Gem & Jewellery Industry & Trade pays a Tribute to Mr Shaankar Sen

With profound sorrow that we announce the demise of our respected Chairman and Managing Director- Gold & Diamonds, Mr Shaankar Sen.

Mr Shaankar Sen, 63 is a shining example of Bengali entrepreneurship and has been instrumental in putting the brand Senco Gold and Diamonds on the National map. From owning just three jewellery stores in Kolkata that he inherited from his father, in the early 1990s to more than 100 across the country today!

Mr Sen has made Senco Gold and Diamonds, the largest gold jeweller from eastern India and has expanded its footprint across 14 states. Mr Sen will be remembered as a man with a vision, a dynamic and inspirational leader who always had a smile on his face and immense wisdom.
