Our Company has grown significantly since listing on the SME platform, and we believe we are ready for this larger platform that would not only provide us greater visibility in the market, but also enable us to achieve new and higher benchmarks.

This move to the Main Board also comes at an appropriate time, as our Company is expanding its reach in India.By the end of this financial year, our Company will be offering to the tech savvy generation of online shoppers, daily wear, light weight lower price point jewellery on its own e-commerce platform, which will have state-of-the-art technological features appealing to the young customers.
