It is with great pleasure I congratulate the winners of the RETAIL JEWELLER INDIA AWARDS for their deserved success.

Collectively these companies characterize India as an emerging player in the world of jewellery retail. All the winners demonstrate enormous creativity in fields of design, retail and marketing and are major contributors to the growth of India's jewellery economy. Such innovations have a substantial impact in setting industry benchmarks as they bring completely new concepts into the market and lead the industry. I hope the initiative demonstrated by these businesses and individuals inspires others to fulfill their potential, achieve their goals, and make a positive contribution to the success of the industry.

Winning at the Oscars of the India jewellery retail is indeed a defining moment of corporate excellence and an indication of greater achievements to come.

I encourage all the winners who participated last year to join us again and wish them great success and look forward their future victories.
