Bengaluru: Laxmi Diamonds Bengaluru has conducted an employee nutrition and wellness session in collaboration with the Paustikansha Team, extending its focus on people development beyond jewellery manufacturing to everyday health and well-being.
The programme focused on balanced nutrition, mindful eating and practical everyday food choices, encouraging employees to understand how small changes in routine can contribute to long-term wellness. Laxmi Diamonds described the initiative as part of its belief that caring for employees means strengthening the wider organisation. The company publicly shared the programme under the theme “Empowering the Laxmi Family. Nourishing Better Choices.” LinkedIn
The initiative gains greater context from the nature of Laxmi Diamonds’ business. Founded in Bengaluru in 2007 by Dr Chetan Kumar Mehta, the company specialises in Indian closed-setting diamond jewellery, with an emphasis on preserving traditional craftsmanship while adapting it for contemporary manufacturing. Its stated long-term ambition is to establish itself as a global leader in this specialised jewellery category. Laxmi Diamonds
Behind the finished jewellery is an extensive manufacturing process involving designers, technicians and skilled karigars. Laxmi Diamonds combines traditional hand skills with CAD, 3D rapid prototyping, casting, stone setting, polishing and quality-control systems, illustrating how heritage craftsmanship and modern production technology operate together within its manufacturing model.

The company’s people-development approach also extends into jewellery education. IIG South, established in Bengaluru in 2021 as the educational wing of Laxmi Diamonds, provides training across gemmology, diamond grading, jewellery design, CAD, manufacturing, merchandising and gold appraisal. Its stated objective is to prepare professionals for careers across the gems and jewellery industry. IIG South
This connection between manufacturing and education gives Laxmi Diamonds a presence beyond jewellery production alone. The business is simultaneously involved in preserving specialised craftsmanship, introducing technology into manufacturing and developing future industry talent.
Within that wider framework, the nutrition programme represents another dimension of investment in people. For a manufacturing business where craftsmanship depends heavily on the skill, concentration and continuity of its workforce, employee well-being has relevance beyond conventional corporate engagement.
By bringing nutrition awareness into the workplace, Laxmi Diamonds is reinforcing a broader idea: the people behind jewellery are as integral to the industry as the products they create.
