VIKAS SINGHVI

Learn first. Lead next.

For Vikas, business never began with a title. It began with learning the work from the ground up. Before stepping into leadership, he immersed himself in the grit of retail operations, technical machinery, and the relentless discipline required to build lasting trust in the jewellery domain.

“Family business may give you an opportunity. Knowledge, responsibility and respect still have to be earned.”
— Vikas Singhvi

◆ Then Came Behind The Karats

A platform created to move beyond titles, numbers and polished success stories. To talk about the choices. The setbacks. The lessons. And the people behind the journey.

Gold is measured in karats. A life's work is not.

Every conversation goes past the showroom — to the risk taken, the year lost, and the call that changed everything.
