The show’s growing popularity is attributed to Hyderabad’s emergence as a vibrant jewellery hub, its central and accessible location, the convenient GMR Arena venue near the airport, its timing for post-festive season restocking, and its well-managed B2B environment. HIJS also features Special Knowledge Sessions and Seminars on business, market trends, and technology. A highlight is the Kohinoor Jewellery Awards and Fashion Nite, a by-invitation event on the first day with Bollywood actress Kainaat Arora as Chief Guest, where industry leaders are honored, and jewellery collections are showcased by top models.
HIJS 2025 is strictly a B2B event, with entry restricted to jewellery industry members. It is part of a series of B2B events United Exhibitions is organizing across India in 2025.
