Ankit Gems has shared a powerful video feature showcasing its diamond cutting and polishing facility in Namibia, underscoring the company’s commitment to purpose-driven growth and community empowerment.
The Surat-based manufacturer established the first Indian-run diamond factory in Namibia, marking a milestone in its global expansion. What began with a small team of 18 employees has since grown into a workforce of over 100 Namibians, many of whom now serve in managerial roles.
The feature, recently aired by a Namibian news channel, offers a rare glimpse inside the factory — from the precision of polishing rooms to the smiles of employees whose lives have been transformed by new opportunities.
According to the company, the initiative reflects its belief that success lies not only in the brilliance of its diamonds but also in the empowerment of people and the positive impact created within local communities.
The story highlights how investment in training, skill development, and trust has enabled Namibian employees to take on leadership positions while building a sense of pride and ownership.
