Leading Indian businessmen have expressed their interest to invest in setting up jewellery manufacturing factories in Bangladesh.
The traders lauded Bangladeshi artisans and said Bangladesh has a reputation for handmade jewellery. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Indian businessmen want to come forward with technical and technological support.
Earlier on June 28, Bashundhara Group Managing Director and Bangladesh Jewellers’ Association (BAJUS) President Sayem Sobhan Anvir inaugurates the B2B summit ‘Sonar Bangla’ in India’s Goa.
They have shown the interest after receiving a request from BAJUS President Sayem Sobhan Anvir during an international expo held in India recently.
Addressing the opening ceremony of the exposition, the BAJUS President said Bangladesh has skilled goldsmiths while India has skilled designers.
“The collaboration between the two neighbours will help boost the industry. The subcontinent will lead the global jewellery industry with joint efforts. None will be able to hinder the growth of the sector,” he said.
BAJUS in association with Indian company KNC Services Ltd organised the first-ever B2B summit styled ‘Sonar Bangla’ at five-star hotel The Leela in the Indian state of Goa.
