Rajesh Neelakanta, executive director and CEO of BVC Logistics Pvt. Ltd., the domestic logistics arm for precious cargo, was recently appointed as a board member of the Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC).
RJC is the jewellery industry’s foremost standard setting and certification body which recently held its first virtual annual general meeting (AGM) – appointing a series of new board members.
Neelakanta will represent the service industry forum in the jewellery supply chain, from mine to retail. He will join the current board members and work closely with the RJC’s executive committee and management team as the organisation continues to position its recently launched 2019 Code of Practices and drive continuous improvement in responsible business practices across the jewellery supply chain.
Neelakanta said, “It is a great honour to be a part of the RJC as a board member. We will aim to increase the RJC membership globally and more specifically from India. We will help bring in the global best practices relevant to the precious cargo industry in India. The focus will be to create a level playing field with regard to building a cohesive business ecosystem where all kinds of industry players participate and more importantly thrive in their respective business areas.”
