							<p>70 years of India and more than 75 years of the Hari Prasad Gopi Krishna Saraf Group, resulted in the formation of its evolved identity AISSHPRA GEMS & JEWELS. The fundamental existence has been revamped to cater to the needs of the newer audience in and around Uttar Pradesh.<br/><br/>The new logo monogram of the Group is called “Swarna Kamal” (Golden Lotus) with its 8 petals in flowing form, it is symbolic of the purity of gold and the beauty of design which is what attracts every woman to her jewellery.</p>

							<p>Aisshpra Gems and Jewels are 3rd Generation Jewellers, established in 1940. For the last 76 years the Group have been providing exceptional jewellery pieces and unmatched service to our customers.</p>
							<img src="img/abt/Mutual-Respect-min.png" class="img-responsive" style="float:left;width:650px;margin-right:30px;"><p><b>TRANSFORMATION (PARIVARTAN) - milestones in the past 6 months:</b><br/>
							The jewellery at Aisshpra is largely for the masses with gold, diamonds and gemstones dominating the entire range of inventory. There is also a fair amount of silver jewellery and artefacts and soon Aisshpra is also starting a bit of fashion jewellery in response to the needs of the local consumers.<br/><br/>
							
							Gorakhpur and the surrounding areas largely have an affinity for a buying pattern of 23/18 K Gold Purity. Inspite of the a few branded players having marked their foray, not much had changed in this regards. Aisshpra launched its forthright campaign “Parivartan ki aur hamara Kadam” that educated the local masses that Hallmarking needs to be embraced before it becomes a mandate. The call of 100% Hallmarking = 100% Buyback with an option of 18K Hallmarked Gold Jewellery received appreciation and acceptance by their customers and a big mind-gap was bridged for the industry as a whole. It also positions Aisshpra as a Brand of Trust, Integrity & Ethics and the regions premier jewellery player that talks the language of the industry.</p>

							<p><b>Sri Balkrishnaji</b> along with his elder brother <b>Late Sri Gopi Krishnaji</b> founded the store measuring only 100 square feet in the year 1940 for the sales of “zari and gota”. Expanding into the retail segment, they added silver articles like anklets and toe-rings to their collection. Slowly with increasing demand and customer confidence gold jewellery was added to the collection and the building in which the shop was rented was purchased for expansion purposes. Balkrishna ji while training his son’s Atul & Anoop always inculcated the core value’s of trust, integrity and ethics and asked them to make it a part of their daily life.</p>

							<p><b>Telly Calendar 2017 Photoshoot at Langkawi with Balaji Telefilms & Marinating Films</b><br/>
							In 2017 we have started with a unique marketing initiative that is in collaboration with <b>Balaji Telefilms</b> subsidiary <b>Marinating Films</b> and has been shot in Langkawi. The <b>Telly Calendar 2017</b> where a dozen top TV Stars would be seen   adorning jewellery by Aisshpra will be sent out to select clientele of Aisshpra and the entire year will see the fantastic visuals of these TV stars across their marketing collaterals in stores and in outdoors. A peppy behind the scenes video format would also be seen playing across all locations and in the local cinemas. The entire collaborative process of this activity was done through <b>NYUZ</b>. Says Vaibhav Saraf who was present to flag off the launch in end December 2016 in Mumbai “<b>Aisshpra</b> is Gorakhpur’s premier destination for jewellery and Television is the most popular form of entertainment here. Hence we found it relevant to forge this strategic alliance with the TELLY CALENDAR and its 14 TV Starlets to build our brand as we evolve strongly with our virtues of Trust, Integrity and Ethics. We are sure it would be a great showcasing of our gold and diamond jewellery on some of TV’s top bahu’s and bitiya’s”</p>
							<p><b>Aisshpra Sales Program (ASP) – Training Initiative by Aisshpra</b>
							To echo the ethos of the brand, the family and their thoughts, Aisshpra has also begun its training initiatives for all.
