Dear Hitesh,
I am developing India’s first private gold mine in A.P. This mine was originally mined by the Emperor Ashoka some 2300 years ago.. I have had many years of marketing both gold and diamonds in Australia. We had enormous success marketing a local product. In this case the gold would come from the Emperor Ashoka’s gold mine. I tried to explain my views to the bullion Dept. at Tanishq but they could not appreciate the upside of Indian mined gold as a marketing tool.
I would be interested to discuss with you about this opportunity.
