Rahul Desai brings luxury learning on the go with loupe insight season 4

Sep 07, 2026

Artboard 14.jpg 1Titled The New Code of Luxury Jewellery, the new season addresses the ideas, experiences and strategies redefining luxury jewellery retail.

As luxury and premium jewellery become increasingly important growth categories, the industry is also confronting a fundamental question, What does luxury truly mean today?

Is it an expensive product? A beautiful store? Highly personalized attention? Or an experience that customers cannot find elsewhere?

Addressing these questions, jewellery industry mentor, coach, and business strategist Rahul Desai has announced the fourth season of his podcast, Loupe Insight. Titled The New Code of Luxury Jewellery, the season brings focused luxury education to professionals on the go, translating an often abstract subject into practical sessions for the jewellery industry.

Today, the terms premium, luxury and ultra-premium are frequently used interchangeably. At the same time, many experiences positioned as luxury are simply examples of good service. This lack of clarity can influence everything from store design and merchandise selection to pricing, communication and customer engagement.

Through the new season, Rahul aims to help jewellers understand these distinctions and build a more relevant approach to luxury.

“Luxury is becoming a game changer for jewellery businesses, but the word itself is often misunderstood. A larger store, a more expensive collection or better hospitality does not automatically create a luxury brand. Luxury begins when every element, from the product and environment to the conversation and after-sales relationship, delivers a distinct sense of value,” said Rahul Desai, CEO & MD of IIG, and Founder of RD consultancy.

Across the season, Rahul examines how the meaning of luxury is changing from distant aspiration to greater emotional and lifestyle relevance. The episodes explore subjects such as the difference between premium and luxury, the role of experience in creating perceived value, changing customer expectations, personalization, exclusivity and the new codes influencing modern jewellery retail.

The fourth season of Loupe Insight is supported by Sanghi Jewellers, Finestar Diamonds, Polygon, Jwero.ai and Svar, bringing together respected names from across the jewellery industry to support accessible, future-focused learning for the sector.

The season also challenges the belief that luxury is created only through elaborate interiors, chandeliers or champagne. Instead, it asks jewellers to look more closely at the complete customer journey: how a client is welcomed, how a jewel is introduced, how confidently its value is communicated and how the relationship continues after the purchase.

Designed as short, focused episodes, Loupe Insight makes these conversations accessible to business owners, retailers, manufacturers, designers, sales professionals and students. The “luxury on the go” format allows industry professionals to engage with important business ideas while traveling, working or moving through their day.

Drawing on more than 25 years of experience in jewellery education, retail strategy and industry mentoring, Desai brings together global luxury thinking and the realities of operating within India’s relationship-driven jewellery market.

Loupe Insight Season 4: The New Code of Luxury Jewellery continues the podcast’s larger purpose: helping the industry look beyond products and understand the forces shaping the future of jewellery business.

The new season will be available across Loupe Insight’s digital and podcast platforms.
