Mr. Rajesh Rokde
(Chairman GJC)
“PMI is an initiative taken by the GJC for the industry in creating an environment where the strengths of the relationships, trust and generations of business experience can translate into new business opportunities. By bringing manufacturers and retailers closer, we want to encourage meaningful collaboration, help businesses respond to changing market needs and build a stronger, more connected jewellery trade across India.”
Mr. Avinash Gupta
(Vice Chairman, GJC)
“PMI provides the opportunity for the top manufacturers and retailers to interact directly, exchange perspectives and identify products that meet actual market demand. PMI is a curated premium event by GJC and our aim is to make business interactions more focused and productive that can lead to sustained business and long-term partnerships.”
Mr. Chetan Thadeshwar
(Convener, GJC–PMI)
“This years’ concluding PMI Show in Chennai scaled up to 60 booths and 180+ by invited guests from its initial edition with 45 booths. The waitlisting list for PMI speaks of its success and the quality of business interactions and the opportunities it creates. Our focus is on the creation of the value for every participant of PMI by enabling retailers to discover products suited to their markets and have conversations with manufacturers that can translate into actual business.”
Mr. Saiyam Mehra
(IPC, GJC and Co-convener PMI)
“This year marks the 7th edition of PMI by GJC and over the years it has consistently been a prestigious platform for manufacturers and retailers to exchange ideas, discover new collections and discuss emerging consumer preferences. Such direct engagement helps businesses make more informed decisions and identify opportunities which are stronger than any conventional business interactions.”
Mr. Madan Kothari
(Director and COA, GJC)
“PMI Chennai 2026 is an exclusive closed door curated event. It offers a unique opportunity to evaluate collections, interact directly with manufacturers and explore products that can strengthen retailers’ offerings. Equally, the manufacturers gain a better understanding of retailers’ expectations and the dynamic changing market conditions. This two-way exchange is essential for building a more responsive and competitive jewellery market.”
Mr. Salim Daginawala
(Co- Convener, PMI)
“The PMI format continues to reflect a broader industry shift towards curated, experience-led trade platforms—where engagement is designed, not accidental, and relationships are built with intent.”
