With a family history in the Indian jewellery industry dating back to the 1960s, it’s no wonder that Jatin Mehta is now one of the trade’s most notable success stories. Boasting a particular passion for diamonds, Jatin decided to pursue his love of jewellery as a professional at an early age and worked towards this goal by gaining a Bachelor of Commerce from the Hassaram Rijhumal College of Commerce and Economics in Mumbai. This achievement provided him with the ground work to combine his passion with an innovative business proposal and in 1985, Jatin achieved the first step on his road to success by founding Su-Raj Diamonds (India) Limited.
Known as India’s first publicly listed diamond trading company, Su-Raj Diamonds held Jatin Mehta at its helm for a total of 25 years, during which time it achieved multiple accolades. Amongst these awards was the Diamontaire of the Year award, which was given to the firm during the year of its creation. Additionally, the company went on to gain a number of export achievements, including awards for Outstanding Export Performance from the Gem and Jewellery Export Promotion Council.
Despite his commitments within Su-Raj Diamonds, Jatin Mehta continued to achieve personal success outside of the company. During his time in India, Jatin was named as chairman of a number of quasi-governmental bodies including the SEZ EOU Export Promotion Council. Additionally, Jatin was named the youngest ever chairman of the Gem and Jewellery Export Promotion Council - a role he held between 1989 and 1993.
In 2011, following many years of success with Su-Raj Diamonds, Jatin Mehta decided it was time to pursue other opportunities and travelled to the United Arab Emirates. Within just one year, Jatin had become a top industry name once more after founding Pride Jewellery FZE, which now successfully trades in both gold and diamonds. Jatin has also taken the chance to pass on his many years of industry knowledge and regularly provides professionals and trade hopefuls from across the region with valuable business consultancy services.
