looking to evolve, scale, and lead in an increasingly competitive landscape. This new venture marks a significant evolution in his multifaceted career, adding to his legacy as a strategist, educator, and trusted advisor within the industry.
With more than two decades of experience spanning manufacturing, retail, branding, and digital integration, Rahul Desai has played a pivotal role in elevating both B2B and B2C jewelry enterprises. Through RD Consultancy, he now brings this depth of experience into a formal structure designed to guide businesses through real, scalable transformation. The consultancy is built on a singular promise: to help jewelry brands move from vision to execution with strategic clarity and operational precision.

“In my experience,” Rahul Desai shares, “many entrepreneurs have the ambition and potential, but they often lack the framework to convert that into sustained success. RD Consultancy offers that missing blueprint. Whether it’s about building from scratch, navigating a market shift, or unlocking the next level of growth, we help bridge the gap.” The consultancy also supports businesses transitioning across models, from B2C to B2B or D2C, and into e-commerce, with strategies tailored to today’s dynamic consumer and trade landscapes.
Rather than offering off-the-shelf solutions, RD Consultancy approaches each project with a bespoke customized strategy. From recalibrating growth plans to streamlining teams and operations, from reimagining merchandise assortments to building compelling brand narratives, the focus remains on long-term value creation. Its solutions are insight-driven and outcome-oriented, ensuring clients don’t just keep pace, but lead.
Over the years, Rahul Desai has already been the silent force behind several successful turnarounds and brand evolutions. Now, with the official launch of RD Consultancy, this expertise becomes accessible to a wider audience ready to take their jewelry business to the next level.

Bhima Gold Unveils Ashtalakshmi Coin Collection for Akshaya Tritiya, Blending Devotion with Exquisite Design
A culturally rooted, insight-led launch that reimagines festive gold buying through storytelling, symbolism, and spiritual relevance.
In a move that blends cultural storytelling with product innovation, Bhima Gold has unveiled its Ashtalakshmi Coin Collection for Akshaya Tritiya – positioning gold not just as a purchase, but as a deeply symbolic expression of prosperity, faith, and intent.
Timed with one of India’s most significant gold-buying occasions, Akshaya Tritiya, the launch reflects a deeper cultural shift in consumer behaviour. While the festival continues to drive strong purchase intent, there is a growing preference for meaningful, purpose-led buying experiences over purely transactional consumption.
Aligned with this evolving mindset, the Ashtalakshmi coin collection has been thoughtfully conceptualised to blend tradition with deeper symbolism. Inspired by the eight sacred forms of Goddess Lakshmi, each coin represents a distinct dimension of prosperity—from wealth and nourishment to courage, knowledge, and continuity.

By bringing together Adi Lakshmi, Dhana Lakshmi, Dhanya Lakshmi, Gaja Lakshmi, Santana Lakshmi, Veera Lakshmi, Vijaya Lakshmi and Vidya Lakshmi, the collection reframes gold coins from being a generic festive purchase to a story-driven, culturally immersive product experience – one that resonates across generations and belief systems.
This launch also aligns with Bhima Gold’s larger centenary narrative of “Together Purever,” which focuses on legacy, shared traditions, and evolving consumer meaning. The collection becomes an extension of that philosophy – reinforcing how heritage brands are reinterpreting tradition for a more aware and emotionally driven consumer.
Customers can pre-book their favourite jewellery by paying just 10% in advance & get their jewellery on Akshaya Tritiya at the lowest rate, which gives customers more flexibility and helps them plan their purchases with greater confidence, especially at a time when gold prices are high.
Akshaya Tritiya has traditionally been associated with intention, belief, and the aspiration for prosperity, extending beyond a purely transactional act of buying gold. The Ashtalakshmi Coin Collection has been conceptualised to reflect this deeper cultural and spiritual significance, with each coin designed to carry a distinct meaning and sense of purpose. The initiative also aligns with evolving consumer preferences, where there is a noticeable shift towards jewellery that offers emotional, cultural, and spiritual resonance in addition to intrinsic value.
With gold prices near record highs and consumer sentiment becoming more considered, Bhima’s Ashtalakshmi Coin Collection signals a broader shift in the category — from price-led promotions to meaning-led engagement, where design, storytelling, and cultural relevance drive both differentiation and demand.
As legacy brands navigate a new era of conscious consumption, Bhima Gold’s latest offering highlights how tradition can be reimagined as experience, making gold buying not just an act of investment, but an expression of identity and belief.
