Mr. Venkat, Accounts Executive denied to provide any information about
the subject to us. As per indirect source, we found that the subject was started long
back in 1900 as a partnership concern engaged into trading of jewellery. The ratings also take into consideration the vast experience of the
promoters. Trade relation seems to be fair. Business is active. Payment terms are
unknown. In view of lack of financial details, the subject can be considered
for business dealings with some caution. |

INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
N E W S
The economy grew 4.7 %in 2013/14, marking a
second straight year of sub-5 % growth – the worst slowdown in more than a
quarter of a century. The data was below an official estimate of 4.9 % annual
growth and compared with 4.5 % in the last fiscal year. However, the current
account deficit narrowed sharply to $ 32.4 billion at 1.7 % of gross domestic
product, in 2013/14 from a record high of $ 98.8 billion or 4.7 %, the year
before.A sharp fall in gold imports due to restrictions on overseas purchases
and muted import of capital goods helped shrink the current account deficit.
Online retailer Flipkart has acquired fashion
portal Myntra as it prepares to battle with the rapidly expanding India arm of
the global e-commerce giant Amazon. The company raised $ 210 million from
Russian Investment firm DST Global which has also invested in companies like
Facebook, Twitter and Alibaba Group.
General Motors will start exporting vehicles
from its Talegaon plant near Pune in the second half of 2014. GM was one of the
few global carmakers that was using its India plant only for the domestic
market.
Google has overtaken Apple as the world’s top
brand in terms of value, according to global market research agency Millward
Brown. Google’s brand value shot up 40 % in a year to $ 158.84 billion. The top
10 of the 100 slots were dominated by US companies.
Infosys lost another heavy weight when B G
Srinivas, a board member put in his papers. He is the third CEO-hopeful to quit
after Chairman N R Narayana Murthy’s return to the company – Ashok Vemuri and V
Balakrishnan being the other two.While Vemuri went on to lead IGate,
Balakrishnan joined politics.
Naresh Goyal – promoted Jet Airways posted

Amway India was arrested by the Andhra Pradesh Police in connection with a complaint
against the direct selling firm. This is the second time that he has been taken
into custody. A year, ago the Kerala Police had arrested Pinckney and two
company directors on charges of financial irregularities.
China has told its state-owned enterprises to
sever links with American consulting firms after the United States charged five
Chinese military officers wih hacking US companies. China’s action which
targets consultancies like McKinsey & Co. and the Boston Consulting Group,
sterns from fears that the first are providing trade secrets to the US
governments.
India has emerged as a country with some of
the highest unregistered businesses in the world. Indonesia has the maximum

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.
-
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 –
-
Gem and Jewellery Export Promotion Council in its
statistical data has shown the export of polished diamonds to have increase by
28 % in February 2013. Compared to $ 1.4 bn worth of polished diamond export in
February, 2012, India exported $ 1.84 billion worth of polished diamonds in
February 2013. A senior executive of GJEPC said, “Export of cut and polished
diamonds started falling month-wise after the imposition of 2 % of import duty
on the polished diamonds. But February, 2013 has given a new ray of hope to the
industry as the export of polished diamonds has actually increased by 28 %. It
means the industry is on the track of recovery and round tripping of
diamonds has stopped completely.” Demand has started coming from the US, the
UK, Japan and China. India’s polished diamond export is expected to cross $ 21
bn in 2013-14.
The banking sector has started exercising restraint while following
prudent risk management norms when lending money to gems and jewellery sector.
This follows the implementation of Basel III accord – a global voluntary
regulatory standard on bank capital adequacy, stress testing and market
liquidity.
NEWS:
VUMMIDI BANGARU JEWELLERS PARTNERS WITH AVT LIFESTYLE
PRODUCTS TO LAUNCH ONLINE JEWELLERY PORTAL ZA AMOR
04, MAY 2014
CHENNAI:
Chennai-based Vummidi Bangaru
Jewellers (VBJ) and AVT Lifestyle Products have together launched Za Amor (zaamor.com), an ecommerce portal to sell
diamond jewellery.
AVT will take care of the tech-related aspects
and manage the portal while VBJ will bring in the expertise from the jewellery
sector.
Za Amor targets the daily wear and the gifting
segment and working women who purchase diamond jewellery. The portal will have
a range of designs that will be available exclusively on the site and will also
manufacture and sell jewellery pieces on order by the customer, said V
Thiyagarajan, co-founder of the portal.
Since the concept of buying high-value gold jewellery
online is still at a nascent stage, the company is also planning to have a few
offline touchpoints where customers can 'touch and feel' the products.
Za Amor is planning to tie up with retailers and
supermarket chains for an agreement where the portal would ship the products
after a customer makes a request so that the customer can go to the store and
see the product.
The portal has tied up with five manufacturers
who will design and manufacture the jewellery for Za Amor and is in talk with
four more, Amarendra Vummidi, managing director of Za Amor, said. It has tied
up with DHL for logistics support and with National Insurance for insuring the
jewellery.
AVT and VBJ together have invested about Rs
100.000 millions in the venture, of which Rs 60.000 millions goes toward
jewellery inventory.
