Govind Dholakia of SRK felicitated with Lifetime Achievement Award by Global NGO ‘Diamonds Do Good’

13-06-2025   01:30 PM

In a moment of great pride for India and the diamond city of Surat, Govind Dholakia, the humble visionary behind Shree Ramkrishna Exports (SRK), was honoured with the Lifetime Achievement Award by Diamonds Do Good, a prestigious global non-profit organisation. The award was presented at their annual gala during JCK Las Vegas 2025, one of the world’s biggest jewellery shows in the US.

What made the evening even more special was that his son, Shreyans Dholakia, Entrepreneur – Brand Custodian of the company accepted the award on his behalf, stating it made him “ten times prouder” to represent his father and the values he built the business upon.

“Legacy and history are not built by preserving wealth, they are built by giving and sharing.” He always says.

Speaking at the event, Shreyans, said, “Thank you Diamonds Do Good. This honour goes beyond our family, it belongs to every artisan in Surat, to every life touched by our foundation, and to a philosophy we live by: that business is not just about success, but about significance.”

This marks the second time Govind Dholakia has been honoured in the US, the first being the prestigious USGBC Leadership Award, presented in Boston by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) for his visionary commitment to sustainable development.

Through its philanthropic wing, the SRK Knowledge Foundation (SRKKF) which celebrates 10 years this month, SRK continues a legacy of giving started by Govind Dholakia over 40 years ago. Created to bring all such efforts under one roof, SRKKF has since impacted millions through initiatives in education, girl child empowerment, healthcare and rural development.
