Our close collaboration with GJEPC underscores our commitment to raising awareness and promoting Indian jewellery. In the Qatari market, numerous Indian jewellers are already engaged, either independently or through various partnerships and retailers. Thus, there is already a strong level of brand recognition and appreciation for the quality of Indian jewellery within Qatar.”
