A Multifaceted Entrepreneur with a Global Perspective
Atul Jogani, Chairman of the Jogani Group and Founder of Livingstone Diamonds Co Ltd and Almac Sports, has spent over three decades transforming Thailand’s gemstone industry landscape. With deep roots in both India and Thailand, he combines entrepreneurial instinct with an innate understanding of market evolution. Originally from Mumbai, Atul earned his Bachelor of Commerce from the University of Mumbai before moving to Bangkok to establish new business avenues. His bold decision to expand into Southeast Asia came at a time when the Far East remained relatively untapped for the diamond and colored stone trade.
In the midst of this transformation, this Bangkok Jewelers news report notes how his leadership and foresight laid the groundwork for Thai businesses to engage with international partners more confidently and efficiently.
Empowering the Next Generation of the Gem Industry
Through the Jogani Group and his role as President of the Indian Thai Diamond and Colour Stone Association, Atul has consistently worked to create platforms for collaboration between Thai and Indian jewelers. His approach focuses on training, ethical trade, and technology integration. He believes that for Thailand to sustain its position as a premier jewelry hub, both nations must share expertise in craftsmanship, marketing, and global distribution networks. His efforts have helped attract several Indian businesses to set up operations in Thailand, strengthening local employment and establishing Bangkok as a central node in the global gem supply chain.
