Wholesale Diamond
Who is Anand Exports? Anand Exports is a family-owned diamond manufacturing company founded in 1989 in Surat, India. We specialize in sourcing ethical rough diamonds and utilizing decades of lapidary expertise to supply luxury jewelry brands worldwide with premium wholesale diamonds.
Anand Exports was established in Surat — at a time when India was rapidly becoming the world's foremost diamond cutting and polishing hub.
Our founder, with nearly four decades of rough-stone intuition, built the business around a simple principle: that every diamond, however small, deserves to be treated as irreplaceable. That ethos has guided our selection, planning, and polishing decisions every single day since.
Today, the second generation of the Anand family continues this legacy — integrating cutting-edge laser planning technology with old-world lapidary mastery to serve a global clientele from Antwerp to Tokyo.
Founded by Popatbhai, Harsukhbhai, Gordhanbhai, Ashwinbhai, and Ramnikbhai with a singular focus on ethical sourcing and master craftsmanship in India's diamond capital.
Expanded operations to Opera House, Mumbai — entering the financial heartbeat of India's diamond trade and opening access to international markets.
Transitioned to the Mumbai Diamond Bourse — the world's premier diamond trading hub — to better serve Antwerp, Hong Kong, and New York export channels.
Launched sustainability initiatives — funding and operating 2 schools in Surat for children of our artisans and the broader community.
Over 600 skilled artisans. Custom rough and polished parcels delivered globally — B2B and B2C — backed by 35 years of unbroken family trust.
Industry bodies and certifications that validate our standing in the global diamond trade.
Our operating principles are not aspirational statements — they are the standard we have held ourselves to every day for nearly four decades.
Every rough diamond we procure carries a Kimberley Process certificate. We conduct independent mine-of-origin audits and maintain transparent chain-of-custody records accessible to our buyers.
We reject any stone that does not meet our internal grading thresholds — which exceed GIA standards at every clarity and colour level. Our rejection rate of 12% of sourced parcels is our quality guarantee.
Over 80% of our revenue comes from repeat buyers. We build partnerships, not transactions — understanding each client's specific quality windows, price points, and delivery timelines.
Anand Exports was established through the shared vision of five partners who laid the foundation for our global presence and craftsmanship.
Anand Exports has been a Kimberley Process participant since 2004 — one of the earliest Indian diamond merchants to adopt the full certification scheme. But we believe KP compliance is a floor, not a ceiling.
We conduct voluntary mine-of-origin audits, participate in the Responsible Jewellery Council's certification programme, and publish an annual transparency report available to all verified buyers.
"We believe that a diamond's provenance is as important as its brilliance. The story of where it came from must be one of integrity."
— The Founding Partners
We believe responsible business means caring for the communities and environment connected to every diamond we cut.
Anand Exports has operated under the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme since 2004. Every rough diamond arrives with a KP certificate and full chain-of-custody documentation — we verify provenance before purchase, not after.
Over 600 skilled artisans — many from multi-generational lapidary families — work in our Surat facility. We fund two schools in the Katargam district that serve the children of our workers and the broader community, offering free primary education.
Our Surat workshop runs on a partial solar installation covering 40% of daytime energy needs. We use water-recycling systems in our polishing operations, and all packaging is plastic-free — shipped in acid-free paper and recyclable boxes.
