Nakshatra Stones Hits 1 Million Customers, Launches AI-Powered "Gem DNA" Authentication

[Mumbai | May 11, 2025] – Nakshatra Stones, Global Turner’s luxury gemstone and jewelry division, has achieved a significant milestone by surpassing one million customers worldwide, the company announced today at a glittering event in Mumbai’s JW Marriott. The achievement comes just three years after the brand’s relaunch under the Global Turner umbrella, representing 300% growth since 2021.

To commemorate this milestone and address growing concerns about gemstone authenticity in the luxury market, Nakshatra Stones unveiled its groundbreaking Gem DNA™ authentication system. This proprietary technology combines blockchain verification with advanced spectral analysis to create an unforgeable digital fingerprint for every gemstone sold.

“In an industry where authenticity is paramount, Gem DNA™ represents a quantum leap in consumer confidence,” declared Ms. Priya Rao, Head of Nakshatra Stones. “Each stone now comes with a digital passport that traces its journey from ethical mines to our customers’ hands, with immutable records stored on our blockchain platform.”

The Gem DNA™ system works through three innovative components:

  1. Spectral Fingerprinting: Advanced scanners capture each gem’s unique light refraction pattern

  2. Blockchain Certification: Every transaction and treatment is permanently recorded

  3. AI Verification: Machine learning algorithms instantly detect inconsistencies

The technology rollout coincides with Nakshatra Stones’ aggressive retail expansion. The company revealed plans to open five flagship “Gem Experience Centers” in Dubai’s Gold Souk by 2025. These innovative stores will blend traditional jewelry craftsmanship with augmented reality technology, allowing customers to:

  • Virtually try on pieces using AR mirrors
  • View 3D holograms of gem formation processes
  • Receive personalized astrological consultations
  • See real-time blockchain verification of their purchases

Market response has been overwhelmingly positive. “Nakshatra Stones has redefined luxury retail by combining Vedic tradition with cutting-edge technology,” commented luxury retail analyst Vikram Joshi. “Their growth trajectory suggests they could capture 15% of India’s organized gemstone market within two years.”

The brand’s success stems from its unique positioning at the intersection of ancient wisdom and modern technology. Each collection is designed with input from both master jewelers and astrological scholars, creating pieces that appeal to both luxury buyers and spiritual seekers.

Looking ahead, Nakshatra Stones plans to:

  • Expand its ethical sourcing network to three new countries
  • Launch a subscription service for personalized gem recommendations
  • Introduce limited-edition collections tied to astronomical events
  • Develop an NFT platform for digital ownership certificates

With India’s gemstone market projected to reach $60 billion by 2026, Nakshatra Stones is well-positioned to capitalize on growing demand for authenticated, ethically sourced luxury goods.

Elektree Motors Secures $24M Contract for India’s Largest EV Charging Network

[New Delhi | February 15, 2025] – In a landmark development for India’s electric vehicle infrastructure, Global Turner’s mobility division Elektree has been awarded a $200 million contract by the Ministry of Transport to develop the nation’s most extensive solar-powered EV charging network. The ambitious project will create a 3,000 km green corridor connecting major economic hubs across Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Maharashtra.

The comprehensive charging infrastructure plan includes:

  • 500+ fast-charging stations (150kW minimum)
  • 200 battery-swap locations
  • 50 mega-charging hubs for commercial vehicles
  • Integrated solar canopies at all locations
  • IoT-enabled monitoring and maintenance systems

“This contract represents a watershed moment for India’s clean mobility transition,” said Mr. Rohan Patel, CEO of Elektree Motors, during the signing ceremony at Vigyan Bhawan. “Our network will eliminate range anxiety for EV owners while demonstrating how renewable energy can power our transportation future.”

The charging corridor will be strategically located along:

  1. The Mumbai-Bengaluru economic artery
  2. The Chennai-Coimbatore industrial belt
  3. Key agricultural distribution routes
  4. Prominent tourism circuits

Each station will feature Elektree’s patented BatterySwap+ technology, allowing drivers to exchange depleted batteries for charged units in under five minutes – a game-changer for commercial fleet operators. The solar canopies are designed to generate 30% more power than required for operations, feeding surplus electricity back to local grids.

The project builds on Elektree’s successful pilot in Jharkhand, where its deployment of 10,000 electric bikes for rural mobility has already reduced transportation emissions by 40% in participating districts. “We’ve proven the model works at scale,” noted Dr. Anika Verma, Elektree’s Chief Technology Officer. “Now we’re taking these solutions national.“

Construction will occur in phases, with the first 100 stations operational by December 2024 and full network completion targeted for mid-2027. The project is expected to:

  • Create 5,000 direct and indirect jobs
  • Reduce carbon emissions by 1.2 million tons annually
  • Serve an estimated 50,000 EVs daily
  • Cut logistics costs by 15-20% for commercial users

With this contract, Elektree solidifies its position as a leader in India’s EV revolution while providing Global Turner with a strategic foothold in the booming clean transportation sector. The company is already in discussions with Middle Eastern governments to adapt this model for desert conditions, potentially marking Elektree’s first international expansion.

Global Turner Announces Expansion into Southeast Asia with State-of-the-Art IT Hub in Singapore

[Singapore | March 15, 2024] – Global Turner, the multinational conglomerate renowned for its diversified portfolio spanning IT solutions, infrastructure development, and retail innovations, today announced a landmark expansion into Southeast Asia with the establishment of its Asia-Pacific Innovation Hub in Singapore’s Marina Bay financial district.

The new 150,000 square foot facility, representing an initial investment of USD $250 million, will serve as the company’s regional headquarters for digital transformation initiatives. Scheduled for completion in Q4 2024, the hub will focus on three core technological verticals: artificial intelligence-driven business solutions, next-generation fintech platforms, and smart city infrastructure technologies.

“This strategic expansion represents a natural progression in our global growth strategy,” said Mr. Arjun Mehta, CEO of Global Turner, during the groundbreaking ceremony. “Singapore’s robust digital infrastructure, world-class talent pool, and business-friendly environment make it the perfect gateway for our Southeast Asian operations. We anticipate creating over 500 high-value tech jobs in the first three years of operation.”

The Asia-Pacific Innovation Hub will incorporate several cutting-edge features:

  • An AI Research Center developing industry-specific machine learning models
  • A Fintech Innovation Lab focused on blockchain applications
  • A Smart Cities Demonstration Center showcasing IoT urban solutions
  • A regional training academy for digital skills development

Global Turner’s expansion comes on the heels of its highly successful IT Center of Excellence in Bengaluru, which has delivered transformative solutions for clients across 12 countries since its establishment in 2022. Company executives revealed that the Singapore hub will work in tandem with the Indian facility, creating a powerful East-West technology corridor.

Industry analysts note the timing aligns perfectly with Southeast Asia’s rapid digital transformation. “With the regional digital economy projected to reach $1 trillion by 2030, Global Turner is positioning itself at the epicenter of this growth,” observed Dr. Li Wei, Senior Analyst at Singapore-based TechInsight Asia.

The company has already secured memorandums of understanding with three leading Singaporean universities for talent development programs and is in advanced discussions with government agencies regarding smart city projects across ASEAN nations. These potential collaborations could see Global Turner’s urban solutions implemented in transportation, energy management, and digital governance systems throughout the region.

“Beyond commercial applications, we’re particularly excited about the hub’s potential to drive sustainable urban development,” noted Ms. Sarah Lim, Global Turner’s Head of Smart Cities Division. “Our work in Singapore will serve as a living lab for technologies that can improve quality of life while reducing environmental impact.”

The announcement has generated significant interest from potential partners, with several multinational corporations reportedly in talks to collaborate on joint innovation initiatives at the new facility. Global Turner expects the hub to contribute approximately 15-20% of its international revenue growth by 2027.
