The award is in recognition of his achievements in business, contributions to the gemstone and jewellery trade, and philanthropic efforts
The Jewellery World Awards (JWA) has announced that the KGK group chairman Navrattan Kothari has been chosen as the winner of the Lifetime Achievement Award.
The award is in recognition of his achievements in business, contributions to the gemstone and jewellery trade, and philanthropic efforts.
Building on his family’s existing gemstone trading business, Kothari has helped “pave the way” for KGK’s subsequent growth into a global market that covers the entire spectrum of mining, sourcing, manufacturing, distribution and retailing diamonds and coloured stones.
JWA will officially present Kothari’s award in the gala dinner, which will be held at JGT Dubai (Jewellery Gem Technology Dubai) on 21 February 2022.
Letitia Chow, chairperson and founder of JWA at Informa Markets Jewellery, said: “Since the 1960s, Kothari has been working tirelessly, not just to elevate the KGK Group, but also to inspire excellence in the jewellery and gemstone trade through his roles in key industry organisations.”
Kothari added: “I would like to sincerely thank the JWA for bestowing upon me such an honour.
“It truly encourages me, as well as members of the KGK team, to work harder towards reaching our goals and pursuing initiatives that could positively impact the business landscape, the environment and society as a whole.”
