Early life and background

Russell Arunbhai Mehta was born in Bhavnagar, Gujarat, in 1960 into a Gujarati family with roots in agriculture; his father initially worked in cotton farming. He grew up in a family that would later build one of the world’s prominent diamond trading concerns. Mehta completed a Bachelor of Commerce and pursued specialised training in diamonds, including a diploma from the Gemological Institute of America in Carlsbad, California.

Career

Mehta is a diamantaire by profession and serves as managing director of Rosy Blue, a business that traces its trading origins to more than five decades ago when it operated under the name B Arunkumar. Under the Rosy Blue umbrella, the group operates two main legal entities: Rosy Blue (India), which runs domestic operations, and Rosy Blue Investments Sarl, which handles international activities. The company’s jewellery manufacturing division, Inter Gold, is described as one of the largest diamond jewellery manufacturers globally.

Rosy Blue has an extensive retail presence in India with more than 30 stores and conducts diamond trade across a dozen countries. The group also owns the retail jewellery brand Orra. Family involvement has been part of the company’s international expansion: Mehta’s father, Arun Ramniklal Mehta, selected family members to launch and manage key overseas units, including operations in Antwerp and Dubai.
