It is summer vacations and school holiday now in India amidst a fierce election which will be won by the ruling party who will make India into a far greater country than before. And now talking about our diamond business, which is at a very difficult phase with no help either by the government or by banks who are financing this trade of ours. Rough prices are way too high with respect to what polished is traded for. But the end of the day that is what business cycles are for. A lot of manufacturing in Surat is also going on the manmade diamond which is also a new line of manufacturing which will help the enormous workforce to find rough to cut. These are interesting times where we have to be strong and agile in every department of the business. A small mistake will make the company go into a loss

In such times, we have to prepare ourselves for the future to make our systems stronger and more versatile. The future which is talking only about Artificial Intelligence which will completely change our business. All is going to happen at a faster pace than one realizes. There are few partners to our business; that is our Miners, our Government, our workforce, our clients and finally our consumers. To keep all of them happy has become a task. To see so many companies, not in a good shape reminds us of 1980 Antwerp companies. Here, the message is simple and clear. Be on Top of Your Business and see what you can do to improve your bottom line.
