1. What is the biggest opportunity you see for Indo-French business collaboration by 2030? Please let us know how your company/organisation is preparing for it.

France has long been recognised as the global benchmark for luxury. It represents refinement, storytelling, and an almost disciplined devotion to elegance. India carries a different but equally powerful strength: a profound depth of ancestral artistry.

Craftsmanship — whether in intricate jewellery-making or textile weaving— has been developed over centuries and refined patiently, often by hands that learned from their grandfathers.

The greatest opportunity for Indo-French collaboration by 2030 is the creation of a new global luxury language — one that merges French sophistication and design sensibility with Indian craftsmanship and cultural depth. 

If France perfects the silhouette, India perfects the spirit.

HARAKH, inspired by Indian heritage, is preparing for this by strengthening our high jewellery positioning through world-class design, uncompromising sourcing standards, and a deep commitment to artisanal excellence. When French luxury discipline meets Indian artistry, the outcome is not simply a collaboration — it becomes evolution.

2. In today’s evolving global landscape, how are you building resilience and agility in your leadership strategy?

The luxury industry today is evolving rapidly — shaped by global uncertainty, shifting consumer expectations, and extraordinary advances in technology, particularly artificial intelligence.

At HARAKH, resilience and agility come from one clear mindset: embracing progress while protecting craftsmanship. 
We see innovation as an enabler, not a disruption. Technology enhances design precision, strengthens communication with clients, and accelerates bespoke development — where clarity matters just as much as creativity.

AI allows clients to visualise a piece with remarkable realism before it is crafted. It builds trust and involvement. We firmly see technology as a support and enhancement to the artisan — rather than replacement or elimination. 
Interestingly enough, one of our best selling pieces from the Drops of JOY collection is called “Resilience,” - so Resilience is not just part of our strategy; it is literally part of our vocabulary. For us, resilience means evolving without compromising identity. Agility means adapting while staying rooted in values.

Luxury must move forward — but it must remember who it is.

3. With sustainability and innovation now essential to business success, could you share some recent initiatives your company has undertaken in these areas?

Sustainability is not a trend for us — it has been part of HARAKH’s DNA since the brand was founding, and long before that through our family’s legacy in the diamond and jewellery world for over a century.

Growing up in a Jain household, spirituality and sustainability were never separate concepts. Respect for life and resources was simply a way of thinking. At HARAKH, we naturally view luxury through that lens.

Our initiatives include incorporating recycled gold, exploring plant-based alternatives to traditional leather, moving toward a plastic-free ecosystem by 2031, and committing to carbon neutrality by 2030 through carbon-conscious logistics and operational efficiencies.
We are also exploring partnerships with NGOs focused on afforestation and environmental awareness. But perhaps the most meaningful initiative is education — encouraging our teams and partners to think consciously about how luxury can become more compassionate.

We believe the future of luxury is not only about beauty. It is about beauty with responsibility.
After all, true luxury should leave an impression — not the wrong “footprint”

4. With 2026 being celebrated as the Indo-French Year of Innovation, how do you envision this initiative creating new opportunities for growth and collaboration?

The Indo-French Year of Innovation in 2026 reflects a deeper alignment between two cultures that shape global influence in complementary ways — France through design leadership and refined luxury codes, and India through craftsmanship, creativity, and accelerating technological capability.

This alignment creates meaningful opportunity for high jewellery. It allows innovation in AI, sustainability, and precision craftsmanship to elevate the bespoke experience — making it more personalised, transparent, and collaborative.

Innovation, in my view, is not only about technology. It is about perspective. When two cultures that value artistry meet with mutual respect, creativity expands naturally. And sometimes, beautifully.

5. As a CEO, how do you view India's role in your global growth strategy and what strategic advantages does the country offer your business or the industry you operate in?

Answer: India is a nothing short of a treasure of artistry that the world is increasingly recognising. Every corner of the country boasts of different skills  - The depth of craftsmanship — particularly in high jewellery and  textile weaving — is exceptional. These skills have been passed down through generations, forming the foundation of true luxury creation.India offers something rare: technical mastery paired with cultural meaning. That combination gives jewellery soul.

HARAKH is a global brand deeply inspired by its Indian heritage — its symbolism, philosophy, and reverence for craftsmanship.

As the CEO of a high jewellery house, I feel deeply fortunate to have access to such extraordinarily skilled artisans.. More importantly, I feel responsible — to present India to the world not only as a source of skill, but as a source of meaning.

And in luxury, inspiration is everything. Without it, we simply manufacture objects. With it, we create emotion.
