Pramod Agarwal has been appointed as the chairman of GJEPC, while Colin Shah has been appointed as the vice-chairman for the year 2017-19. Agarwal will take over the reigns from the outgoing chairman Praveenshanker Pandya.
Vipul Shah, former chairman of GJEPC was contesting against Pramod Agarwal, who lost with a margin of 350 votes. The GJEPC has around 1,800 voting members from across the country.
Pramod Agarwal, who is the chairman of Jaipur-based Derewala Group, with his expertise, passion and determination is constantly working towards fulfilling his dream of providing International quality products with emphasis on value for money. After having won encomiums across the globe for over two decades, he expanded the group's business in the Indian market.
Besides being dedicatedly involved in the business and its operations, he spends his time working with jewellery trade associations for the overall benefit of the industry. He is the Chairman of Indian Institute of Gem and Jewellery, Jaipur (a project of GJEPC). He is also a Member of Committee of Administration (COA) of GJEPC, Board of Director of All India Gems and Jewellery Trade Federation (GJF) and Executive Member of Jewellers Association, Jaipur.
"My special emphasis would be to facilitate a stable taxation for diamond through presumptive taxation, reduction on GST rate for cut and polished diamonds and colour gemstones. GST rate on gold and silver too needs to be withdrawn for export purposes. Me and my team would also work towards exploring new resources of raw diamonds and colour gemstones while streamlining their consistent supply. Generic diamond promotion is a must for the industry. Hand-crafted jewellery industry, too, needs to be strengthened," said Pramod Agarwal, newly-elected chairman for GJEPC.
