GIA India held the graduation ceremony for students of the Graduate Diamonds Diploma Program at its Mumbai campus. Devansh Rajesh Shah, Partner, Venus Jewel, was the chief guest at the event.
The graduation ceremony was preceded by an interactive session in which Shah spoke on the topic “Opportunities in the Natural Diamond Industry.”
Sharing his insights with the students, he said, “We deal with natural diamonds – a product that’s high-value – and customers rely on us to provide them with accurate knowledge. Education from institutes like GIA is important to build trust and confidence among consumers about this industry.”
Addressing the students, Apoorva Deshingkar, Senior Director – Education and Market Development, GIA India, said, “I would like to congratulate our GIA Diamond Graduates for this remarkable achievement. The gem and jewellery sector is a highly skill-based field, and our programs provide time-tested skills and the knowledge to ensure our students are industry-ready.”
Aadit Parekh, GIA Diamonds Graduate, said, “I learned about GIA through friends in the industry. As I’m starting my business in diamonds, the knowledge I gained from the program will prove extremely beneficial.”
