The Company focuses on making handcrafted jewellery.

The Company fulfills the royal aspirations of the brides with exclusive heritage jewellery and also accentuates the feeling of Royalty to people who adorn such jewellery. The Company has newly started 18-karat gold jewelry which offers a good balance between durability and purity. Considering the business dynamics, it is far more popular as it has been mixed with more durable metals to make it in itself far more durable which makes it a very attractive proposition. This will further assist in reaching out to masses and serve public at large thereby help in increasing margin and capture the untouched market.

The Company has launched an extension to its already ongoing exclusive jewellery collection, "Vilandi" – Flat Polki Diamond Jewellery Collection". The Company is making good progress towards the strategic choices outlined earlier this year, specifically by introducing the development of our new product offering with stunning designs and several varieties in the category of heavy Royal Necklaces. The Company offers Flat Diamond Jewellery heavily studded with colorful Ruby, Emerald and other precious gemstone which makes the person feel royal due to its uniqueness and vibrant designs.

The Company is in the process of setting up additional manufacturing capacity at Basheerbagh, Hyderabad in a premises owned by the promoters for future growth of the Company to cater to growing demand. The new factory will be more technology oriented and shall be a state of art facility with well -planned layout and use of high end tech tools for the designing section. The unit specializes in Gold ornaments studded with flat diamond and color gemstones. The said facility of the Company will be well equipped with state-of-the-art machinery and technology by using Computer Aided Design (CAD and Computer aided model manufacturing (CAM), increasing the overall capacity and enhanced finishing of the products. The management is hopeful that production capacity will be increased to three times.

Further, the Company has been supporting its marquee clientele with product conceptualization and product design services based on first-hand market feedback and research & development (R&D) of its designing and marketing team. The Company is focusing on renowned selected family Jewellers in each City.

At present, the management is the fifth Generation who posses great experience and immense skills in the field of Gems and Jewellery sector. The products of the Company has received overwhelming response in India International Jewellery Show (IIJS).

Strategizing the Marketing & Business Development: a. Business Development Policy: A Business Development Policy is being evolved to cater to ever changing market preferences, but with a focus on growth and how to achieve it. It's a long-term plan that outlines strategies for steady and sustainable business growth over the coming years.

Its scope covers both the marketing and sales functions, as they are interlinked in the Jewellery Industry. b. Customer Acquisition Policy: Customer acquisition is important for businesses of any age and size. The goal of this process is to create a systematic, sustainable customer who can sell the Company's products in the long term. c. The credit policies are kept dynamic based on client profiles to allow credit to the parties which vary from 45- 60 days depending on the retention margin on the products. So, before adding a new customer, a due diligence is done to understand, the credit worthiness of the client.

The Company's marketing team at present is catering to the following category of buyer group like National Chains – Retail Chains having National level presence, Local Chains – Retail Chains having regional/local level presence, Family Jewellers – Well known Family jewellers having 1 or 2 stores, Distributors and Exports Like other industries, the gems and jewellery industry is also facing many challenges related to labour. These are mainly shortage of skilled labour and migrant workers related issues. Manual methods of cutting, polishing, manufacturing and designing of gems and jewellery are steadily being substituted with high-end automation using machines and software. But India being a country where most of the consumer base highly believes in traditional methods of Jewellery making is a trustworthy one, it is still taking time to make them adopt to the change that automation in this industry is no less. Lack of educated labour is also a great challenge in this industry because, use of laser machines, operating computers and understanding modern techniques require systematic and practical training.

It is expected that the positive impact of polarization on the organized sector is likely to be visible operationally within a couple of years that would go a long way in improving the margin and turnover for the industry in general and the Company. With the availability of further funds, the growth is likely to be accelerated in the coming years. The gross profit margin will be maintained at around the current level even on elevated top line growth. The Company will work for better amortization of corporate office fixed expenses and no material impact will be felt on the areas of gold price fluctuations as part of inventory is hedged. Further, except for unforeseen circumstances like the ongoing COVID, the management is confident of performing in the areas prioritized.
