Abhishek Haritwal, Founder of Haritsons Designs Pvt. Ltd., Jaipur, is a long time exhibitor of IIJS, and believes that the show has played a pivotal role in not just helping budding manufacturers but established companies to expand manifold.
Since when have you been participating in IIJS, and how has it helped your company grow?
We have been participating since 2004 and IIJS is that single event which is of utmost commercial importance not just for us, but for the entire trade.
What are you presenting at the show currently?
We are showcasing the Almas-E-Nizam collection, a tribute to the Deccan sultans, who were the legendary connoisseurs of intricate detailing and craftmanship.
Tell us a little about your company. When did you start your brand?
We began with mining exploration pursuits. Haritsons Designs P Ltd. was incorporated in 2008 with a vision to create a mines-to-market luxury vertical and a forward integration of gem mining with the state-of-the-art manufacturing facility. Our finesse in ornamental metalsmithing, was beginning to be noticed by the connoisseurs, and we were fortunate to get an opportunity to create architectural masterpieces for the Rambagh Palace, one of the finest luxury hotels of the world.
In 2012, we created a new retail brand Symetree in Khan Market, New Delhi. This vertical was conceived to appreciate the symmetrical architecture of the Kachwaha dynasty, hence the name.
In 2018, we launched an online vertical called Tirbari. This is a fashion and costume jewellery vertical and is inspired by the triple arches seen in the courtyards of Rajasthani architecture.
Tell us about the museum that you opened in 2020?
This project was a longstanding one, and it finally came to fruition in 2020. It’s a private Museum of Collectibles. For me, it was a milestone, and we have over 12,00 artefacts and jewellery pieces from the 17th and 18th centuries on display.
