Vice Chairman, GJEPC
Collectively, the gem and jewellery industry stood tall in the face of the pandemic. We, at the Coun-
cil, debuted virtual trade fairs and buyer-seller meets to keep the momentum going and the Q3 and
Q4 reflected their success.
While IIJS Virtual offered us a digital window to reconnect and check the pulse of the market, the
physical show will help us to rekindle ties in person. IIJS Premiere will bring back the touch and feel
factor when selecting gems and jewellery, which is always a prerequisite when placing bulk orders.
During the pandemic, the Government of India provided multiple relief measures for the industry.
It goes without saying that the Government is keenly supporting and taking this sector to a new lev-
el. The Government has rationalised the import duty on gold, silver and platinum. It has also come
up with the revamped Gold Monetisation Scheme and it’s a win-win for all as it will unlock tonnes
of idle gold in India. This will not only benefit the consumers, retailers and banks, but the nation as
well.
As an industry, we should make sure that we take advantage of the conducive business environ-
ment created by the Government for the gem and jewellery trade.
I wish everybody a successful IIJS Premiere 2021.
Shailesh Sangani
Convener, National Exhibitions, GJEPC
Get ready for this year’s first mega gem and jewellery show IIJS Premiere 2021. The show is being
held at the Bengaluru International Exhibition Centre, Karnataka, and is spread across 5 Halls with
over 1,314 exhibitors and 2,535 booths.
GJEPC has taken all the precautionary measures against Covid-19. We have made the registration
processes completely digital – registration is mandatory through GJEPC’s online app, digital
contactless badges will be issued (no physical badges), visitors and exhibitors have to compulsorily
download the Aarogya Setu App. Moreover, for entry into the exhibition, visitors must have taken at
least one vaccine dose.
In accordance with State and Central Government SOPs and guidelines, the social distancing norm
of 3.25 square metres per person will be strictly adhered to.
I would like to thank our exhibitors and visitors for reposing faith in us to help organise IIJS
Premiere 2021 in physical form. Best of luck!
Sabyasachi Ray
Executive Director, GJEPC
GJEPC has always led the industry from the front. IIJS Premiere 2021 is an opportunity for us to
reinstate our leadership by organising a show by following all the safety measures against Covid.
Over the last several months, GJEPC has not only been tapping new markets but also seeking
new ways to do business for its members. The Council has been working for a comprehensive
e-commerce policy for the gem and jewellery industry. An MoU was signed with eBay to provide
impetus to Indian gem & jewellery sellers on the global e-marketplace and explore potential
business collaborations for facilitating sectoral growth.
The Council is also making sure that our trade members avail maximum benefits of the
Government schemes available. GJEPC recently signed an MoU with the National Small Industries
Corporation (NSIC), to enable our members, especially the MSME units, to avail their various
schemes.
The Council continues to take a holistic approach for the sustainable growth of this industry. I
am sure that IIJS Premiere 2021 will put our industry on a growth trajectory in terms of exports and
domestic sales.

Five Tourist Attractions
Around Bengaluru
From historical monuments and museums to idyllic gardens and famous
temples, there is a lot to explore in the Garden City.
Bengaluru is known as India’s Silicon Valley as well as the Garden City of India. A hub for tech and start-up ventures, the city beautifully
amalgamates business with pleasure, intertwining the past and the present in its myriad tourist spots.
There are several notable monuments, palaces, parks, shopping destinations and spiritual places that you can visit during your stay in
Bangalore. The all-year round pleasant weather is an added advantage to make the most of your day.
Here are a few to get you started:

Director, Waman Hari Pethe Jewellers
Every year, IIJS is one of the trendsetting shows for the jewellery industry where exhibitors from
across the country come and showcase the latest innovations and designs. Since the pandemic, this
is going to be the first IIJS, and I’m looking forward to exploring new trends.
Since some years, lightweight gold jewellery in traditional as well as in contemporary designs has
become quite popular irrespective of gold prices, and we will be exploring this range. Our stores
are currently offering vibrant rose gold jewellery which is ideal for daily wear as well as special
occasions. The secondary demand is towards diamond jewellery at the wedding as well as in the
festive space.
Since the second wave has been controlled, we are seeing a good reaction from consumers and
the market has started warming up. I am positive that by the time Ganesh Chaturthi commences, we
will start seeing the buying momentum. By Diwali, we will be able to cover up for the lost time.
