In a proud moment for India and the global diamond industry, Shree Ramkrishna Exports (SRK) has achieved a historic breakthrough again in sustainability practices by becoming the first company in the world to craft natural diamonds with a negative carbon footprint. This milestone, announced aligns strongly with India’s climate goals and reflects the nation’s rising leadership in the sustainable development.

SRK’s diamond crafting process now removes more carbon than it emits. The company reports a verified product carbon footprint of (negative)–0.239 kg CO₂e per carat of polished diamond and an overall organisational carbon footprint of (negative)–893 metric tons CO₂e. These numbers are not just estimates but are independently verified by Deutsch Quality Systems (India) Pvt. Ltd. under globally accepted frameworks including ISO 14064-1:2018, ISO 14067:2018, ISO 14068-1:2023, and the GHG Protocol.

SRK has been actively contributing to 14 out of the 17 United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (DDG), making it one of the most sustainability-aligned companies in India’s manufacturing sector. From clean energy adoption to water conservation, waste recycling to responsible consumption, SRK’s efforts reflect how Indian industry can balance growth with environmental stewardship.

The company is on the verge of releasing the second edition of its “Pure Impact Report”, a transparent and visually engaging publication that shares its journey towards sustainability. The report outlines the company’s initiatives in solar-powered operations, net-zero energy and emission buildings, ethical sourcing practices and future-ready water and waste management systems.

At a time when India is actively advancing its GHG emissions reduction roadmap as per the Gazette notifications of 2025, SRK has gone a step ahead by becoming climate-positive. This achievement complements the broader national vision of “Lifestyle for Environment” (LiFE) and the principles of circular economy being promoted across industries.

As of this year, India has entered the Top 100 countries in the Global Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Index for the first time. SRK’s achievement stands as a shining example of how Indian enterprises can directly contribute to these global goals while maintaining their excellence in manufacturing and innovation.

Shreyans Dholakia, Entrepreneur & Brand Custodian at SRK says, “For us, true luxury goes beyond brilliance, it lies in impact. We are proud to show that even in industries like natural diamonds, sustainability is not a dream but a reality. This is not just our milestone, it is India’s milestone too.”

As India continues to rise as a responsible global leader, companies like SRK brings pride to the nation and encourages industries across the board to innovate for a greener tomorrow. This success is not just about luxury, it is about leadership, purpose, and progress.

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.
