GJEPC Targets 20% Export Boost to UAE with IGJS Dubai 2024 in FY 24-25


Dubai, October 8, 2024 — The 4th edition of the International Gem & Jewellery Show (IGJS) Dubai commenced today, hosted by the Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC) of India. This exclusive event, co-sponsored by Suntech Business Solutions and supported by the Dubai Gold & Jewellery Group, brings together the finest of Indian gems and jewellery, reinforcing India's position as a premier destination for global buyers.

The inauguration ceremony of IGJS Dubai 2024 was graced by esteemed dignitaries, including Mr. Satish Kumar Sivan, Consul General of India, Dubai; Mr. Kirit Bhansali, Vice Chairman of GJEPC; Mr. Chandu Siroya, Vice Chairman of the Dubai Gold & Jewellery Group; Mr. Tamjid Abdullah, Group Deputy CEO, Jawhara Jewellery, UAE; Mr. KP Abdul Salam, Vice-Chairman, Malabar Gold & Diamonds; and Mr. Ramesh Vora, GJEPC Middle East Coordinators; Mr. Nirav Bhansali, Convener of National Exhibitions at GJEPC; and Mr. Sabyasachi Ray, Executive Director of GJEPC. Their presence underscored the significance of this event and highlighted the collaborative spirit driving the gem and jewellery industry between India and the UAE.

 

Mr. Satish Kumar Sivan, Consul General of India, Dubai, said, “The gem and jewellery sector is a key focus for both the UAE and India as they aim to significantly boost their non-oil trade. The two nations are working towards a goal of reaching $100 billion in bilateral non-oil trade. This progress has been made possible by the dynamic growth of the gem and jewellery trade in 2023-24, which accounted for USD 28 billion and emerged as the most traded commodity between India and the UAE during this period. It is encouraging to witness the impressive growth of India’s gem and jewellery exports to the UAE following the India-UAE CEPA. In 2023-24, India's exports in this sector surged by 40%, reaching USD 8 billion.

 

Mr. Chandu Siroya, Vice Chairman of the Dubai Gold & Jewellery Group, said, “The UAE and India must leverage the CEPA pact—the IGJS show represents the best of both worlds. Dubai stands as the ultimate jewellery distribution destination, while India boasts competitive production capabilities. This partnership is set for success, fueled by Dubai’s favorable laws and ease of doing business. As we enter the festive season, the mood for buying jewellery is at an all-time high.”

 

In his welcome address, Mr. Kirit Bhansali, Vice Chairman of GJEPC, expressed his delight at the show's growth, stating, “IGJS Dubai has become a cornerstone event for the region, strengthened by the India-UAE CEPA agreement, which has opened doors to deeper partnerships and new growth opportunities. In 2023, India’s jewellery exports to the UAE reached USD 8 billion, with plain gold jewellery exports surging by 102% and studded jewellery by 25%. We are also witnessing rising demand from key Middle Eastern markets such as Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Oman. IGJS Dubai has played a pivotal role in fulfilling the evolving needs of these markets.”

 

The event features 30 leading manufacturers showcasing stunning diamond-studded, gemstone-studded, and gold jewellery, attracting over 300 international buyers from the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Kuwait, UK, USA, Africa, and Russia, enhancing the global reach of this prestigious show.

Kirit Bhansali further added, “As you all know, the global gem and jewellery industry is currently facing challenges, with reduced demand in key consuming markets like the USA and China. It is pertinent for global stakeholders across the supply chain to make concerted efforts to increase the demand for jewellery as a product category.  India, as the key player in the mid-stream segment, is taking steps to boost demand across key regions. We are collaborating with De Beers and Natural Diamond Council for the generic promotion of diamonds and diamond jewellery, and partnering with the World Gold Council to drive demand for gold jewellery.

These efforts are essential to ensuring we capture a fair share of consumer spending in the competitive luxury market.”

 

Mr. Nirav Bhansali acknowledged the UAE’s importance, driven by its growing consumer base and flourishing tourism sector, which is fast becoming a major hub for jewellery sales. He also noted key regional initiatives like Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 and Qatar’s Tourism Strategy 2030, which will significantly boost market demand.

"India’s unmatched expertise in jewellery craftsmanship, combined with the UAE’s thriving market, ensures that together we can meet the ever-growing demand for high-quality, ethically made jewellery in the region and beyond,” said Mr. Nirav Bhansali.

 

To strengthen its trade ties with the UAE, GJEPC has set up the India Jewellery Exposition (IJEX) in Dubai, a dedicated B2B platform that enables GJEPC members to display their products and receive orders from UAE buyers all year round. Additionally, the Council organizes 20 India Pavilions across trade fairs around the year.

North Bombay Sarbojanin Durga Puja Samiti Unveils the Majestic Grandeur of Durga Puja 2024 in its 77th Year at their new venue SNDT Ground, Santa Cruz with Protima (Murti) Sthapna

Sthapna saw the presence of Debuda, Krishna Mukherjee, Iose Bovna, Samrat Mukherjee,  Rita Bhattacharya, Arjun, Paramita Sarkar, Kasturi Banerjjee, Sauvik Banerjjee, Paromita Sarkar, Sushmita Daan, Sheela Banerjee, Prasun Sikdar & Many More.


North Bombay Sarbojanin Durga Puja Samiti, a beacon of tradition and culture in Mumbai, is poised to dazzle devotees and visitors with the splendour of its 77th-year celebrations. One of the oldest and most revered Durga Puja events in the city, this year promises an unforgettable spectacle, blending spirituality, art, and culture at its newly adorned venue—SNDT, Juhu Tara Rd, Daulat Nagar, Santacruz (West), Mumbai, Maharashtra 400049.

At the heart of the celebrations stands an awe-inspiring 18-foot idol of Goddess Durga, meticulously crafted by master artisans brought in from Kolkata, ensuring the most authentic and breathtaking representation of the deity. Accompanying Maa Durga are the intricately sculpted idols of Saraswati, Lakshmi, Kartik, and Ganesh, together creating a divine tableau that embodies the essence of devotion. What distinguishes this celebration is its unwavering commitment to tradition.

In a bold and creative shift, this year’s theme is inspired by the captivating beauty of Morocco. Devotees will be transported to a world where traditional Durga Puja rituals harmoniously blend with the allure of Moroccan artistry, infusing the celebration with a unique global flavour.
North Bombay Sarbojanin Durga Puja is fondly known as the Bollywood Durga Puja of India. With celebs like Kajol, Rani Mukerji, Hrithik Roshan, Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan, Mouni Roy, Ashutosh Gowariker and many more seeking maa Durga’s blessings.

A key highlight is the biggest bhog service in India. Where more than 10,000 people gather under one roof in a spacious, air-conditioned dome to partake in the sacred meal. What sets this experience apart is the Samiti's ethos of inclusivity—everyone, regardless of caste, colour, or financial background, is invited to relish the bhog, served by the hands of Bollywood’s biggest celebrities, alongside members of the committee. This beautiful tradition reflects the core belief that in Maa Durga’s home, everyone is equal.

In keeping with its legacy of extraordinary cultural programs, the pandal will come alive with performances by some of the nation’s most celebrated singers. This year’s star-studded lineup includes Daler Mehndi, Pritam and Pawandeep Rajan, and many more, who will take to the stage to offer their soulful renditions in devotion to Maa Durga. The evening performances are a much-anticipated part of the celebrations, adding a melodic tribute to the divine atmosphere.

However, due to the convergence of Ashtami and Navami on the same day, bhog will only be served on two special days—October 10th and 11th. Despite this limited schedule, the bhog remains a culinary highlight, prepared with love and care by expert cooks. The traditional menu includes rice, khichdi, an array of sweets, exotic vegetables, and a delightful assortment of chutneys, ensuring an authentic and flavorful feast for all devotees.

Hygiene and cleanliness are of the utmost priority, with a dedicated housekeeping team ensuring that all facilities, including the restrooms, remain spotless and dry, offering a comfortable environment for the vast crowd of attendees.

With an expected footfall of lakhs of people, this year’s Durga Puja celebration will be nothing short of a grand spectacle. The enduring legacy of the North Bombay Sarbojanin Durga Puja Samiti, now in its 77th year, continues to shine as a symbol of unity, devotion, and the timeless spirit of celebration.

Founded in 1948, the North Bombay Sarbojanin Durga Puja Trust boasts a rich history, established by legendary figures like Shri Sasadhar Mukerji, Ashok Kumar, Kishore Kumar, Bimal Roy, Hemant Kumar, S.D. Burman, Joy Mukerji, Pradeep Kumar, Ram Mukerji, and others.

In the words of the members of the North Bombay Sarbojanin Durga Puja Samiti: “We welcome everyone to our Pujo to seek Maa’s blessings. This year’s celebrations will be bigger, better, and grandeur than ever before”

नवरात्रोत्सवात होणार स्त्रीशक्तीचा जागर, अनुश्री फिल्म्स प्रस्तुत तीन लघुपट प्रेक्षकांच्या भेटीला

 Streeshakti's Jagar to be held during Navratri festival, Anushree Films presented three short films to the audience

Anushree Films presented three short films based on women empowerment



There is an auspicious atmosphere of Navratri festival everywhere. Anushree Films presents Devi, both of them, to celebrate Navratri festival And three conceptual short films Shalinie's Home Kitchen are being released. In these short films, you will get to experience the worship of Goddess, her power and devotion on the holy festival of Navratri. The subjects of all the three short films are different and each one seems to convey a different message. These short films have been produced by Mayur Tatuskar. The short films are written and directed by Shubham Ghatge. In the short film 'Devi' Amrita Suresh, Sougya Upadhyay and in the short film 'Tya Doghi' Aishwarya Vakhre, Saili Geetha, Keshav Deshpande and in the short film 'Shaliniz Home Kitchen' Surbhi Dhamal, Saurabh Ahir, Kumar Patole have played the roles. The photography of these short films has been done by Avirat Patil. Also art direction is done by Piyusha Chalke, sound is by Shreyas Kirad and Tushar Kangarkar and assistant direction is by Amitabh Bhawar and executive production is by Parag Jadhav.

Mayur Tatuskar, producer of Anushree Films, talks about the concept of short films, “Navratri is a celebration of woman power. The creation of three short films during this period is related to the same purpose, as the theme of women's empowerment seems to be more important during this period. We are trying to convey the message of love, religious significance, adventure, devotion and inspiration through this festival. These short films have been conceptualized by me and my friend Shubham Ghatge who played an important role in Anushree Films' previous hit song Bhav Bhakti Vithoba while executing this theme of Jagar Stree Shakti in this Navratri festival, bringing together different ideologies and stories to focus on. It was desired, a discussion began and this led to the development of these three stories.”

Writer-director Shubham Ghatge says about the shooting of the short film, “Devi, a short film, was shot at the unique and beautiful location of Someshwar Mandir in Pashan, where innovation, traditionality and modernity meet. Both that and the short films Shaliniz Home Kitchen were shot in Pune. The experience of filming was unforgettable, and the hard work of the actors and technicians gave us a very vivid and impressive portrayal. There was depth and emotion in every moment, making the experience searing. I hope the audience will appreciate all three short films.”

Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai’s Aasif Sheikh and Rohitashv Gour Steal the Show at Lal Quila’s Grand Ramlila Celebrations!

 Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai’s Aasif Sheikh and Rohitashv

Gour Steal the Show at Lal Quila’s Grand Ramlila

Celebrations!


New Delhi, 5 October 2024: The iconic Luv Kush Ramlila at Lal Quila, celebrated for

its stunning grandeur and lively atmosphere, once again captivated the capital,

drawing thousands of devotees and fans eager to witness the epic tale of Lord Ram's

victory. This year’s event was made even more special by the presence of &TV's

beloved and popular Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai actors, Aasif Sheikh aka Vibhuti Narayan

Mishra and Rohitashv Gour aka Manmohan Tiwari. The talented artists not only

attended the celebrations but also became a highlight of the festivities, much to the

audience's delight. Aasif Sheikh, who has strong ties to Delhi, was touched by the

city's warm welcome. Expressing his joy, Aasif Sheikh aka Vibhuti Mishra shared,

“Every time I return to Delhi, it feels like a homecoming. Being part of the Ramlila is

truly humbling, and the energy here is electric! As a child, I watched this very Ramlila

from the audience, dreaming of being on stage. To now stand here as a guest of

honour is surreal. This experience was made even more special with my co-star,

Rohitashv Gour, by my side. We indulged in some of Delhi’s beloved traditions, from

enjoying the delicious chhole bhature to exploring the lively local markets. Although I

usually stick to a strict diet, I couldn’t resist making an exception today. Delhi always

wins when it comes to food. I might be disciplined about my diet, but here, all bets

are off! I had to enjoy the chaat and other street delicacies, though I tried to keep the

portions in check (laughs). The memories I’m taking home will always be special. Delhi

has once again captured my heart.”

Rohitashv Gour aka Manmohan Tiwari, reflecting on his bond with the city, shared

how nostalgic this visit had been. He said, “Delhi holds a special place in my heart.

The moment we stepped on stage, the crowd's roar gave me chills. The love we

received from fans was truly magical. The Luv Kush Ramlila is an unparalleled

experience. The scale of the production, the audience's energy, and the way this city

celebrates its traditions are awe-inspiring. I will always cherish my connection with

Delhi, and this trip has been unforgettable. Celebrating the Luv Kush Ramlila, one of

the country’s largest and most renowned Ramlila events, with Aasif Ji added an extra

spark to the festivities. Fans couldn’t get enough of us as they mingled, took photos,

and shared memories, all while soaking in the vibrant atmosphere. During my time at

the National School of Drama, I was so focused on my craft that I rarely explored the

city. But coming back with Aasif Ji, who is like the perfect tour guide, has been a

wonderful experience.”

Manmohan Tiwari on Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai, airing every Monday to Friday at 10:30

हॉलीवुड और बॉलीवुड की मुलाकात एक दिल दहला देने वाली वैश्विक थ्रिलर में – रयान कर्टिस की एक बेहतरीन कृति “FrAImed” एक बहुभाषी वैश्विक फिल्म है जो सिनेमाई परिदृश्य को फिर से परिभाषित करने के लिए तैयार है

हॉलीवुड और बॉलीवुड की मुलाकात एक दिल दहला देने वाली वैश्विक थ्रिलर में – रयान कर्टिस की एक बेहतरीन कृति “FrAImed” एक बहुभाषी वैश्विक फिल्म है जो सिनेमाई परिदृश्य को फिर से परिभाषित करने के लिए तैयार है


स्कॉट जेड एडलर, रयान कर्टिस, जस्टिन फोल्गर, हरि विष्णु, वी नेहा शर्मा, राकेश जावेरी, हर्षवीर श्रीवास्तव, आशीष माथुर, राजेश पांडे और वामन चालना चित्रा स्टूडियो (वीसीसी स्टूडियो) के सीएमओ अशित शर्मा ने मीडिया को संबोधित किया। इस कार्यक्रम में सोनिया बिरजे, बीएन तिवारी भी मौजूद थे

साज़िश, रहस्य और सिनेमाई भव्यता के एक सिम्फनी में, रयान कर्टिस ने अपनी महान कृति, “FrAImed” की घोषणा की – एक विस्फोटक कथा जो सत्य की अथक खोज के साथ उच्च-ऑक्टेन एक्शन की नब्ज़ को मिलाती है। दूरदर्शी कर्टिस द्वारा निर्देशित, यह अंतर्राष्ट्रीय महाकाव्य एक ऐसी कहानी को सामने लाता है जो सीमाओं को पार करती है, जिसमें जीवित रहने की दृढ़ इच्छाशक्ति के साथ मानवीय कमज़ोरी की कच्ची भावना का मिश्रण है।

फिल्म वितरण भारत के प्रसिद्ध वामन चलाना चित्रा स्टूडियोज और कैसाडेलिक पिक्चर्स द्वारा, एक गतिशील हॉलीवुड स्वतंत्र फिल्म स्टूडियो, वैश्विक कहानी कहने में अदम्य ताकत। कुशल स्कॉट एडलर द्वारा निर्मित और वीसीसी स्टूडियोज वर्ल्डवाइड और कैसाडेलिक पिक्चर्स द्वारा प्रस्तुत, जिसमें गतिशील जस्टिन फोल्गर एक निर्माता के रूप में हैं, "फ्रैमेड" दूरदर्शी फिल्म निर्माण की शक्ति का एक वसीयतनामा है। इस अभूतपूर्व सहयोग से हॉलीवुड और बॉलीवुड दोनों की शीर्ष प्रतिभाएं एक अनूठे बहुभाषी, बहु-सांस्कृतिक सिनेमाई अनुभव में एक साथ आएंगी। रयान कर्टिस द्वारा निर्देशित "फ्रैमेड" एक बदनाम अमेरिकी सीआईए अधिकारी और एक दृढ़ भारतीय खुफिया विश्लेषक की कहानी है, यह फिल्म सच्चाई, भरोसे और तकनीक द्वारा संचालित दुनिया में गलत सूचना के खतरों की गहन खोज के साथ उच्च-ऑक्टेन एक्शन को जोड़ती है। भारत के प्रतिष्ठित स्थानों पर निर्माण के साथ - जिसमें नई दिल्ली, मुंबई, हैदराबाद और लुभावने उत्तरी पहाड़ शामिल हैं - "FrAImed" एक शानदार, एड्रेनालाईन-ईंधन वाली सिनेमाई सवारी देने का वादा करता है जो महाद्वीपों के दर्शकों को आकर्षित करेगी। निर्देशक रयान कर्टिस, जिनके हालिया कामों में आगामी फिल्म हॉलीवुड ग्रिट और टेलीविज़न पायलट REPO’d शामिल हैं, निर्माता स्कॉट एडलर, जस्टिन फोल्गर और ब्रायन एलियासिन के साथ अपनी दूरदर्शी कहानी को वैश्विक मंच पर लाते हैं। कर्टिस और क्रिस्टीना डेंटन द्वारा लिखी गई पटकथा आज की AI-संचालित दुनिया में समय के साथ तालमेल बिठाती है। "जो बात भयावह है वह यह है कि हथियारबंद एआई का अस्तित्वगत खतरा अब दूर के भविष्य की बात नहीं रह गई है, यह अभी हमारे दरवाजे पर है," कर्टिस कहते हैं

कैसडेलिक पिक्चर्स और वामन चालना चित्रा स्टूडियो के बीच सहयोग ने क्रॉस-कल्चरल फिल्म निर्माण के लिए एक नई मिसाल कायम की है। "भारत में फिल्म और सिनेमा का इतना समृद्ध इतिहास है, मैं FrAImed को जीवंत करने के लिए इससे बेहतर जगह के बारे में नहीं सोच सकता," कर्टिस कहते हैं।


हरि विष्णु के नेतृत्व में वामन चालना चित्रा स्टूडियो इस फिल्म को एशिया और मध्य पूर्व में वितरित करेगा, जिससे यह परियोजना हॉलीवुड-बॉलीवुड के पहले सच्चे सहयोगों में से एक बन जाएगी। स्थानीय क्रू और प्रतिभा पर विशेष ध्यान देने के साथ, इस साझेदारी का उद्देश्य भारत और अमेरिका के समृद्ध सांस्कृतिक दृष्टिकोण को प्रदर्शित करते हुए दोनों फिल्म निर्माण परंपराओं का सर्वश्रेष्ठ मिश्रण करना है।

हरि विष्णु कहते हैं ”FrAImed का हिस्सा बनना उच्च-दांव जासूसी और वैश्विक साज़िश की दुनिया में एक रोमांचक यात्रा है। यह फिल्म सांस्कृतिक सीमाओं को पार करती है, हॉलीवुड की तीव्रता को बॉलीवुड के जुनून के साथ मिलाती है, और मुझे ऐसे स्मारकीय मंच पर भारतीय सिनेमा का प्रतिनिधित्व करने का सम्मान मिला है। इस अविश्वसनीय कलाकारों के साथ काम करना एक गहरा अनुभव रहा है, और मैं दुनिया भर के दर्शकों को हमारे द्वारा साथ मिलकर बनाए गए जादू को देखने के लिए इंतजार नहीं कर सकता”

“हम भारत में ऐसे प्रतिभाशाली फिल्म निर्माताओं के साथ काम करने के लिए रोमांचित हैं। यह जीवन का एक बड़ा अवसर है" निर्माता जस्टिन फोल्गर कहते हैं। कैसाडेलिक पिक्चर्स के संस्थापक स्कॉट एडलर कहते हैं, “भारत सिनेमा और तकनीक दोनों के लिए अमेरिका के जुनून को अद्वितीय रूप से साझा करता है, और FrAImed एक ऐसी कहानी के साथ उस ऊर्जा का लाभ उठाता है जो रोमांचकारी, मनोरंजक और गहराई से प्रासंगिक है"

हेनरी कैविल, मैक्स मार्टिनी, जेम्स फ्रैंको, रोसारियो डॉसन, ईवा मेंडेस, ईवा लोंगोरिया, केन वतनबे, क्रिस्टोफ वाल्ट्ज और राल्फ फिएनेस सहित हॉलीवुड के दिग्गज "FrAImed" में अपनी स्टार पावर लाने के लिए बातचीत कर रहे हैं। प्रत्येक अभिनेता को ऐसी भूमिकाओं के लिए सावधानीपूर्वक संपर्क किया गया है जो उनकी दुर्जेय प्रतिभा को प्रदर्शित करने का वादा करती हैं, जो इस अंतर्राष्ट्रीय थ्रिलर में गहराई और आयाम जोड़ती हैं। बॉलीवुड के सबसे चमकीले सितारे "FrAImed" में चमकने के लिए तैयार हैं। जबकि हरि विष्णु और वी नेहा शर्मा की पुष्टि हो चुकी है, श्रुति हसन, सामंथा प्रभु, रश्मिका मंदाना, किरण भट्टाचार्य, देव राव, विक्रम नायर और रजनी कलाकारों में शामिल होने के लिए बातचीत कर रहे हैं। प्रत्येक को महत्वपूर्ण भूमिकाओं के लिए संपर्क किया गया है जो उनकी अविश्वसनीय प्रतिभा को उजागर करेगा और फिल्म की क्रॉस-कल्चरल कथा को जीवंत करेगा।
