Four shifts are reshaping employment in the Indian jewellery trade.
Lab-grown diamonds
A new manufacturing sector with technical roles that did not exist five years ago.
Mandatory hallmarking
Has made compliance and QC a permanent staffed function even in mid-sized businesses.
Online selling
Has created cataloguing, photography and marketplace roles inside traditional jewellers.
Formalisation
More businesses running on payroll, PF and proper contracts. Slowly, but the direction is one way.
