Vishal Jewels was founded by visionary Mr. Radhey Shyam
Maheshwari in 1944. The first jewellery store was opened in Chandni Chowk area
of Delhi and the premium jewellery showroom came up in Greater Kailash-1, M
block Market, New Delhi. Since then Vishal Jewels has been manufacturing and
retailing diamond and precious colour stone jewellery ranging from rings,
bracelets and bangles, to pendant sets, necklace sets and beyond.
For 3 generations, Vishal Jewels has been serving families all over India and has been entrusted with their Jewellery requirements for all occasions including weddings / engagement or gifts for special occasions.

Dr Amit Nagpal-You have an excellent educational background including schooling at Modern School, Barakhamba Road (New Delhi). What aspect of your business, you are passionate about ?
Saurabh Maheshwari-The trust of our customers in our ability to visualize
what they are looking for in terms of the product and the emotions attached
with the purchase decision, driving us to deliver the best that they could have
dreamt of, while keeping their budget considerations in our mind. This aspect
of our business makes it more exciting for us due to the responsibility
entrusted by our customer on us for giving them, what they want.
Along with this, our LEGACY of over 75 years and being a 3rd
generation jeweler, puts in a lot of faith and motivation in me to take this
forward to newer heights.
Dr Amit-What job / opportunity did you leave to follow your
passion?
Saurabh- The dream job of working in the marketing division of a
leading telecom giant of our country after completing my B.E in Telecom and MBA
(Marketing)
Dr Amit-What has been your biggest achievement till now?
Dr Amit-What has been your biggest achievement till now?
Saurabh- I can’t quantify any one achievement, but since entering
my family business about 8 years ago, the designing aesthetics and visual
appeal of our master pieces have changed, bringing in a lot of appreciation from
our customers.
So I can say that my own personal achievements in my business
