Awards & Recognition

Six trophies, and all six are photographed on this page. Five came from the JMAIIE Excellence Awards Night, in 2023 and 2024. The sixth came from GJEPC in 2025 and went to a person rather than a machine.

Under each one we have quoted the engraving word for word, including the bits that are inconsistent. After 48 years in this trade we would rather you checked a claim than took it.

People 2025

Forty Under 40

The only one of the six from GJEPC rather than the JMAIIE Excellence Awards Night, and one of two given to a person rather than a product.

  • Awarded by GJEPC India
  • Presented IIJS Premiere 2025
  • Named on it Dhyey Mehta, Semsons Tech LLP

GJEPC — the Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council — names forty people under the age of forty who are moving the Indian gem and jewellery trade forward. Dhyey Mehta made the third edition, for 2025-26.

He is the third generation in the business and runs the machinery side of it. The base plate carries the IIJS Premiere 2025 and GJEPC India marks alongside the name.

People 2024

Entrepreneur of the Year

Presented on the night of 10 February 2024.

  • Awarded by JMAIIE Excellence Awards Night
  • Presented 10 February 2024
  • Named on it Dhyey Mehta, Semsons Tech

Awarded to Dhyey Mehta. The base plate reads, in full, "Dhyey Mehta from Semsons Tech Company".

The category itself is engraved "Enterpreneur of the Year". That spelling is on the trophy, so we have left it alone rather than quietly correct it in the caption.

Machine 2024

Best Laser Welding Machine

  • Awarded by JMAIIE Excellence Awards Night
  • Presented 10 February 2024
  • Named on it Semsons Tech

Engraved "Best Laser Welding Machine — India". Same night, same awarding body as the setting and cutting trophies.

Machine 2024

Best Laser Cutting Machine

The machine behind it is Smart Cut.

  • Awarded by JMAIIE Excellence Awards Night
  • Presented 10 February 2024
  • Named on it Semsons Tech

Engraved "Best Laser Cutting Machine — India", 10 February 2024.

Cutting and marking are two different jobs. Cutting separates and shapes metal early, around design and moulding; marking applies hallmarks, purity stamps and serial numbers at the end. This trophy is for the cutting side.

Company 2023

Best Diamond Tools and Consumables Manufacturers

The earliest of the six, and the only one that is not about a machine.

  • Awarded by JMAIIE Excellence Awards Night
  • Presented 2023
  • Named on it Semsons International

Dated 2023 — a year before the four trophies above. The name engraved on it is Semsons International, a Semsons group name, rather than Semsons Tech LLP.

It is for the tools and consumables side of the business: the things a jewellery factory reorders every month rather than buys once.

Straight answer

What an award proves, and what it doesn't

What it does tell you

That people inside this industry — the ones who run the shows, the hallmarking desks and the machinery halls — rated the range highly in a given year, and were willing to put it on a trophy with a date on it. It is a checkable, public opinion rather than our own marketing.

What it doesn't

Whether the machine suits your factory. Throughput, stone sizes, power supply, floor space and who services it in your city all decide that, and none of them are on a trophy. Tell us what you produce and we will tell you which machine fits — including when it is a smaller one.

Answers

Questions about the awards

Who gave them, when, and what they were for. If something here is not clear, ask us and we will send the detail.

Ask us something else
Has Semsons Tech won any awards?

Yes — six. Five came from the JMAIIE Excellence Awards Night: Best Diamond Setting Machine, Best Laser Welding Machine and Best Laser Cutting Machine, all engraved "India" and collected on 10 February 2024, plus Entrepreneur of the Year the same night and Best Diamond Tools and Consumables Manufacturers in 2023. The sixth is GJEPC's Forty Under 40, awarded to Dhyey Mehta for 2025-26. Every trophy is photographed on this page.

Who gives the JMAIIE Excellence Awards?

The JMAIIE Excellence Awards Night is run as an industry awards and networking evening, organised by KNC Services together with the JMA Forum. The 2024 edition, where four of our trophies were collected, was held on 10 February 2024. The trophies also carry the marks of the night's partners: presented by GRS, supported by Prince Hallmarking, powered by Jewellery Machinery.

What is GJEPC Forty Under 40?

GJEPC — the Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council — names forty people under the age of forty who are moving the Indian gem and jewellery trade forward. Dhyey Mehta of Semsons Tech LLP was named in the third edition, for the year 2025-26. It is an award to a person, not to a machine.

Which Semsons machine won Best Laser Cutting Machine?

Smart Cut, our jewellery laser cutting machine. Cutting is a different job from marking: cutting separates and shapes metal early in production, around design and moulding, while marking applies hallmarks, purity stamps and serial numbers at the end. The award is for the cutting side of the range.

Why does one trophy say Semsons International instead of Semsons Tech?

Because that is how it was engraved. The 2023 Best Diamond Tools and Consumables Manufacturers award carries the name Semsons International, a Semsons group name; the 2024 machine awards are engraved Semsons Tech. We have reproduced both as they appear rather than standardising them, so the photographs and the captions match.

Does an award mean the machine is right for my factory?

No, and we would rather say so. An award tells you a panel of people in this industry rated the range highly in a given year. It does not tell you whether the throughput, stone sizes, power supply and after-sales cover suit your production. Send us what you make and in what volume, and we will tell you which machine fits — including when the answer is a smaller one than you asked about.

Can I see the trophies in person?

Yes. They are at our head office at Bharat Diamond Bourse, BKC, Mumbai. If you are visiting to see a machine run, say so when you book and we will have them out.

Come and see the machines that won them

The trophies are at our Mumbai head office. So are the machines. Book a slot and watch one run on your own material before you decide anything.
