Some moments make you pause, look back and feel deeply grateful.
Receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 52nd India Gem & Jewellery Awards 2024–25 is one such moment for me.
I accept this honour with immense humility and a heart full of gratitude.
My journey has never been mine alone. It has been shaped by the unwavering support of the Kiran family, whose trust, encouragement and shared belief have been a constant source of strength.
I am equally grateful to every colleague, mentor, friend, partner and well wisher who has walked alongside me over the years. Every conversation, every challenge, every opportunity and every person has contributed in some way to the journey that brought me here.
My heartfelt thanks to GJEPC for this recognition. I consider this award a tribute to everyone who has been a part of my journey and has helped me grow along the way.
With gratitude for everything that has been, and with hope and excitement for everything that lies ahead.
Thank you for being a part of my journey.
