The NDC’s partners shared their views regarding the joint venture and emphasised their commitment to natural diamonds.
Kishore Sanghvi, Chairman of KP Sanghvi LLP, said, “KP Sanghvi strongly believes that natural diamonds, with their timeless beauty and emotional resonance, remain an indispensable part of our lives, symbolizing love, milestones, and cherished memories. Joining forces with NDC reaffirms our desire to inspire consumers and remind them that every diamond not only carries intrinsic beauty but also a commitment to sustainability and positive societal impact.”
Chris Del Gatto, Co-Founder & CEO, Del Gatto Diamond Finance Fund said, “We are proud to partner with the Natural Diamond Council.
