Company Profile

Dewaki Jewels & Gems Pvt.Ltd is a jewellery manufacturing firm situated in the city of
Hyderabad. It basically deals in Temple jewellery or South Indian jewellery and is one of the
first and finest manufacturers of Temple jewellery in Hyderabad. It has a large market base in
Hyderabad as well as other cities like Bangalore, Chennai, Mumbai, Jodhpur, Coimbatore and
Surat.

History
Dewaki Jewels & Gems Pvt. Ltd was established in the year 1992 on the 6th of December as
Dewaki Gems, a sole trading concern dealing only in precious stones by Ramesh Chandra
Goyal. On the day of its inauguration a curfew was declared in Hyderabad due to the riots and
protests by the Muslims in Hyderabad which were caused by the demolition of Babri Mosque in
Ayodhya, but still it was inaugurated successfully and started its business only after the curfew
was removed.

In the first few years of its establishment, Dewaki only dealt in precious stones like Ruby,
Emerald, Blue Sapphire, Yellow Sapphire, Cats eye, Flat diamonds, Cut and Uncut diamonds,
Pearls and various other non-precious stones like Corals, Cosmic zirconium, etc. It was then also
a wholesale firm which sold these stones only to jewellery manufacturers on a contract basis.

After a few years as Dewaki gained name and fame in the market Mr. Goyal wanted to expand
its business so he decided to enter the field of jewellery manufacturing in 1997.At first he
surveyed the market to know the tastes and preferences of the customers in Hyderabad as well as
Bangalore. First he started production on a very small scale producing small items like rings, ear

rings, nose pins, etc. He personally used to go to showrooms to show his creations but always got
rejected by big showrooms. But after many rejections and hardships finally one showroom in
Bangalore, name Swarna Jewellers liked the designs and then the journey from Dewaki
Gems to Dewaki Jewels & Gems Pvt. Ltd. Started and in just four years it established a good
customer base in Bangalore. Although its Hyderabad market was still weak it kept on growing
due to its increasing customer base in Bangalore.

Dewaki was doing business smoothly and establishing itself in the market but in 2002, due to the
sudden demise of Mr. Goyal it came to a standstill as his two sons were not very experienced in
the field of business so it came to the same position as it was back in 1997. However they
learned quickly from their mistakes and took Dewaki to even greater heights. Today Dewaki is a
registered small scale private company with a net worth of about Rs.25Crore and an average
turnover of about Rs.60 Crore.

Business
Dewaki was started as a sole trading concern dealing in precious stones but today it has
expanded its business drastically and not only deals in precious stones but also manufactures
jewellery. With every year passing Dewaki is able to increase its customer base, sales as well as
annual turnover. It mainly deals in Temple jewellery and Flat Diamonds jewellery. Temple

jewellery does not mean jewellery for temple gods but it is a term used for those jewellery items
which are completely of gold with carvings of gods or other designs and contains minimum or no
stones.

There are very few jewellery manufacturing firms in India which deal in jewellery with carvings
(popularly called in the field as Nakshi jewellery) and Dewaki is one of them. Thus, the
demand for such jewellery is high in the market especially in the south and the supply is not able
to meet the demand. Some of its other designs that are famous in the market are:

Peacock Bangles in different variations of stones ;


Double Line Necklaces in different designs as well as stone combination ;
Chandbalis or Moon earrings in various sizes, stone combinations and designs ;
Jumkas peacock, flower, round and some other variations ;
Temple designs like Goddess Durga Necklace, Ganesh Pendant, Balaji Pendant, etc.

Some of its important clients include Musaddilal&Sons, MamrajMusaddilal, Surya Jewels,


Abharanam Jewellers, Tatiwalas, Sri Krishna Jewellers, etc.

Production Process
The production process to manufacture jewellery is a very lengthy process which might extend
up to 10 days even for a small item like an earring. Any jewellery item goes through the
following stages of the production process:

Designing This is the first or the initial stage where the item to be produced is drawn
roughly on a paper and when the design is approved then it is finally drawn on the butter
paper. This is the most important stage because the design plays the most important role
and for this a professional designer is hired. This job requires a lot of innovation and
creativity because every design has to be different as well as it should be good enough to
be made into a physical item.
TrialOnce the design is finalised, a copy the design is given to the goldsmith who
makes a trial model using either bronze or silver. If the trial is successful then the demo is
preserved for future use which is called Master and this master is given a unique
number and can be used whenever the same design has to produce.

Wax Tree After the master is prepared, this Master is used to prepare what is called a
wax tree. A wax tree is in the form of a tree and instead of leaves it contains the various
parts of the item to be produced. A jewellery item cannot be produced in a single piece
and thus, it has to be produced in pieces and then joined or soldered.

4
Gold Tree Soon after the wax tree is prepared it is placed in a big container and plaster
is poured on it. Once the plaster hardens, the plaster block is placed in a heating machine
where the plaster block is heated until the wax vaporizes and immediately without any
delay heated liquid gold is poured into it. Then it is cooled down so that the gold hardens
and takes the shape of the wax tree. The plaster is broken and the gold tree is ready.

Soldering After the tree is ready, its leaves (pieces) are cut and soldered accordingly
using a special gold soldering machine. Now the basic structural design is ready.

Carving or NakshiOnce the solid structure is ready if there are any carvings to be
engraved according to the design, it is sent to the engraver who engraves the required
design.
PolishingNow the item is dipped in hot boiling acid so that all the impurities, if any, are
removed. Then it is dipped in gold water to enhance the colour and lastly polished in a
buffing machine.
Stone Setting After all the above initial stages are done, the next stage or the
intermediate stage is of stone setting. In this stage, the goldsmith assorts the stones
according to the requirement and sets them in the jewellery item.
Finishing Now that the item is ready as per the final design, some finishing procedures
like final polishing, Gillette and Bandhini are performed to enhance its look. The final
product is ready for sale.
Note: On an average the above stages take about 8 days to complete before the final
product is ready for sale.

Departments

There are no departments as such but the organization can be divided into three parts:

Issues cum Stores department It is the main department of the organization whose
work is to monitor the stock of raw materials as well as issue the materials required for
production to the goldsmiths. This department is handled by a manager under whom four
people worked. This department can be called as the heart and brain of the organization.

Factory or Production department This is the place where all the production
procedure takes place. This department is managed by the head goldsmith who employs
fifty people under him who perform all the production work. The head goldsmith
supervises them and is answerable to the owners. The factory is both the living place as
well as the work place for the goldsmiths.
Main Office It is where the owners sit and manage all the activities. All the sales
activities, client dealings and accounting activities are performed in the main office. It is
the control centre which organizes and manages the other two departments.

Designation:
Associate Junior Manager in the Issues cum Stores department.

Job Role:
My role there was to maintain the daily accounts of the issues of raw materials to the
goldsmiths as well as looking over the stock of raw materials like various stones, etc.
required for the process of production.

In Detail:
This was a non paid internship as I was an amateur and went there to learn how a
business works. In the first two weeks of my internship I was not given any responsibility
or work but rather I was made to sit and taught how the daily transactions took place and
how to record and analyse them.
In the next two weeks I was given the responsibility of recording the issues to the
goldsmiths in the books. It looked very easy but it was difficult because minute things
also have to be looked upon with even focus. Even a small mistake in recording an issue
can cost a lot to the organization because gold is a very expensive metal. In the initial
stages I made a lot of mistakes in recording the transactions but as time passed I learned
from my mistakes and within a month learnt about all the issues and the maintenance of
stock.

8
After two months of working there I was given the responsibility of both managing the
issues as well as stock, however, the manager always supervised my transactions but it
was a huge morale boost to be given such a big responsibility. Since then I worked with
full dedication towards the organization in order to achieve both organizational as well as
self goals.
During my internship in this organization I was even provided with an opportunity to
attend the most important and the biggest jewellery exhibition in India The IIJS
(India International Jewellery Show) taking place in the month of September every year
in Mumbai. It was a great learning as well as a fun experience visiting the exhibition,
meeting lots of other traders who had installed jewellery counters with their firm names.
It is the biggest jewellery exhibition in India where traders from all over the world come
together to put up a brilliant display. It can be called as a jewellery carnival. Visiting the
exhibition I learnt how to communicate and handle customers effectively. Overall it was a
great learning experience working as an intern in the organization.

Conclusion
It has been an amazing journey working with the organization which always strives to
provide quality product and service to its customers. This internship has taught me a lot

and I will be grateful both to Dewaki and my college who helped me complete my
internship successfully.
Prior to the internship I was a shy person who was unable to communicate with people
effectively and possessed only theoretical knowledge about various subjects like
accounting, business ethics, human resource management, stock management, etc. After
interning for about six months in the organization I learnt not only communication skills
but also my decision making skills improved. I also got a practical insight into the
theoretical subjects by practically applying them into the business world during my
course of internship.
Dewaki is a reputed firm which follows all the rules and regulations and always strives to
provide its customers the best quality products. Every ornament that is made is
hallmarked that justifies the purity of the gold used to make it which makes it
trustworthy. The making charges are also less as compared to other manufacturers
because it has a very cost effective production process.

10
Thus, to sum up my experience at Dewaki, I can say that these six months have been a
great learning experience for me as I have learnt how an organization is run, how the
human resource is managed, the production procedures, pros and cons of a business and
most importantly theoretical subjects as a practical experience. This internship has
definitely provided me with valuable knowledge and experience which will be helpful
throughout my career and provide me a competitive advantage over others. I will always
remember the things I have learned during my six month internship period.
