DEEPALI JAIN: CREATING A TRANSPARENT, TECH-LED FUTURE FOR THE GLOBAL DIAMOND INDUSTRY
For centuries, diamonds have symbolised rarity, value, and aspiration. Yet, beneath the surface of this prestigious industry lies a complex network of sourcing, pricing, and trust-based relationships that have often lacked transparency. As global markets evolve and digital adoption accelerates, the diamond trade is undergoing a necessary transformation. At the forefront of this shift is Deepali Vijay Jain, Founder and Chairwoman of DiamondXE Private Limited, whose vision is reshaping how diamonds are traded, verified, and valued worldwide.
Deepali’s association with the diamond industry began early in life. Growing up in a family involved in the gem and jewellery trade, she gained exposure to the inner workings of the market from a young age. However, rather than simply absorbing tradition, she observed the inefficiencies that persisted within the system. Over time, she recognised a clear disconnect between value and visibility—buyers often lacked clarity on pricing and certification, while sellers struggled with limited access to global markets and heavy dependence on intermediaries.
Motivated by a desire to build solutions rather than adapt to limitations, Deepali embarked on her entrepreneurial journey at the age of 25. With an initial investment of ₹6 crore, she began conceptualising a platform that could address these structural gaps. Her ambition extended beyond launching a business; she aimed to modernise an industry by introducing transparency, accessibility, and technology-driven efficiency at scale.
Incorporated on 11 October 2022, DiamondXE Private Limited was designed as a global digital marketplace for certified natural and lab-grown diamonds. Unlike traditional trading models reliant on closed networks and subjective negotiations, DiamondXE operates on data-backed systems and verified information. Today, the platform hosts over 500,000 certified diamonds, connecting jewellers, dealers, retailers, and institutional buyers across multiple geographies. With a present turnover of ₹8.5 crore, the company has established a strong foundation in a short period.
Technology forms the backbone of DiamondXE’s operations. The platform integrates verified certifications, transparent pricing tools, secure payment gateways, and reliable logistics support. This comprehensive ecosystem enables buyers to make informed decisions with confidence, while allowing sellers to scale operations and reach new markets efficiently. By reducing dependency on intermediaries, DiamondXE enhances fairness and efficiency across the value chain.
Beyond commercial benefits, DiamondXE plays a significant role in promoting responsible industry practices. Certified sourcing and transparent documentation improve accountability and help combat unethical practices. Deepali firmly believes that long-term success in high-value industries must be built on ethical foundations. For her, transparency is not a differentiator—it is a responsibility.
The journey of building DiamondXE was marked by challenges that tested resilience and patience. The diamond industry, deeply rooted in tradition, is often cautious in embracing digital disruption. Convincing stakeholders to trust a technology-led platform required credibility, consistent performance, and education. Operational complexities, global compliance requirements, and inventory management demanded strategic discipline. Balancing these demands with personal responsibilities added further pressure.
Leadership, for Deepali, is shaped by values instilled by her father, whom she regards as her greatest professional influence. His emphasis on integrity, humility, and long-term vision continues to guide her decision-making. These values are deeply embedded in DiamondXE’s organisational culture, influencing how teams operate and how partnerships are built.
Deepali’s leadership style is marked by clarity, adaptability, and empowerment. She believes in creating systems that allow people to perform at their best, supported by data and accountability. Rather than pursuing aggressive expansion, she focuses on building scalable, resilient structures that can withstand market volatility. This approach has enabled DiamondXE to grow steadily while maintaining trust among its stakeholders.
Looking ahead, DiamondXE is actively investing in advanced analytics and AI-driven technologies to further enhance price discovery, inventory management, and customer experience. International expansion remains a key priority, with plans to deepen presence in global markets while maintaining stringent ethical and compliance standards. Deepali envisions DiamondXE becoming a benchmark for transparency-driven marketplaces in the luxury goods sector.
Entrepreneurship has taught Deepali that progress is rarely linear. Markets fluctuate, challenges emerge, and resilience is built through consistency. Her advice to aspiring entrepreneurs reflects these lessons—identify genuine problems, invest in people, build trust relentlessly, and remain committed to ethical practices even under pressure.
Today, DiamondXE stands as a reflection of Deepali Jain’s purpose-driven leadership. By aligning technology with transparency and responsibility, she is helping redefine the future of diamond trading. Her journey illustrates that when innovation is guided by values, it creates impact that extends far beyond commercial success.
