A legacy of pride

The establishment of Badalia Gems Jewellers dates back to 100 years. The Marwari Jain family, originally belonging to a village called Basai in Haryana, also has its roots in Rajasthan. “As a family, we regularly visit the Jain temples in Jaipur and Jodhpur. Many of our clients hail from Jaipur, Ajmer and Jodhpur,” shares Ravi Badalia, Chairman, Badalia Gems Jewellers. His wife Chitra— belonging to the Golcha family—was born and raised in Jaipur, and their daughters-in-law Ruchi, Ritika and Shelly have their older generations based in Rajasthan.
