Early Life & Inspirations
For Amit Subhash Naheta, jewelry is not just a profession,it is a legacy that runs through seven generations. Born into the illustrious Naheta family of jewelers, Amit grew up surrounded by gemstones, artistry, and stories of heritage. His grandfather, Shri Milapchandji Naheta, was a highly respected jeweler who was once invited by the Nizam of Hyderabad himself to evaluate precious jewels. His father, Subhash Naheta, continued this tradition, instilling in Amit a deep respect for craftsmanship, authenticity, and relationships.
From his childhood, Amit absorbed values of integrity, perseverance, and humility. He was inspired by the belief that “The true entrepreneur is a doer, not a dreamer.” This philosophy has shaped his journey—driven by action, not just aspiration.
Education & Foundation Years
Amit began his academic path at Sydenham College, Mumbai, one of India’s most prestigious institutions for commerce. Wanting to build a strong foundation in finance, he pursued Chartered Accountancy and trained under renowned firms such as Rajesh Rajeev & Associates and Lodha & Company. Here, he gained valuable exposure while auditing companies like Birla Periclase, Bennett Coleman, and DBS—learning discipline, financial clarity, and analytical thinking.
To strengthen his technical expertise in gems and jewelry, Amit earned the prestigious Graduate Gemologist (GIA) degree from Carlsbad, USA. This global exposure expanded his horizons, enriched his technical mastery, and connected him with the world’s finest standards of gemstone evaluation and jewelry design. Alongside, he invested in family business courses and personal coaching, sharpening his leadership abilities and entrepreneurial mindset.
