We commenced are operations in 1987, with a single jewellery showroom in UAE and with sheer determination, the support and blessings of my family, friends and employees- we are today a multi-billion dollar global conglomerate. Though jewellery retailing remains our core business, the Joyalukkas Group s other business interests include Fashion & Silks - Jolly Silks, Money Exchange - Joyalukkas Exchange, Malls - Mall of Joy, Realty - Joyalukkas Lifestyle Developers & Luxury Air Charter - Joy Jets. What are the factors that differentiate your brand from competition? Our thinking and belief that 'customer is king' helps us to ensure we create relationships with customers and they in turn become our brand ambassadors who get their family and friends to us. 'Trust' is another aspect we emphasize on, and over the past 25 plus years we have won the trust of over 10 million customers world-wide. Is branded jewellery gaining more favour from customers across India? I think more than branded jewellery. its design and variety that is more important to customers. Today s jewellery buyer has become more discerning and very knowledgeable, they get to know global trends very quickly and expect you to offer those trends immediately. However, as retailers we are investing in sub-brands where thematic jewellery collections will be offered to our customers. If you could change one thing about the business, what would it be and why? Being an entrepreneur, challenges excite me, hence I see every problem or issue as a learning experience which will help me become better and work harder to meet consumer expectations. So I don't have anything that I am keen to change. How was the FY 2014-15? Are you satisfied with the company s performance? We ended the FY 2014-15 on a good note, we fulfilled our objectives which were set, our growth rate of 20% was consistent and we grew as per plan. What do you think was by far your best business decision? To believe a jewellery retail business can be run like a professional organization. We are the first jeweller to introduce systems and practices to this business and see the merit of taking professionally run jewellery retail to various parts of the world. We are today in 10 countries and we plan to expand to many more countries soon. The response we have received from every new country or location we have ventured into just makes us more ambitious. Looking into the future, what are the problems that might arise and could hamper growth? Problems exist for every business. Not letting it affect you and working around the problem is what makes a business successful. Proper planning and being nimble is what helps you meet every problem head-on and be prepared to face any situation with the right frame of mind. How do you see online jewellery sales develop in India especially after the entry of Ebay, Amazon and other start-ups? We are following online jewellery business trends closely and in the process of putting our own e=commerce platform in place. We will disclose and announce our plans when we are ready to roll-out. How can the jewellery industry evolve and contest the growing consumer inclination towards lifestyle products? Through innovation and design, as long as we stay relevant and keep delighting them with great designs and innovative products, consumer interest in jewellery is here to stay. Whom do you consider as your role model? How has it made an impact in your life? My biggest role model is my father, who inspired me to become an entrepreneur. There are many other great people I admire and who inspire me in various aspects of life and business. What advice would you like to give to the next generation? Follow your passion and persevere because ultimately hard work is what helps you accomplish your dreams. Do you have any unfinished business agenda which remains to be accomplished?

VISITOR'S VOICES Pranay Marothi Marothi Jewellers Betul, MP Tarun Kanwar NTS Navrattan Jeweller Pvt. Ltd., Delhi Dilip Tulsiani R.S. Jewellers Ajmer, Rajasthan Kailash Mosun J. K. J. & Sons Jewellers, Jaipur Manish Singhvi, Gems & Art Plaza Jodhpur, Rajasthan 1. What role has Signature IIJS played over the years in transforming your business? Pranay Marothi: At the show, we get to explore new designs as well as engage with existing and new exhibitors under one roof. In addition to that, we also get to capitalize on more business opportunities as a result of better pricing being offered by the exhibitors. Tarun Kanwar: I have been a regular visitor at the Signature IIJS show ever since it was launched in Goa as a couture show. We started our business with quite a few vendors in the previous editions of Signature IIJS and over the years we have grown our business association with most of them considerably. This show definitely helps us in our efforts to focus and promote the couture jewellery category. Dilip Tulsiani: Signature IIJS plays very important role in our business as it helps us source a variety of trendy products at competitive prices. Kailash Mosun: We are wholesalers who have ventured into the retail business. A show like Signature IIJS play a vital role in our business. It helps us source a wide variety of jewellery designs to offer to our retail customers. Manish Singhvi: The show gives us first-hand information of the latest trends in jewellery design displayed through various exhibitors, which in turn helps us source a wider range of inventory for the buying season. SIZEABLE DELEGATIONS FROM IRAN CONFIRMS PRESENCE In its endeavor to showcase India s mammoth Gems and Jewellery industry, the GJEPC hosted international roadshows and door-to-door visits to promote Signature IIJS in Iran, primarily in Tehran and Isfahan. The objective was to make the top Iranian jewelers aware and recognize India s strength in jewellery design, craftsmanship and finish. The roadshow was inaugurated by His Excellency Saurav Kumar, Ambassador of India to Iran which was attended by more than 70 buyers. Attendees were briefed about the significance of the Signature IIJS show keeping in view Make in India policy. Door-to-door visits were made in major jewellery markets in Tehran including Tejarat Market, Tijris Market, ARC City Center Mall, Tendis Market, Khairmal Market, Saniati Street, Mirdamad Market & Great Bazar. A lot of jewellers offered their commitment to visit Mumbai for the show. 2. What new trends and styles in jewellery are you willing to source? Pranay Marothi: Machine bangles, Kolkata pattern jewellery and trendy jewellery is what we plan to source at Signature IIJS 2016. Tarun Kanwar: As an independent store we aspire to stay ahead of the design curve. We are always on the look out for new designs in bridal, casual & elegant jewellery. In the machine made jewellery category, we prefer sourcing products that have been fabricated using the latest technology in order to achieve better finishing. Dilip Tulsiani: We look forward for sourcing new designs, stylish & trendy gold chains at the show. Kailash Mosun: I am keen on sourcing gold chains, kundan jewellery, meena kari, and fusion jewellery along with traditional jewellery. Manish Singhvi: In the forthcoming show, I look forward for sourcing silver jewellery and kundan meena jewellery. 3. What is your business outlook for the buying season? Pranay Marothi: We do feel optimistic about the season ahead. The market was weak before Diwali but with a drop in gold prices and the wedding season ahead, we expect to do better business. Tarun Kanwar: The business of jewellery is going through a challenging phase. From supply constraints, to ever increasing competition, resulting in margin squeeze. For a business to remain stable, one needs to realign their businesses to the new market dynamics and be ready to adapt to change. My feeling is that, this season, the demand for wedding jewellery will continue to remain the key driver for growth. Dilip Tulsiani: The last season was slow. However, I do expect the forthcoming season to be good for business. Therefore, Signature IIJS is the perfect place to source the latest jewellery collections from the best manufacturers and rejuvenate our stocks for the busy seasons ahead. Kailash Mosun: I believe that 2016 will be a good season for business. With the show being right at the start of the year, retailers can create an inventory with a wider variety of designs. Manish Singhvi: Generally, we exhaust our inventory after Diwali and replenish our stocks with the latest designs showcased at Signature IIJS. I think exquisite couture jewellery will drive demand in the forthcoming season. 4. Are you able to meet potential new suppliers? Pranay Marothi: In the previous edition of the show, we got to partner with good suppliers for machine made bangles. We are in touch with many of them we met in the last edition. We look forward to pursuing new partnerships this year too. Tarun Kanwar: Signature IIJS has grown immensely over the years The sizeable increase in the number of exhibitors and visitors is validation in itself as a significant sourcing destination. One simply needs to plan their visit appropriately by doing prior research on exhibitors in order to have productive meetings at the show. Dilip Tulsiani: At every Signature IIJS show, we get to meet new suppliers operating in different scales. One has the choice to choose between large-medium-small exhibitors. I expect the forthcoming edition to outperform the last one with the increase in the number of exhibitors participating. Kailash Mosun: Yes, we do get to meet new suppliers along with reuniting with our old partners. Meeting new suppliers helps us view and source jewellery and gemstones of the highest standards of design, craftsmanship and finish. Manish Singhvi : Yes, Signature IIJS helps us to meet new suppliers to understand price comparison and get more information about the latest trends. THE INNER CIRCLE An exclusive networking event The Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council will host an exclusive networking event on 5th February 2016 at JW Marriott Sahar, Mumbai, post the grand inauguration of the 9th edition of Signature IIJS 2016. It s an event comprising of pre-identified buyers, manufacturers, exhibitors, and top 400 retailers of the country. As the event brings together the finest talents representing the Gems & Jewellery industry, it s an opportunity for the exhibitors to network, plus a chance to unwind with likeminded individuals over entertainment. 5. How do you see the domestic demand for jewellery in the next 6 months? Pranay Marothi: It should be good. If there is further reduction in gold prices, then it will be a really good trigger to drive more demand. Tarun Kanwar: Given the overall business outlook, I feel most of the jewellery sales are going to be occasion based only, weddings being the primary driver. We might experience a lower than normal, in-store footfall resulting in lower impulse purchases. However, I am quite hopeful that things would start looking better over the period of 6-7 months. Dilip Tulsiani: I do feel optimistic about a revival in demand in 2016. We just need to work hard in recreating the magic that consumers used to have with jewellery. Kailash Mosun: With every downturn, an upswing is always round the corner. Business in 2015 was average, but I do expect a turnaround in 2016. Manish Singhvi: In the next six months, demand will gradually increase as a result of wedding season & NRI inflows.

The Global Technology manufacturers are looking for partners at each Indian hub and are willing to offer their technical knowhow to suit customer s requirements. 2) How do you foresee the coming year for the machinery / equipment suppliers? With the fast moving Technology, Efficient solutions are being continuously required for manufacturing of jewellery. Customers will be looking at one stop shop.

Deepak Pattni Soni Enterprise, Mumbai The Indian gems & jewellery market has always been promising, whether it s related to manufacturing or technology. Many companies focus on growing their business opportunities in the jewellery sector. I see the concept of IGJME and Signature IIJS as a great initiative as all the leading companies will come together under one roof and this in turn will facilitate more business. The success of this show mainly depends on what new products are showcased by exhibitors which can offer their customers a competitive advantage in manufacturing. Advantages could be in upgrading existing systems or a complete overhaul in the area of technology and production. This year at the IGJME, we will launch our new machinery for both- jewellery manufacturers and coin minting businesses. Our new products are designed to achieve cost effectiveness in production. We are hopeful that IGJME 2016 will draw a lot of decision makers in order to foster new interactions and partnerships. Wishing everyone best of luck. Raju H Malvi EXHIBITOR COMMENTS H. K.
