GIA Celebrates 10 Years of Laboratory Operations in India

19-01-2018   15:35 PM

GIA (Gemological Institute of America) celebrated the 10-year anniversary of the opening of its gem identification and grading laboratory in Mumbai, India, GIA India Laboratory Pvt. Ltd. (GIA India). The state-of-the-art laboratory opened in 2008 in the Bandra Kurla Complex, close to the Bharat Diamond Bourse in Mumbai, to serve the needs of the globally important Indian diamond industry.
GIA hosted an event for clients where GIA President and CEO Susan Jacques and Executive Vice President and Chief Laboratory and Research Officer Tom Moses, along with other executives, helped commemorate the significant anniversary.
“The anniversary marks a milestone in GIA’s continued commitment to India,” said Jacques. “Throughout these 10 years we have worked with trade associations including the Gem and Jewellery Export Promotion Council and the Bharat Diamond Bourse to ensure that our offerings meet the needs of the Indian gem and jewelry industry while advancing our mission to ensure the public trust in gems and jewelry.”
“Every year since GIA laboratory operations began, our focus has been to ensure the objectivity and accuracy of every grading report issued,” said Moses. “This is reinforced by our commitment to deliver innovative, research-based solutions – be it the GIA Melee Analysis Service or the GIA iD100™ – to address the needs of the trade and protect consumers. The recent announcement of the new GIA India laboratory in Surat is the latest example of that commitment.”
Speaking at the event, Nirupa Bhatt, managing director of GIA India and Middle East, said, “From 2008 until today, GIA India has seen its workforce grow from 60 - 37 of whom are still with us - to more than 1,200. We are proud to support the growing demand of the Indian gem and jewelry industry for diamond grading reports. In these 10 years, we have worked with trade associations across India and conducted complimentary seminars to help members of the trade gain knowledge about gemological standards.”
