To capitalize on these trends, the speakers proposed several strategic approaches for Indian exporters. Recommendations included innovation in design, enhancing online visibility, crafting compelling brand narratives, maintaining high-quality standards, forming strategic partnerships, embracing technology, and prioritizing sustainability.
By aligning with consumer preferences, adopting technological advancements, and committing to sustainable practices, Indian gem and jewellery exporters can position themselves as leading players in the US market. Success in this competitive landscape will depend on innovation, collaboration, and a focus on customer-centric strategies to drive economic growth and solidify India’s presence in the global jewellery industry.
