Surat Polishes 90% of the World's Diamonds. Here's How Little India Keeps.
About this episode
The episode discusses how Surat, India, plays a crucial role in the diamond industry and the shift from skill-based earnings to ownership of value.
Surat touches 9 out of every 10 diamonds in the world. 💎 But touching value is not the same as owning it. India masters precision. Others master perception. A worker earns ₹15,000 shaping a stone that later sells for ₹40 lakh under a global name. That gap is not skill. That gap is power. For decades, companies like De Beers controlled supply. Brands like Tiffany & Co. and Cartier controlled desire. And India stayed in the middle. Doing the hardest work. Keeping the smallest share. But this is shifting. With hubs like Surat Diamond Bourse and the rise of lab-grown diamonds, India finally has a chance to move from maker to owner. Here’s the real takeaway: If you only sell your skill, you earn a fee. If you own the story, you set the price. Don’t just create value. Capture it. 💬 Comment “BRAND” if this changed how you see success 🔁 Share this with someone still underpricing themselves 📌 Save this — you’ll need this reminder Follow @vishwasmudagal for levelupseries and newindiaseries #reels #india #vishwasmudagal #viralreel #fyp
