A Visit that Strengthens Centuries-Old India–Africa Diamond Ties with a Shared Vision for Skills, Growth, and Human Connection
Surat, India – 22nd August, 2025 – Hari Krishna Exports Pvt. Ltd., one of India’s leading diamond manufacturers and exporters, had the privilege of hosting Hon. General (Rtd.) Dr. Constantino Guveya Dominic Nyikadzino Chiwenga, Vice President of the Republic of Zimbabwe, at its world-class facilities in Surat. The visit marked a significant moment in the ongoing dialogue between India and Africa on the future of the global diamond industry. The Vice President’s address left an inspiring impression, as he spoke of Zimbabwe’s vision to move beyond being a supplier of rough diamonds towards becoming a hub of value addition, employment generation, and skill development. His reflections strongly resonated with the journey of Hari Krishna Exports, which too began with modest roots and has grown into a global name built on precision, ethics, and innovation.

During the interaction, the Vice President praised the unmatched expertise, integrity, and global reach of Surat’s diamond industry. His words carried not only admiration but also a sense of trust, as he extended an open invitation for Indian expertise to contribute to Zimbabwe’s growth story. He reminded all present that India and Africa have been connected through the diamond trade for over eight centuries, a legacy that continues to flourish with new opportunities for collaboration.
“Zimbabwe is abundantly endowed with diamond resources, and it is imperative that our extractive sector evolves beyond the export of raw minerals. The future lies in value addition, job creation, and skills development for our people. I am pleased that Hari Krishna Exports has shown such willingness to partner with Zimbabwe in this journey.”
— Hon. Vice President Dr. Constantino Chiwenga
What made the occasion truly memorable was the spirit of friendship and respect that defined every conversation. The Vice President’s vision was not limited to economic growth alone; it was about creating meaningful livelihoods, empowering youth, and building bridges between nations. On this historic occasion, Shri Savjibhai Dholakia, Founder and Chairman of Hari Krishna Exports, expressed willingness for a structured programme to train 50 Zimbabwean youth every year at Hari Krishna’s Surat facilities in the specialised art of diamond cutting and polishing. He expressed that Hari Krishna Exports is committed to making this programme a long-term bridge of knowledge-sharing and empowerment between the two nations.
“This is not just a skill-sharing programme,” said Shri Savjibhai Dholakia. “It is about giving young people the ability to earn a livelihood, restore dignity, and create prosperity in their communities. When knowledge is shared, it multiplies. We wish for Zimbabwe’s youth to carry forward not only the craft but also the values of care and excellence that we cherish.”
This step symbolises beyond just business collaboration; it is a partnership grounded in empathy and long-term vision, ensuring that prosperity reaches hands and hearts across borders.

Diamonds as Connectors of People and Culture
The Vice President spoke warmly of the timeless bond between India and Zimbabwe, even picturing a future where cricket fields near Victoria Falls become places where the spirit of sport, culture, and friendship flourish side by side. For Hari Krishna Exports, these words echoed a larger truth — that diamonds are not merely symbols of wealth but powerful connectors of people, traditions, and nations.
From the diamond city of Surat to the natural splendour of Zimbabwe, this meeting reaffirmed the belief that the diamond shines brightest when it bridges cultures and lights up lives. The leadership team and employees of Hari Krishna Exports expressed heartfelt appreciation for the Vice President’s visit, which they described as both inspiring and humbling. The conversations opened doors for deeper cooperation and reminded all present that the strongest partnerships are those built on trust, respect, and shared humanity.
In closing, Shri Savjibhai Dholakia, shared:“We are grateful for this honour of welcoming Hon. Vice President Dr. Chiwenga to our facilities. His words will continue to inspire us as we take forward our responsibility to share knowledge, build skills, and strengthen the ties between India and Africa. This visit was not just an exchange of ideas but a celebration of friendship and future possibilities.”

Recognised for Landmark Contributions to Life Below Water & Life On Land
Surat, Gujarat, India, August 2025 – Hari Krishna Exports Pvt. Ltd. (HK), a global leader in diamond manufacturing and sustainability innovation, has been honoured with the Jewellery World Awards (JWA) Sustainability Award 2025 in the Environmental Stewardship category. The award celebrates HK’s exceptional work for Life Below Water and Life On Land, reflecting a rare and holistic achievement in ecological restoration from the diamond industry. To recall, HK was also awarded the Jury’s Special Recognition for Environmental Stewardship at the JWA 2024, where its pioneering initiatives earned global appreciation for measurable, community-led environmental impact. As part of the 2024 JWA Sustainability Awards event, Mr. Brijesh Dholakia, second-generation leader at Hari Krishna Exports, participated in the panel discussion “Jewels of a Sustainable Future.” Reflecting the company’s core values, he stated: “Sustainability should not be a choice; it should be a necessity.”
This year’s award reaffirms that HK continues to lead by example, turning recognition into responsibility and ambition into action.
A Year of Measurable Environmental Impact
As climate stress intensifies, 2024 stands as a defining year for HK’s conservation efforts, led by its philanthropic arm, the Dholakia Foundation. The company’s initiatives directly contributed to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 6 (Clean Water), SDG 13 (Climate Action), SDG 14 (Life Below Water), and SDG 15 (Life On Land).
Life Below Water: From Lakes to Livelihoods
It has been widely known in India how HK’s Mission River initiative has rejuvenated over 164 water bodies, conserving nearly 36 billion litres of water in drought-prone Gujarat. In 2024 alone, standout projects included:
Bharatmata Sarovar, inaugurated by Hon’ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi, now stores 4 billion litres, transforming a barren landscape into a freshwater ecosystem that shelters migratory species such as Painted Storks and Herons.
The Kalwa River in Junagadh was revived to mitigate monsoon floods in urban areas, reducing displacement and improving water quality over an 8-kilometre stretch.
Saraswati River, a sacred river in Patan, was ecologically restored, enabling the return of ancient Vedic rituals disrupted by water scarcity.
Banaskantha Artificial Lake, built in a saline-affected border region, has begun reversing groundwater salinity and supports both villagers and border security forces.
These efforts have restored riparian biodiversity, reduced waterborne diseases, and improved agricultural livelihoods for over 300,000 farmers.
Life On Land: Tree by Tree, a Climate Legacy
Through Mission 102030, HK has planted 3.6 million trees to date, with 500,000 planted in 2024 alone, including native, fruit-bearing, and climate-resilient species. In the current year (2025), a total of 269,354 trees have been planted so far.
High-survival plantation clusters in Bharuch, Surat, and Amreli now serve as microhabitats and carbon sinks.
Key innovations include:
Miyawaki forests in urban zones are a method of creating dense, native forests in a small area.
AI-based geo-tagging, survival tracking, and a state-of-the-art monitoring dashboard.
Agroforestry models that link tree plantations with food security.
Ecological results include a 27% increase in green cover in targeted regions, a documented 2–3°C reduction in surface temperature, and the return of native bird and pollinator species.
Community at the Core
HK’s environmental model hinges on local partnerships. In 2024:
Farmers co-managed check dams and lakes in their village construction by contributing fuel, while HK provided heavy machinery through memorandums with Komatsu and BJS.
Students, NGOs, and global partners engaged in environmental education, excursions, and shared responsibility.
Collaborations with Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Kutch University, and the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration further amplify the scientific and global relevance of HK’s interventions.
A Legacy of Ethical Leadership
This award is not HK’s first milestone in sustainability, but it is its most significant recognition to date. Founder and Chairman Savjibhai Dholakia, recipient of the Padma Shri, has long embedded environmental stewardship into HK’s ethos. The company also integrates tree planting into business operations: with every visitor’s visit to the booth of HK at any tradeshow, a sapling is planted in the visitor’s name.
“As diamond manufacturers, we understand pressure. But unlike the diamond, Earth can no longer afford to be pressured. This recognition by JWA reaffirms that luxury and sustainability can—and must—coexist,” said Mr. Hitarth Dholakia, second-generation leader of Hari Krishna Exports.

Hari Krishna Exports Pvt. Ltd. Receives GJEPC Award for Outstanding Contribution to the Gem & Jewellery Industry
Mumbai, India [02/07/2025]Hari Krishna Exports marked a remarkable milestone: 33 years of dedication to excellence, integrity, and responsibility. Beyond another anniversary, this occasion served as a tribute to the values that have guided the organisation since its inception and to the many individuals who have been a part of this journey: clients, employees, partners, and well-wishers alike. And as a token of gratitude to our exclusive clients, we did offer 1.33% off on every diamond purchase.
The celebrations this year carried a tone of gratitude and purpose. Across the company’s Mumbai and Surat units, the day began with a blood donation drive that collected 1,022 units, adding to a total of 21,404 bottles donated since the program began. Eye check-up camps were also organised. Everyone supporting this noble cause was warmly welcomed and appreciated. Dr. Himanshu Mehta, Mr. Viren Shah – President, NSCI, Hiten Anandpara, and Sanjay Pandya attended as distinguished chief guests, along with prominent dignitaries from the Gems and Jewellery Industry. The event was followed by a heartfelt recognition ceremony, honouring 68 team members who have been part of the organisation for over 20 years at the Surat and Mumbai state-of-the-art facilities. It was a reminder that behind every achievement lies the dedication of countless hands and hearts.
“We organise blood donation on the 1st anniversary of every Kisna franchise store and have a long term vision of organising blood donation drives every week.”
“We have always believed that a company’s true strength comes from the lives it touches,” said Ghanshyam Dholakia, Founder and Managing Director of Hari Krishna Exports. “This milestone belongs to every team member, every donor, and every well-wisher who supported us with faith and dedication”, he added.
However, the day’s significance extended far beyond its activities. It was a reflection of the larger story that Hari Krishna Exports has quietly written over three decades, a story of going beyond business to make a lasting impact.
Hari Krishna Exports expresses heartfelt gratitude to every stakeholder: clients, team members, partners, and well-wishers who have stood by the company through this journey towards being a polished leader in the diamond manufacturing industry.

Speaking on the occasion, the founders and second-generation leaders of Hari Krishna Exports shared heartfelt reflections on the journey, values, and vision that have shaped the organisation.
Himmatbhai Dholakia, Founder of Hari Krishna Exports, recalled the humble beginnings:
“Before Hari Krishna Exports, we ran another diamond company for two years. When we started this business, it was very small, but with the hard work of our employees and the determination of the family, it has grown into something we never imagined. This journey belongs to everyone who has contributed. I hope that the next generation also blossoms in this legacy and carries it forward for many decades to come.”
Tulsibhai Dholakia, Founder of Hari Krishna Exports, reflected on how far the journey has come:
“These 33 years have gone by like 13. I still remember how Savjibhai and I moved from our village to Surat with nothing but a dream. From the very beginning, our goal was simple—how can we uplift the people who are with us, and how can we give back to society and nature? Looking back now, I feel deeply content that we stayed true to that vision.”
Pintubhai Dholakia, Second-Generation Leader, expressed his gratitude and forward-looking vision:
“Our business is one of beauty and joy. Through diamonds, we bring happiness into people’s lives. Not everyone gets to be part of such a meaningful industry. As we complete 33 years, my vision is clear—this is not just about reaching a milestone in management, but about ensuring that future generations stay rooted in the values of Hari Krishna. True success will come when this spirit continues for 100 years and beyond.”
As Hari Krishna Exports marks the completion of its 33rd year, it does so with renewed purpose and a deepened commitment to collective progress. Because the journey toward sustainability, shared progress, and collective growth is only just beginning.

Hari Krishna Exports Celebrates International Yoga Day 2025 with Yoga Sessions for 7,300 Participants Across India to Promote Workplace Well-Being
Mumbai, India, June 2025 – In a world where values and vision shape the future of luxury, Hari Krishna Exports made a lasting impression at JCK Las Vegas 2025, held from June 6 to 9 at Booth No. 13079, The Venetian Expo, USA.
With a booth built using over 70% renewable materials and a showcase of meticulously crafted diamond layouts, the company once again reinforced its firm commitment to sustainability, craftsmanship, and meaningful dialogue in the global diamond industry.
The company extended its sustainable spirit to visitors through meaningful giveaways as a token of appreciation. Each guest received a sustainable lanyard inspired by the colours of the SDG goals and a custom SDG lapel pin. On top of all that, a tree would be planted in their name — a cherished tradition Hari Krishna Exports carries to every tradeshow worldwide.
Among those who visited the booth were two highly esteemed guests, Mr. Al Cook, CEO of De Beers Group, and Her Excellency Bogolo Joy Kenewendo, Cabinet Minister from the Republic of Botswana. Their presence added weight to a booth that was already drawing attention for its innovative presentation and responsible design approach.
At the heart of the showcase were diamond layouts — perfectly harmonised sets aligned by shape, size, clarity, and colour. Designed to support jewellery artisans with consistency and ease, these layouts reduce time spent on sorting while maintaining the elegance and balance that high-end consumers deserve. Each layout reflects Hari Krishna Exports’ standard of excellence, rooted in decades of expertise.
Adding to the immersive experience, Hari Krishna Exports introduced a mixed reality concept for the first time at JCK. Using the Apple Vision Pro, clients could view a factory walkthrough in visual reality simply by scanning a specially designed poster at the booth. This innovative approach brought transparency and traceability to life, offering a glimpse into the precision and responsibility behind every diamond.
During the show, second-generation leader Mr. Brijesh Dholakia served as one of the resource persons in the “JCK Talks: Sustainability Stage” session. Sharing the stage with other high-level guests, he shared insights on how HK’s manufacturing facilities in Surat have embedded sustainability at its core — from energy-efficient operations to integration with Tracr and iTraceiT platforms, enabling end-to-end diamond traceability.
He also highlighted a hallmark initiative that Hari Krishna Exports brings to every global event it attends: for every visitor in its booth, a tree is planted. This deeply rooted philosophy ensures that every engagement — be it a conversation, inquiry, or transaction — leaves behind not just an impression, but a contribution to the planet.

A Tree for Today, Hope for Tomorrow: A Stronger Commitment on World Environment Day
On this day, Padma Shri Awardee Shri Savjibhai Dholakia, Chairman and Founder of Hari Krishna Exports and the Dholakia Foundation, called on his team to deepen their dedication to environmental stewardship. Since launching Mission102030, Hari Krishna Exports has:

“This goes beyond planting trees, it’s a promise to the planet’s future. Every tree nurtured reflects our employees’ commitment and hope for a sustainable tomorrow,” said Savjibhai Dholakia.
Inspiration from Sikkim’s Tree Program
Savjibhai Dholakia was inspired by Sikkim’s Mero Rukh Mero Santati (“My Tree, My Child”) program, which plants 108 trees for every child born to symbolise a living bond between people and nature. This powerful symbolism fueled Hari Krishna’s new employee tree-care incentive program.
Overview of Mission102030 Progress
Mission102030 aims to plant 10 million trees across India by 2030. As of May 2025, the initiative has already planted over 3.5 million trees in 25+ regions, including mango orchards in Dudhala, where over 50,000 mango trees provide fruit annually to employees — an example of regenerative sustainability.
Trees are planted to celebrate:
- ♦ Every customer visit to trade shows
- ♦ Every Kisna jewelry sale
- ♦ Every stakeholder’s birthday and milestone
Alignment with Global and National Goals
Hari Krishna Exports’ environmental work aligns with:
- ♦ India’s Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) aim to create a 2.5–3 billion tonne CO₂ sink
- ♦ The United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration (2021–2030)
- ♦ 1t.org’s pledge to grow 10 million trees and offset 220,000 metric tons of CO₂
Key impact metrics tracked include:
- ♦ Tree survival rates and biodiversity indices
- ♦ Soil and air quality improvements
- ♦ Community participation and youth engagement
- ♦ Gender equity and economic upliftment in rural areas
Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability Leadership
As environmental challenges intensify, Mission 102030 demonstrates how corporate responsibility can drive meaningful change. Hari Krishna Exports’ culture of sustainability and collective action not only contributes to a healthier planet but also sets a powerful example for others.
By integrating natural capital investment into its values, Hari Krishna Exports and the Dholakia Foundation inspire communities and businesses, demonstrating that meaningful change begins locally and can have a global impact.
A Reflection from Sikkim
Reflecting on his visit, Savjibhai Dholakia said, “Sikkim is more beautiful than Switzerland. It shows the peace and abundance that come when nature and humanity live in harmony. And deeply admired by Hon’ble Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi’s ‘Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam’ movement, which we proudly support by dedicating each new tree to a mother’s love.”
Invitation to Join the Green Movement
Hari Krishna Exports will showcase its sustainable innovations at JCK Las Vegas 2025 (June 6–9, Booth No. 13079) and invites visitors to plant a tree alongside them, joining in creating a greener future.

HK Share Sustainability Insights and receive the award at Jewellery & Gem WORLD Hong Kong
HONG KONG, September 2025 – Hari Krishna Exports Pvt. Ltd. (HK), a global leader in natural diamond manufacturing and sustainability innovation, proudly concluded a landmark participation at Jewellery & Gem WORLD Hong Kong 2025, where the company was honoured with the Jewellery World Awards (JWA) 2025 in Environmental Stewardship for its contributions to Life Below Water and Life On Land. This recognition follows the company’s accolade at JWA 2024, where Hari Krishna Exports received the Jury’s Special Recognition Award for Environmental Stewardship, further underscoring its consistent leadership in sustainability and ecological restoration.
The accolade shines a spotlight on the Dholakia Foundation, HK’s philanthropic arm, for its pioneering work in ecological restoration. Through Mission River, the foundation has rejuvenated over 164 lakes and rivers, conserving more than 36 billion liters of water, improving irrigation for farmers, and reviving biodiversity across drought-prone Gujarat. Complementing this, Mission 102030 has already seen the plantation of 3.6 million trees, creating micro-habitats, carbon sinks, and thriving green corridors.
The award particularly recognised the foundation’s work in restoring freshwater ecosystems such as Bharatmata Sarovar, Kalwa River, and Saraswati River, which now support migratory species, including Painted Storks and Herons. These projects have improved agricultural productivity, reversed migration in rural communities, and offered new opportunities for over 250,000 farmers and villagers.

From providing meals to our 9,000 family members to rejuvenating lakes and planting millions of trees, our efforts in sustainability are reflected in every diamond we craft. Because when we care for the land, happiness shines through in the final product,” said Mr. Ghanshaym Dholakia, Founder and Managing Director, Hari Krishna Exports.

Known for its “Mines to Market” approach, HK integrates craftsmanship, technology, and ethical sourcing in renewable-powered facilities.

Hon. Vice President of Zimbabwe with Shri Savji Dholakia, Founder and Chairman of Hari Krishna Exports, sharing a moment of mutual respect and vision for stronger India–Africa ties.
During the interaction, the Vice President praised the unmatched expertise, integrity, and global reach of Surat’s diamond industry. His words carried not only admiration but also a sense of trust, as he extended an open invitation for Indian expertise to contribute to Zimbabwe’s growth story. He reminded all present that India and Africa have been connected through the diamond trade for over eight centuries, a legacy that continues to flourish with new opportunities for collaboration.
“Zimbabwe is abundantly endowed with diamond resources, and it is imperative that our extractive sector evolves beyond the export of raw minerals. The future lies in value addition, job creation, and skills development for our people. I am pleased that Hari Krishna Exports has shown such willingness to partner with Zimbabwe in this journey.”
— Hon. Vice President Dr. Constantino Chiwenga
What made the occasion truly memorable was the spirit of friendship and respect that defined every conversation. The Vice President’s vision was not limited to economic growth alone; it was about creating meaningful livelihoods, empowering youth, and building bridges between nations. On this historic occasion, Shri Savjibhai Dholakia, Founder and Chairman of Hari Krishna Exports, expressed willingness for a structured programme to train 50 Zimbabwean youth every year at Hari Krishna’s Surat facilities in the specialised art of diamond cutting and polishing. He expressed that Hari Krishna Exports is committed to making this programme a long-term bridge of knowledge-sharing and empowerment between the two nations.
“This is not just a skill-sharing programme,” said Shri Savjibhai Dholakia. “It is about giving young people the ability to earn a livelihood, restore dignity, and create prosperity in their communities. When knowledge is shared, it multiplies. We wish for Zimbabwe’s youth to carry forward not only the craft but also the values of care and excellence that we cherish.”
This step symbolises beyond just business collaboration; it is a partnership grounded in empathy and long-term vision, ensuring that prosperity reaches hands and hearts across borders.
The Vice President of Zimbabwe experiences the art of diamond cutting first-hand, guided by artisans at Hari Krishna Exports in Surat.
Diamonds as Connectors of People and Culture
The Vice President spoke warmly of the timeless bond between India and Zimbabwe, even picturing a future where cricket fields near Victoria Falls become places where the spirit of sport, culture, and friendship flourish side by side. For Hari Krishna Exports, these words echoed a larger truth — that diamonds are not merely symbols of wealth but powerful connectors of people, traditions, and nations.
From the diamond city of Surat to the natural splendour of Zimbabwe, this meeting reaffirmed the belief that the diamond shines brightest when it bridges cultures and lights up lives. The leadership team and employees of Hari Krishna Exports expressed heartfelt appreciation for the Vice President’s visit, which they described as both inspiring and humbling. The conversations opened doors for deeper cooperation and reminded all present that the strongest partnerships are those built on trust, respect, and shared humanity.
In closing, Shri Savjibhai Dholakia, shared:“We are grateful for this honour of welcoming Hon. Vice President Dr. Chiwenga to our facilities. His words will continue to inspire us as we take forward our responsibility to share knowledge, build skills, and strengthen the ties between India and Africa. This visit was not just an exchange of ideas but a celebration of friendship and future possibilities.”

Recognised for Landmark Contributions to Life Below Water & Life On Land
Surat, Gujarat, India, August 2025 – Hari Krishna Exports Pvt. Ltd. (HK), a global leader in diamond manufacturing and sustainability innovation, has been honoured with the Jewellery World Awards (JWA) Sustainability Award 2025 in the Environmental Stewardship category. The award celebrates HK’s exceptional work for Life Below Water and Life On Land, reflecting a rare and holistic achievement in ecological restoration from the diamond industry. To recall, HK was also awarded the Jury’s Special Recognition for Environmental Stewardship at the JWA 2024, where its pioneering initiatives earned global appreciation for measurable, community-led environmental impact. As part of the 2024 JWA Sustainability Awards event, Mr. Brijesh Dholakia, second-generation leader at Hari Krishna Exports, participated in the panel discussion “Jewels of a Sustainable Future.” Reflecting the company’s core values, he stated: “Sustainability should not be a choice; it should be a necessity.”
This year’s award reaffirms that HK continues to lead by example, turning recognition into responsibility and ambition into action.
A Year of Measurable Environmental Impact
As climate stress intensifies, 2024 stands as a defining year for HK’s conservation efforts, led by its philanthropic arm, the Dholakia Foundation. The company’s initiatives directly contributed to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 6 (Clean Water), SDG 13 (Climate Action), SDG 14 (Life Below Water), and SDG 15 (Life On Land).
Life Below Water: From Lakes to Livelihoods
It has been widely known in India how HK’s Mission River initiative has rejuvenated over 164 water bodies, conserving nearly 36 billion litres of water in drought-prone Gujarat. In 2024 alone, standout projects included:
Bharatmata Sarovar, inaugurated by Hon’ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi, now stores 4 billion litres, transforming a barren landscape into a freshwater ecosystem that shelters migratory species such as Painted Storks and Herons.
The Kalwa River in Junagadh was revived to mitigate monsoon floods in urban areas, reducing displacement and improving water quality over an 8-kilometre stretch.
Saraswati River, a sacred river in Patan, was ecologically restored, enabling the return of ancient Vedic rituals disrupted by water scarcity.
Banaskantha Artificial Lake, built in a saline-affected border region, has begun reversing groundwater salinity and supports both villagers and border security forces.
These efforts have restored riparian biodiversity, reduced waterborne diseases, and improved agricultural livelihoods for over 300,000 farmers.
Life On Land: Tree by Tree, a Climate Legacy
Through Mission 102030, HK has planted 3.6 million trees to date, with 500,000 planted in 2024 alone, including native, fruit-bearing, and climate-resilient species. In the current year (2025), a total of 269,354 trees have been planted so far.
High-survival plantation clusters in Bharuch, Surat, and Amreli now serve as microhabitats and carbon sinks.
Key innovations include:
Miyawaki forests in urban zones are a method of creating dense, native forests in a small area.
AI-based geo-tagging, survival tracking, and a state-of-the-art monitoring dashboard.
Agroforestry models that link tree plantations with food security.
Ecological results include a 27% increase in green cover in targeted regions, a documented 2–3°C reduction in surface temperature, and the return of native bird and pollinator species.
Community at the Core
HK’s environmental model hinges on local partnerships. In 2024:
Farmers co-managed check dams and lakes in their village construction by contributing fuel, while HK provided heavy machinery through memorandums with Komatsu and BJS.
Students, NGOs, and global partners engaged in environmental education, excursions, and shared responsibility.
Collaborations with Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Kutch University, and the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration further amplify the scientific and global relevance of HK’s interventions.
A Legacy of Ethical Leadership
This award is not HK’s first milestone in sustainability, but it is its most significant recognition to date. Founder and Chairman Savjibhai Dholakia, recipient of the Padma Shri, has long embedded environmental stewardship into HK’s ethos. The company also integrates tree planting into business operations: with every visitor’s visit to the booth of HK at any tradeshow, a sapling is planted in the visitor’s name.
“As diamond manufacturers, we understand pressure. But unlike the diamond, Earth can no longer afford to be pressured. This recognition by JWA reaffirms that luxury and sustainability can—and must—coexist,” said Mr. Hitarth Dholakia, second-generation leader of Hari Krishna Exports.

Through its philanthropic arm, the Dholakia Foundation, HK has launched large-scale environmental and community initiatives, including Mission 102030, which aims to plant 10 million trees by 2030 and has already crossed 3.6 million trees, and Mission River, which has conserved over 36 billion litres of water through the creation of 164+ water bodies across India. These initiatives reinforce HK’s leadership in sustainable luxury and environmental responsibility.

Mumbai, India [02/07/2025]Hari Krishna Exports marked a remarkable milestone: 33 years of dedication to excellence, integrity, and responsibility. Beyond another anniversary, this occasion served as a tribute to the values that have guided the organisation since its inception and to the many individuals who have been a part of this journey: clients, employees, partners, and well-wishers alike. And as a token of gratitude to our exclusive clients, we did offer 1.33% off on every diamond purchase.
The celebrations this year carried a tone of gratitude and purpose. Across the company’s Mumbai and Surat units, the day began with a blood donation drive that collected 1,022 units, adding to a total of 21,404 bottles donated since the program began. Eye check-up camps were also organised. Everyone supporting this noble cause was warmly welcomed and appreciated. Dr. Himanshu Mehta, Mr. Viren Shah – President, NSCI, Hiten Anandpara, and Sanjay Pandya attended as distinguished chief guests, along with prominent dignitaries from the Gems and Jewellery Industry. The event was followed by a heartfelt recognition ceremony, honouring 68 team members who have been part of the organisation for over 20 years at the Surat and Mumbai state-of-the-art facilities. It was a reminder that behind every achievement lies the dedication of countless hands and hearts.
“We organise blood donation on the 1st anniversary of every Kisna franchise store and have a long term vision of organising blood donation drives every week.”
“We have always believed that a company’s true strength comes from the lives it touches,” said Ghanshyam Dholakia, Founder and Managing Director of Hari Krishna Exports. “This milestone belongs to every team member, every donor, and every well-wisher who supported us with faith and dedication”, he added.
However, the day’s significance extended far beyond its activities. It was a reflection of the larger story that Hari Krishna Exports has quietly written over three decades, a story of going beyond business to make a lasting impact.
Hari Krishna Exports expresses heartfelt gratitude to every stakeholder: clients, team members, partners, and well-wishers who have stood by the company through this journey towards being a polished leader in the diamond manufacturing industry. Their faith and support have been instrumental in making every initiative a reality.
Speaking on the occasion, the founders and second-generation leaders of Hari Krishna Exports shared heartfelt reflections on the journey, values, and vision that have shaped the organisation.
Himmatbhai Dholakia, Founder of Hari Krishna Exports, recalled the humble beginnings:
“Before Hari Krishna Exports, we ran another diamond company for two years. When we started this business, it was very small, but with the hard work of our employees and the determination of the family, it has grown into something we never imagined. This journey belongs to everyone who has contributed. I hope that the next generation also blossoms in this legacy and carries it forward for many decades to come.”
Tulsibhai Dholakia, Founder of Hari Krishna Exports, reflected on how far the journey has come:
“These 33 years have gone by like 13. I still remember how Savjibhai and I moved from our village to Surat with nothing but a dream. From the very beginning, our goal was simple—how can we uplift the people who are with us, and how can we give back to society and nature? Looking back now, I feel deeply content that we stayed true to that vision.”
Pintubhai Dholakia, Second-Generation Leader, expressed his gratitude and forward-looking vision:
“Our business is one of beauty and joy. Through diamonds, we bring happiness into people’s lives. Not everyone gets to be part of such a meaningful industry. As we complete 33 years, my vision is clear—this is not just about reaching a milestone in management, but about ensuring that future generations stay rooted in the values of Hari Krishna. True success will come when this spirit continues for 100 years and beyond.”
As Hari Krishna Exports marks the completion of its 33rd year, it does so with renewed purpose and a deepened commitment to collective progress. Because the journey toward sustainability, shared progress, and collective growth is only just beginning.

Mumbai, India, June 2025 – In a world where values and vision shape the future of luxury, Hari Krishna Exports made a lasting impression at JCK Las Vegas 2025, held from June 6 to 9 at Booth No. 13079, The Venetian Expo, USA.
With a booth built using over 70% renewable materials and a showcase of meticulously crafted diamond layouts, the company once again reinforced its firm commitment to sustainability, craftsmanship, and meaningful dialogue in the global diamond industry.
The company extended its sustainable spirit to visitors through meaningful giveaways as a token of appreciation. Each guest received a sustainable lanyard inspired by the colours of the SDG goals and a custom SDG lapel pin. On top of all that, a tree would be planted in their name — a cherished tradition Hari Krishna Exports carries to every tradeshow worldwide.
Among those who visited the booth were two highly esteemed guests, Mr. Al Cook, CEO of De Beers Group, and Her Excellency Bogolo Joy Kenewendo, Cabinet Minister from the Republic of Botswana. Their presence added weight to a booth that was already drawing attention for its innovative presentation and responsible design approach.
At the heart of the showcase were diamond layouts — perfectly harmonised sets aligned by shape, size, clarity, and colour. Designed to support jewellery artisans with consistency and ease, these layouts reduce time spent on sorting while maintaining the elegance and balance that high-end consumers deserve. Each layout reflects Hari Krishna Exports’ standard of excellence, rooted in decades of expertise.
Adding to the immersive experience, Hari Krishna Exports introduced a mixed reality concept for the first time at JCK. Using the Apple Vision Pro, clients could view a factory walkthrough in visual reality simply by scanning a specially designed poster at the booth. This innovative approach brought transparency and traceability to life, offering a glimpse into the precision and responsibility behind every diamond.
During the show, second-generation leader Mr. Brijesh Dholakia served as one of the resource persons in the “JCK Talks: Sustainability Stage” session. Sharing the stage with other high-level guests, he shared insights on how HK’s manufacturing facilities in Surat have embedded sustainability at its core — from energy-efficient operations to integration with Tracr and iTraceiT platforms, enabling end-to-end diamond traceability.
He also highlighted a hallmark initiative that Hari Krishna Exports brings to every global event it attends: for every visitor in its booth, a tree is planted. This deeply rooted philosophy ensures that every engagement — be it a conversation, inquiry, or transaction — leaves behind not just an impression, but a contribution to the planet.

Employee Engagement in Environmental Initiatives
Employees will receive financial rewards for nurturing the trees they plant, encouraging long-term care, and fostering a sense of personal and environmental responsibility. This program extends Hari Krishna’s guiding principle: “What you nourish will flourish,” turning it into a nationwide movement across India.
A Tree for Today, Hope for Tomorrow: A Stronger Commitment on World Environment Day
On this day, Padma Shri Awardee Shri Savjibhai Dholakia, Chairman and Founder of Hari Krishna Exports and the Dholakia Foundation, called on his team to deepen their dedication to environmental stewardship. Since launching Mission102030, Hari Krishna Exports has:

“This goes beyond planting trees, it’s a promise to the planet’s future. Every tree nurtured reflects our employees’ commitment and hope for a sustainable tomorrow,” said Savjibhai Dholakia.
Inspiration from Sikkim’s Tree Program
Savjibhai Dholakia was inspired by Sikkim’s Mero Rukh Mero Santati (“My Tree, My Child”) program, which plants 108 trees for every child born to symbolise a living bond between people and nature. This powerful symbolism fueled Hari Krishna’s new employee tree-care incentive program.
Overview of Mission102030 Progress
Mission102030 aims to plant 10 million trees across India by 2030. As of May 2025, the initiative has already planted over 3.5 million trees in 25+ regions, including mango orchards in Dudhala, where over 50,000 mango trees provide fruit annually to employees — an example of regenerative sustainability.
Trees are planted to celebrate:
- ♦ Every customer visit to trade shows
- ♦ Every Kisna jewelry sale
- ♦ Every stakeholder’s birthday and milestone
Alignment with Global and National Goals
Hari Krishna Exports’ environmental work aligns with:
- ♦ India’s Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) aim to create a 2.5–3 billion tonne CO₂ sink
- ♦ The United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration (2021–2030)
- ♦ 1t.org’s pledge to grow 10 million trees and offset 220,000 metric tons of CO₂
Key impact metrics tracked include:
- ♦ Tree survival rates and biodiversity indices
- ♦ Soil and air quality improvements
- ♦ Community participation and youth engagement
- ♦ Gender equity and economic upliftment in rural areas
Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability Leadership
As environmental challenges intensify, Mission 102030 demonstrates how corporate responsibility can drive meaningful change. Hari Krishna Exports’ culture of sustainability and collective action not only contributes to a healthier planet but also sets a powerful example for others.
By integrating natural capital investment into its values, Hari Krishna Exports and the Dholakia Foundation inspire communities and businesses, demonstrating that meaningful change begins locally and can have a global impact.
A Reflection from Sikkim
Reflecting on his visit, Savjibhai Dholakia said, “Sikkim is more beautiful than Switzerland. It shows the peace and abundance that come when nature and humanity live in harmony. And deeply admired by Hon’ble Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi’s ‘Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam’ movement, which we proudly support by dedicating each new tree to a mother’s love.”
Invitation to Join the Green Movement
Hari Krishna Exports will showcase its sustainable innovations at JCK Las Vegas 2025 (June 6–9, Booth No. 13079) and invites visitors to plant a tree alongside them, joining in creating a greener future.
