Held on 10 January 2026, the session was facilitated by Nitin Khandelwal, Regional Director, GJEPC.<\/p>\n<p>The discussion opened with insights from Jatin Bhargava, Channel Head India, Alibaba, who highlighted the importance of structured categorisation in B2B e-commerce. By segmenting jewellery into clear sub-categories such as fine jewellery, diamond jewellery, lab-grown diamonds, gold, silver and imitation jewellery, Alibaba enables precise buyer queries and demand-led seller engagement, supported by minimum order quantities and targeted communication.<\/p>\n<p>Neha Kejriwal, Category Lead, eBay, focused on trust as the cornerstone of B2C e-commerce. She underlined the need for strict compliance, accurate product descriptions and use of platform-led tools such as authenticity guarantees and integrated global shipping. Leveraging existing marketplace infrastructure, she noted, reduces friction for exporters entering international markets.<\/p>\n<p>From a curated auction perspective, Jan Van Dierman, Senior Vice President, Catawiki, advised sellers to start with a focused assortment aligned to their strengths. Consistency, fulfilment discipline and long-term commitment were highlighted as essential to building buyer confidence and repeat demand.<\/p>\n<p>Logistics and compliance formed a key part of the discussion. Sandeep Juneja, Vice President \u2013 Sales and Marketing, DHL, positioned logistics as a growth enabler rather than a cost, stressing the importance of correct HS codes, transparent landed costs and robust documentation. Ravinder Panthri, Managing Director, FedEx, reinforced that time-definite and fully trackable express logistics are critical for high-value jewellery shipments where reliability directly impacts customer trust.<\/p>\n<p>The session concluded with a clear takeaway: successful jewellery e-commerce growth depends on trust, compliance and sustained commitment, supported by strong marketplace partnerships and reliable global logistics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A session on Scaling E-Commerce Jewellery Businesses on Marketplaces examined how Indian gems and jewellery companies can unlock cross-border digital trade by leveraging global platforms and compliant logistics frameworks.
