Skilling the unskilled How robust training brought down attrition rates for this jeweller

With five showrooms across Maharashtra and a staff strength of 350, Karan Kothari Jewellers is looking at an upward graph. With innovative inventory and marketing strategies, there is one other thing that this jeweller focuses on — the employee. This has paid off, and how.

According to Pradeep Kothari, owner of Karan Kothari Jewellers, employees are the most important aspect of any organization. They are the face of the brand and the warriors who bring in profits with their unique approaches and innovative marketing skills. When an employee feels valued, they stay; otherwise, they move on to greener pastures. In private organizations, we generally see a high attrition rate that goes to 25-30%, whereas incorporate, the rate is much lower owing to discipline and an organizational structure that plays a key role.

HUID: India's quest for GOLD PURITY EXCELLENCE

The Indian gold jewellery sector’s journey towards hallmarking has been long, slow and bumpy. Although voluntary hallmarking became available in April 2000, compromised gold was still widely sold in the market — a fact of which neither public nor government was ignorant.

The Retail Jeweller weighs the pros and cons of this sharp turn in the current, mid pandemic moment, when the gems and jewellery industry is more dependent than ever on gold sales.
