Journey
A quiet, continuous line of work.
Not every milestone in a founder's life has a date next to it. Here are the chapters that shaped the businesses I run today.
Early years
Entering the jewelry industry
Learned the craft and language of the diamond and jewelry trade from the ground up — the details, the vocabulary, and the relationships that hold the industry together.
2013
Star Designs Inc. takes shape
Formalized the jewelry and diamond trade practice into Star Designs Inc., serving jewelers and designers in New York's Diamond District with natural, lab-grown, and colored diamonds plus full production services.
Growth
Expanding into technology & operations
Began pairing traditional trade work with better operations, digital tools, and systems that could scale without losing the personal touch.
2017
Founded Ideal Jodi
Established Ideal Jodi as an international matchmaking platform for Indian and South Asian communities, built around verified profiles and personal support.
2018
Launched Kea Jewelry
Introduced Kea Jewelry as a consumer-facing brand, bringing the craftsmanship of the trade side to a modern, accessible fine jewelry buying experience.
Ongoing
Growing international communities
Expanded Ideal Jodi's reach across the US, India, Canada, the UK, Australia, and beyond — investing in the community, not just the product.
2026
Founded Dilora
Built Dilora as a dating app for South Asian singles — a modern, culturally intentional way to meet people who share similar values, backgrounds, and relationship goals.
Today
Digital platforms & new consumer brands
Continuing to develop digital platforms across the portfolio while deepening each business's commitment to quality, relationships, and thoughtful technology.
