Aligning with Botswana’s rapid transformation, international investor Karan Javeri is emerging as a leading force in the country’s diamond sector. His work with Stargems Botswana, a vertically integrated diamond and jewelry company, reflects resilience, deep industry expertise, and a commitment to reshaping the local diamond supply chain through innovation and excellence.
Stargems operates in Gaborone, Antwerp, Dubai, Hong Kong, Johannesburg, and Mumbai, giving it a strong global footprint. In Botswana, the company’s efforts are closely linked to the Botswana Economic Transformation Programme, with tangible results such as the development and employment of local talent. This investment in Batswana professionals strengthens the country’s human capital base and boosts its long-term competitiveness.
From Dubai, Javeri has built Stargems’ vertical offerings across the Middle East and gained a reputation for elevating the diamond business into an art form. The company’s luxury jewelry brands, KIYOSHI and CHERRY, are known for delivering premium products that combine craftsmanship with the finest materials.
Stargems’ extensive supplier relationships and global sourcing capabilities position it to secure top-quality raw materials from Botswana, the world’s largest diamond producer by value. While the country ranks second in production volume, its high-quality gems play a critical role in shaping Botswana’s strong global standing in the diamond market.
Through his leadership, Javeri continues to demonstrate how aligning global expertise with local potential can create sustainable growth in one of Botswana’s most valuable industries.
