From the Founder Desk

                                     Dear Distinguished Readers

Mr.Jayanti Savaliya President, SJMA

At the outset, I welcome you back to our pages. Last year, in 2023, you took in the words of the first edition of our Rootz Magazine. This year too, I invite you to read and relish the narratives that ink our pages.

Rootz Magazine was a thought penned to life, an extension of our erstwhile Rootz Exhibition which has already established itself as a distinguished exhibition catering specifically to the B2B clientele. And this year too, the magazine continues to carry the mantle of being another platform for the gems and jewellery industry of Surat, India and the world.

This year, 2024 has seen many new chapters unfold in various nooks, corners and sectors of the country. And one that stands out for me is the fact that our very own Surat, the hub of jewellery manufacturing has been identified as one of the growth hubs by the government of India. I am sure that we will prove our mettle in this matter and see the name and efforts of our city shine nationally and globally. The cover story of our magazine pays an ode to this development.

Mr. Amit Korat Vice President, SJMA

Mr.Vijay Mangukiya Secretary, SJMA

Just like the first edition, this edition too continues to showcase the roots of our industry while also embracing its evolution. I hope you enjoy our journey of embarking on stories that are relevant to our gems and jewellery industry


Mr. Rajesh Lunagariya Treasurer, SJMA

The second edition of our magazine stands as a testimony of our commitment to shed light on the developments, growth and stories in the gems and jewellery industry of the nation and the world at large.


Mr.Kishor Vaghasiya Joint Secretary, SJMA

As you turn the pages of this second edition, I invite you to immerse yourself in the stories, trends, and insights that make our industry truly special. And unfurl a world of insights, views and events.

Mr. Kalpesh Vaghasiya IMM, Past President, SJMA

Here’s to another chapter of creativity, collaboration, and growth. I hope you enjoy exploring the Rootz of our dynamism in the second edition.
