Today we have grown to become an international brand spread across 11 countries worldwide. It goes without saying that we are very proud of our accomplishments to date but at the same time we realise that these are part of our broader vision to ornament the world. Recording our achievements in this coffee table book has further energized us and strengthened our resolve to chase our dreams with renewed vigour and confidence.

I am also pleased to say that today we have become a brand that is close to the hearts of more than two million customers across the world. With a strong presence spread over India, GCC, USA, UK, Singapore and Malaysia we are known for our legacy of trust, value and heritage.
