Honourable Governor of Maharashtra, Ramesh Bais, inaugurated the Gem and Jewellery Council's (GJC) 'India Gem and Jewellery Show (GJS), in a glittering ceremony held at the prestigious Jio World Convention Centre, Mumbai on 30 September 30, 2023. The Diwali edition of GJS show is being organized from 30th September 2023 to 3rd October 2023.
Speaking on the occasion, Honourable Governor of Maharashtra, Mr Ramesh Bais, said, “Gems and jewellery industry has been a major pillar of economic growth of our country. India has been progressing well towards a New India under the able leadership of the Prime Minister Mr Narendra Modi. We have established India as a strong and responsible country on the global scale with the successful hosting of the G20 Summit, which focuses on cultural and economic development. I have heard a lot about the Dubai Shopping Festival. However, I am surprised that we have not organised a Mumbai Shopping Festival of the similar structure. I would interact with the gems and jewellery industry to organise a similar kind of festival from next year."
Strategically scheduled ahead of the wedding and festive season, the GJS has become a must-attend event. This Diwali edition of GJS is designed to serve all classes of people and fulfil jewellers’ quests for trend-setting jewellery pieces for retailers, wholesalers, and consumers. GJS will also honour jewellers at GJS Nite, which was celebrated on the evening of 30th September 2023.
Saiyam Mehra, Chairman of GJC and Convenor of GJS expressed satisfaction over preparations for the Diwali edition of GJS and evinced excitement. “We thank the honourable Governor of Maharashtra to have consented to inaugurate this event. There will be several centers of attraction at this event including leading models walking the ramp, leading jewellers displaying their innovative designs etc. We invite jewellers and visitors to take advantage of this extraordinary opportunity and boost their revenue for the present and the future.”
