He became a site holder for the South African DeBeers Diamond Trading Corporation, and set up a cutting and polishing factories in Gujurat. He moved to Bombay to establish his trade throughout the world.

His daughter, Swati Shah grew up traveling the world and developed a passion for designing jewelry for her father’s rare stones. She decided to pursue her dreams and crafted her first collection of 40 earrings using diamonds and gemstones set in gold, all handmade. She sold them to clients in Bombay and New York to an overwhelming response; and started to design more collections over the years.
