Jhaveri is the only director of the subject.  He is a Hong Kong ID Card holder and has got the right to reside in Hong Kong permanently.

 

The subject’s operating office is located at Room 505, 5/F., Beverley Commercial Centre, 87-105 Chatham Road South, Tsimshatsui, Kowloon, Hong Kong.

 

The subject is a diamond trader.  It has got an associated company Rose Jewels Ltd. [Rose] located at the same operating address.  Rose and the subject are engaged in the same lines of business.

 

It also has got an affiliated company in India known as Pal Gems.  The subject is a diamond importer, exporter and wholesaler.  It is engaged in manufacturing loose diamonds like marquise, pears, tappers, buggets and rose cut diamonds.  The subject imports loose, polished and cut diamonds from India.  Pal Gems seems to be its main supplier.  It is likely that Agarwal in India is administrating the business of Pal Gems.  The subject markets its products in Hong Kong, exports to India, Japan, Southeast Asia, etc.  Business has been normal.  It made a small profit in the past two years.

 

Besides Pal Gems, the subject has had another affiliate P.K. Impex. 

 

P.K. Impex is also a diamond trader located at Flat E, 6/F., Cameron Plaza, 23‑25 Cameron Road, Tsimshatsui, Kowloon, Hong Kong where was Jhaveri’s old registered address in Hong Kong.

 

The subject’s business is chiefly handled by Jhaveri himself.  History is over four years in Hong Kong.

On the whole, consider it good for normal business engagements in small credit amounts.

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.
