What we do
Gold reaches us as doré bars, an alloy of gold and other metals carrying impurities. Our refining process removes them and returns gold in its purest form.
Gold bars and ingots recognised as at least 99.5% or 99.9% pure, in a variety of denominations and in .999 or 916 purity. We are the number one supplier of gold and other metals to jewellers in South India.
From bullion to jewellery, made with a blend of cutting-edge technology and master craftsmanship at our own refining and production facility in Punalur.
We collaborate with the world's top mining companies to collect gold and refine it, supplying local and international markets.

Doré arrives
The gold we receive for purification is called a doré bar: an alloy of gold and other metals. It is extracted from mined ore and is not yet pure, so impurities have to be removed.
Refined in fire
The refining process removes those impurities. Our refinery accepts high, medium and low grade inputs, from mined doré to jewellery scrap, and turns them into gold in its purest form.
Cast into bullion
Refined gold is cast into bars and ingots. Bullion is gold officially recognised as at least 99.5% or 99.9% pure, and it comes in a variety of denominations.
Ready to hold
Finished bars leave in .999 or 916 purity. Bullion is the classic hedge in an inflationary economy: solid value that keeps pace with prices, and very liquid.

Reasons to count on us
Corporate integrity is a vital part of corporate success. We keep ethics and integrity across the organisation and work consistently to a set of values and moral principles. Our motto is that quality will make us stand out in a competitive market.
The first and foremost factor of a business is to be answerable to its shareholders, stakeholders and the owners who have invested money in it. We take that responsibility seriously.
Worldwide acknowledgment of better product quality and a wide range of high-quality standards are our prime areas of focus. Quality is the prime trademark value of gold, and we don't compromise on it at any cost.
We follow extraordinary practices in managing the organisation and delivering results. Excellence is both a goal in itself and the way to achieve that goal.
Mining the ore is just one stage in a long, complex process. Significant exploration and development must happen first, both to size the mineral deposit and to plan how to extract and process the ore efficiently, safely and responsibly. It can take 10 to 20 years after a deposit is discovered before a mine is ready to produce material that can be refined into bullion.
Facilities
We constantly keep up with the latest technologies in the market to maximise output of stock at competitive prices. Our manufacturing proficiency lies in a perfect blend of cutting-edge technology and master craftsmanship.
We have redefined our business with technological advancements, because we believe that staying technologically updated helps us serve the market better.

Message from the Managing Director
We have been working very actively in the field of gold trading and mining for the last 16 years. A very big dream of mine and my team since then is now coming true. As Paulo Coelho said, when you want something, when you have a strong desire, all the universe conspires in helping you achieve it. So this dream was achieved by me and those around me.
The aim behind this initiative is to provide the best quality gold in the best possible way, and to provide gold in its purest form for everyone to save as a real asset.
But You, O LORD, are a shield around me, my glory, and the lifter of my head.
The market we serve
Gold = asset + money
Gold doesn't just signify jewellery value. It has long been used as a medium of exchange, or money. It can be beautifully shaped and sculpted, it conducts electricity and it does not tarnish, which makes it the metal of choice for the industrial, medical and technology industries. Almost every established culture has used gold to symbolise power, beauty, purity and accomplishment.
Silver bullion
Silver bullion is highly concentrated silver, typically defined as 99.9% pure. It comes as bars, coins or "rounds", and it derives its value solely from its metal content, with no artistic or collectible value. One troy ounce is the most popular size, but weights range from one gram to 10 kilograms.
