GENERAL

 

Ananyaa Trading is a sole proprietorship set up and owned by Mr. Sudhakar Keshav Pujari who is an Indian.  He is a Hong Kong ID Card holder and has got the right to reside in Hong Kong permanently.

The subject commenced business in February 2008.  Its registered address is located at Flat H, 17/F., Block 2, Royal Peninsula, 8 Hung Lai Road, Hunghom, Kowloon, Hong Kong.  This office is not in a commercial building but a residential building.  It is likely that Pujari has moved to this new address but does not make any amendments on the subject’s registration materials.  It seems that the subject’s operating address is also Pujari’s residential address.  The subject’s old registered address was also the registered residential address of Pujari.  The residential building is not trespassed by outsiders.  It has no employees in Hong Kong.

The subject is a gemstone and diamond trader.  It is carrying the following semi-precious stones: aquamarine, pink amethyst, rubylite, green amethyst, blue topaz, lemon topaz, citrine, smokey topaz, kunzite, peridot, morganite, pink tourmalines, amethyst, pink topaz, garnet, rose quartz, etc.  Commodities are chiefly imported from India, Sri Lanka, Thailand, etc.  Prime markets are Hong Kong, Japan, other Asian countries, etc.  The subject is also a commission agent.

Besides gem stones, the subject also trades in loose, cut and polished diamonds, diamond and jewellery products, gold and silver products, etc.  Business has been improving.

Business chiefly handled by Pujari himself, the subject is just a one-man company.  History in Hong Kong is just over three years and ten months.

On the whole, since the registered office of the subject is in a residential building, consider it good for normal business engagements on L/C basis for the time being.

 

DIAMOND INDUSTRY – INDIA

 

-          From time immemorial, India is well known in the world as the birthplace for diamonds.  It is difficult to trace the origin of diamonds but history says that in the remote past, diamonds were mined only in India. Diamond production in India can be traced back to almost 8th Century B.C.  India, in fact, remained undisputed leader till 18th Century when Brazilian fields were discovered in 1725 followed by emergence of S. Africa, Russia and Australia.

-          The achievement of the Indian diamond industry was possible only due to combination of the manufacturing skills of the Indian workforce and the untiring and unflagging efforts of the Indian diamantaires, supported by progressive Government policies.

-          The area of study of family owned diamond businesses derives its importance from the huge conglomerate of family run organizations which operate in the diamond industry since many generations.

-          Some of the basic traits of family run business enterprises include spirit of entrepreneurship, mutual trust lowers transaction costs, small, nimble and quick to react, information as a source of advantage and philanthropy.

-          Family owned diamond businesses need to improve on many fronts including higher standard of corporate governance, long-term performance – focused strategies, modern management and technology.

-          The diamond jewellery industry in India today may be more than Rs 60000 mil and is rated amongst the fastest growing  in the world. Indi ranks third in the world in domestic diamond consumption.

-          Utmost caution is to be exercised while dealing with some medium and large diamond traders which are usually engaged in fictitious import – export, inter-company transactions, financially assisted by banks. In the process, several public sector banks lost several hundred million rupees. They mostly diverted borrowed money for diamond business into real estate and capital markets.

-          Excerpts from Times of India dated 30th October 2010 is as under –

 

DIAMOND SAGA – DIRTY DOZEN STUCK WITH 2K CR DEBT

This could be the biggest credibility crisis the Indian diamond industry has ever faced. Fifteen banks run the risk of losing Rs 2000 crore lent to a dozen diamond firms in Surat. Until about two months ago, they had not repaid  these dues. Bankers believe many diamantaires borrowed money during the economic downturn two years ago and diverted funds to businesses like real estate and capital markets. Many of themselves made money from these businesses but their diamond companies have gone sick and declared insolvency.

-          Most of the money borrowed from the banks in the name of their diamond business has been diverted in real estate and the share market. The banks are not in a position to seize their properties because in many cases, these were purchased in the name of their relatives and friends.
