Mumbai, 31 March 2026: The International Gemological Institute (IGI) has partnered with
Gujarat Titans (GT) for the current edition of the Indian T20 League. The association is part
of IGI’s ongoing effort to strengthen consumer awareness, transparency, and responsible
decision-making in the jewelry industry. By leveraging the scale and influence of the Gujarat
Titans, IGI aims to make diamond certification more accessible and relevant to a wider
audience.
Speaking about the initiative, Mr. Tehmasp Printer, Global CEO, IGI, said, “Just as cricket
relies on DRS to ensure every decision is accurate and beyond doubt, IGI brings that same
standard of independent review to every diamond it certifies. The 4Cs: Cut, Clarity, Carat,
and Color, form the foundation of our work, enabling transparency and trust. Gujarat Titans
reflect the same discipline, consistency and pursuit of excellence that sit at the core of IGI.
Through this partnership, we intend to reach a wider audience and reinforce the importance
of informed, confident decision-making in diamond and precious gemstone purchases.”
Speaking on the occasion, Colonel Arvinder Singh, COO, Gujarat Titans, said, “We are very
happy to partner with the International Gemological Institute. Gujarat has always been
closely linked with craftsmanship, precision and a strong legacy of excellence, and this
association reflects a shared commitment to these values. At Gujarat Titans, we look to
collaborate with partners who stand for trust, integrity and consistency in their domain. For
Gujarat Titans, this partnership further strengthens our endeavour to align with like-minded
organizations as we continue to build a purpose-driven and high-performance ecosystem
around the team.”
As an associate partner, IGI’s logo will be visible on the Gujarat Titans uniform throughout
the season.
