The World Gold Council (WGC), representing global gold miners, has named Sachin Jain as its new CEO for India, effective from March. Jain’s extensive experience, particularly in the jewellery market and strategic leadership, positions him well for this crucial role.
Jain joins WGC India from De Beers, where he served in various senior capacities over the past 13 years. Notably, as Managing Director of De Beers India, he spearheaded the De Beers Forevermark business in India and West Asia. His tenure at De Beers equipped him with a deep understanding of the Indian consumer psyche and jewelry market dynamics.
Prior to his stint at De Beers, Jain held significant roles at renowned companies such as Lladro, Swatch Group, and Benetton. His diverse experience spans over two decades, reflecting his versatile skill set and strategic acumen.
Jain’s appointment signifies WGC’s commitment to bolstering its engagement with key stakeholders and enhancing gold’s prominence in investment portfolios. David Tait, Global CEO of World Gold Council, expressed confidence in Jain’s marketing expertise to elevate the Council’s profile within the gold industry and financial institutions.
In his statement, Jain articulated his vision for the gold industry in India, emphasizing sustainable practices, stakeholder engagement, responsible sourcing, and the strategic positioning of gold as an investment asset. He aims to drive positive change while fostering economic growth in India through the gold sector.

Additionally, Somasundaram will remain engaged with WGC as an advisor on crucial initiatives, including the establishment of a self-regulatory organization (SRO) for the Indian gold industry.
