Navin Sadarangani, proprietor of NYUZ, and Chief Organizer of this tourney said “The retail jewellery industry is devoid of any real fun activity and togetherness at the grass root level. Retail is long hours and can get tedious for both the Employer and the Employees. This is a welcome break.”

Jewellery Retailers who are participating include brands like Aspen, Gili, Cygnus, retailers Antara Jewellery, Begani Jewels, Gehna Jewellers, Mahesh Notandass, Manubhai Jewellers amongst others. The event is already garnering some positive feedback from the industry - Sunil Datwani (Gehna Jewellers) says, “I’ve always believed in the power of teams to build strong entities. This works just right in my effort to build a strong team in my new venture”. Shailesh Sangani (Aspen) agrees that “Retail is about Passion, and the Passion in a brand can only be reflected through its People. Building People is of core essence, and such endeavors in our industry are rare, so a great beginning.”
