An Exclusive Conversation with Jasmine Francis, Editor-in-Chief of CIOTODAY, Unveiling the Remarkable Journey of Dr. Abhishek Gilara
The jewelry industry is a mix of tradition, craftsmanship, and innovation, influencing cultural forms and luxury markets globally. Traditional in its roots but adapting to contemporary trends, it ranges from artisanal craftsmanship, luxury retail to mass production. India, a world center for high-end jewelry, is famous for its elaborate designs, expert karigars (craftsmen), and rich cultural heritage in weddings and celebrations. With increasing demand for custom designs, eco-friendly approaches, and precision technology, the sector is leaning toward innovation without losing its glorious heritage. Ranging from heritage handcrafted work to modern wholesale production, such companies as Rambhajo continue to redefine perfection, balancing craftsmanship with scalability in a global market. Dr. Abhishek Gilara is a visionary businessman who has perfectly merged tradition with contemporary innovation. As a major driving force behind Rambhajo, a 104-year-old jewelry heritage, he has redefined excellence in wholesale jewelry production.
