ABOUT NAVRATTAN KOTHARI

Mr. Navrattan Kothari, Chairman, KGK Group has been managing the group for over 50 years and under his guidance KGK has turned into a world-class business conglomerate with state of the art infrastructure. Under the able guidance of Mr. Navrattan Kothari, the KGK group has expanded far and wide. In the beginning business concentrated on colored gemstones trading, Mr. Kothari opened new avenues for the flourishing business. He introduced diamond trading in the year 1972-73 that proved to be a turning point in the history of KGK Group. Today the group has diamond manufacturing units in India, South Africa, Russia and Botswana; jewellery manufacturing in India, Hong Kong, USA, Thailand & China and gemstone manufacturing in India, China and Thailand — catering to varied customers. The group sources rough diamonds directly from De Beers, being a sightholder, Alrosa and Rio Tinto Diamonds, being top 3 diamond mining companies of the world. What started with trading of coloured gemstones has now attained great heights with Mr. Kothari’s zeal, vision and persistence. After setting benchmarks in first trading of diamond and gemstones, and then manufacturing of gems and jewellery, the group’s recent foray into retailing under the astute leadership of his son, Mr Sanjay Kothari, with its brand ‘Entice’ is yet another milestone achieved by the group.
