AN INSPIRING LEGACY OF EXCELLENCE AND VISIONARY LEADERSHIP OF DR. RAJENDRA JAIN

Revolutionizing the Fashion and Jewellery Industry with Passion and Innovation

It’s the voice of the Fashion, Gems & Jewellery domes and enunciation of their intertwined fate narrated through a collective representation of principles, artistry, passion, and togetherness. A family that bedecks the two industries and bespeaks the charisma of precious adornments. We present the SVAR group of companies by the Jain family. We are highly pleased as we converse with the man behind the SVAR Group – Dr. Rajendra Jain, and walk alongside him as he shares his vision and voice. Here is a descriptive version of the conversation with Dr. Rajendra Jain.

What is the significance of the name “SVAR”, and how does it reflect your family’s collective voice and values? How does SVAR contribute to the growth and success of its customers?

Dr. Rajendra Jain: SVAR is significant to my family as it represents our collective voice and values. The name is derived from the initials of each family member, making it a representation of my family’s voice. Each of us brings unique qualities and principles to the company, which has shaped SVAR into what it is today. My son, Siddhant, embodies innovation, ambition, and a drive for growth. Vidhi, my daughter, brings creativity, artistry, and a strong commitment to ethical work practices. My wife, Anita, serves as the foundation of SVAR, providing the strength, patience, and perseverance required for success. Lastly, I, Rajendra, bring extensive passion, experience, expertise, and strategic knowledge to propel the company to new heights.

At SVAR, we firmly believe that our success is intertwined with the growth of our customers. We prioritize building strong relationships with our customers, considering them as business partners and friends. Trust is fundamental to our interactions, and my personal credibility plays a vital role in fostering these relationships. We always strive to create a win-win situation, ensuring our customers and SVAR benefit from our collaborations.

One way SVAR contributes to our customers’ growth and success is through our brand-partner program. We actively promote our customers’ businesses and support them in their branding and marketing initiatives. By leveraging our network and resources, we assist them in surpassing their competition and reaching new heights. Our assistance extends beyond providing products or services; we go the extra mile to help our customers promote their businesses, connect with potential prospects, and offer tailored solutions.

SVAR holds a special place in the hearts of every family member. When we established our family-owned business, naming it SVAR Group of Companies was a natural choice. The name embodies our shared values, collective voice, and the deep connection we share with the company.

What inspired you to establish SVAR Group and pursue a career in the fashion, gems & jewellery industry after Swarovski?

Dr. Rajendra Jain: The closure of the Swarovski Gemstones business in India due to the impact of Covid marked the end of a beautiful chapter in my life. However, it also presented an opportunity called SVAR Group. I created a platform to channel my expertise and experience gained at Swarovski into building my enterprises under the SVAR umbrella.

Driven by my passion for the fashion, gems, & jewellery industry, I was inspired to establish SVAR Group as a diverse entity encompassing various facets of this dynamic field. SVAR FINE JEWELRY, SVAR GEMS, SVAR DIAMONDS, SVAR JEWELLERY TECHNOLOGY, SVAR EVENTS, SVAR MEDIA HOUSE (which runs Jewellery Magazine and Fashion Retail Magazine), and SVAR BRANDING & MARKETING Consultant collectively form the foundation of SVAR Group.

This new venture allows me to continue exploring and contributing to the industry I hold dear. I aim to create a platform that embraces innovation, craftsmanship, and excellence in the world of fashion, gems & jewellery. With SVAR Group, I have the freedom to explore various facets of the industry and create a diverse portfolio of businesses. Each venture within SVAR Group allows me to leverage my knowledge and skills while fulfilling my entrepreneurial aspirations.

The closure of Swarovski’s Gemstones business marked the end of one chapter but opened the door to an exciting new story with SVAR Group. It has been a journey of reinvention and a testament to my unwavering passion for the fashion, gems, & jewellery industry.

Could you share some insights into the divisions within SVAR Group and each division’s roles in the company’s overall success?
