GJSCI announces the election of its Chairman at a meeting held on 15th October, 2024, where the Board of Directors of GJSCI elected Mr. Milan Chokshi to take over this position. 

GJSCI’s immediate past Chairman Shri. Adil Kotwal has contributed significantly towards GJSCI.  JOSH being his pet project has grown significantly under his vision.  Moving from a restricted space to the sprawling Bharat Ratnam CFC within SEEPZ was due to the efforts of Shri. Adil Kotwal.  He has been very involved in the activities at JOSH, and under his leadership a new division for Specially Abled Persons (SAP) came into existence.  GJSCI is very grateful to him for his support and guidance over the last two years.

Shri. Milan Chokshi has been a familiar name in the industry, more popular for his brand Moksh.  He is a 4th generation gemmologist and at the helm of affairs at Tanvirkumar & Co., which is his family’s 76-year-old business.  He is the director of Bullion Operations at Diamond India Limited, India’s leading nominated agency for gold. He has been an active member of the COA of the Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council.  and is also currently the Convener — marketing, promotions and business development at the Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC).  

The cause of education is close to his heart, and he is a managing committee member at Each One Teach One, a 30-year-old NGO supporting the holistic needs of over 10,000 students from underprivileged backgrounds.  He is also the Chairman of the Indian Institute of Gems & Jewellery (IIGJ) Mumbai, an institute run by GJEPC.  

GJSCI looks forward to soar to greater heights under the leadership of Shri. Milan Chokshi, an industry stalwart and the youngest Chairman so far.  His enthusiasm would surely foster the objective of skilling the youth of the nation and facilitate industry support.
