Jewellery is made by hand, at scale, for people who will never meet the maker.

DVNJEWELRY
GLOBAL BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT

Markets, relationships, repeat business

As Co-Founder and Global Business Development Director he leads marketing and sales: opening markets outside India, holding the international B2B relationships the trade runs on, and acquiring the customers who place a second order.

Expertise

International Business Development

Opening markets outside India and building the commercial structure to serve them: identifying buyers, negotiating terms, and expanding a Mumbai manufacturing business into overseas territories.

Marketing & Sales Strategy

Global marketing and sales leadership for a manufacturer: positioning, customer acquisition, and the sales strategy that turns a first enquiry into a standing account.

Jewellery Manufacturing

Fine-jewellery manufacturing at scale — precious-metal jewellery, gold-filled products, sterling silver, gold vermeil and custom-designed pieces — and what buyers in each of those categories actually need to be told.

International Trade & Export

Exporting from India: the documentation, logistics and expectation management that decide whether a shipment arrives as the buyer pictured it.

Sustainable Manufacturing

Sustainability treated as a production practice rather than a claim — part of how DVNJEWELRY positions itself to international buyers, and a standing commitment rather than a campaign.

Women-Centred Employment

Women-centred employment and production practices are part of how DVNJEWELRY is run, and women's empowerment is one of the causes his philanthropic work centres on — alongside legal awareness, economic participation, education and social development.
