Paresh T. Shah

Mr. Paresh Shah, the owner and Managing Director of Brilliant Diamond, started his career in Mumbai at the age of seventeen. He came from a very humble background and through hard work, patience and honesty started his own business by the time he graduated from college.

He expanded his manufacturing capability by setting up a diamond cutting and polishing factory in Trichur, Kerala. Mr. Paresh's desire to forward integrate eventually led him to Dubai, where in a matter of fourteen years he had expanded his business multifold in every area of the diamond industry.

Today, his companies have expanded into the segments of diamond trading, jewellery manufacturing and jewellery retail.
