Founded in 1989, REL has carved a niche for itself in the global jewellery market by manufacturing and marketing best quality, exclusively-designed jewellery for customers from across the globe. Today, the company is considered the biggest gold processor in the world, with a refining capacity of a whopping 2,400 tons annually.

We believe in stretching our assets, and in growth.”On being questioned about the principle son which he runs his business, Mehta replies, “My inspiration comes from a family that’s running a restaurant or a shop. They work hard, they stretch their resources. The idea is to bring that attitude into a big company.”
