Mitesh Khimji, a transformative force in the Indian jewellery industry, has revolutionized the landscape of luxury and craftsmanship in Odisha. Taking the helm of Khimji Jewellers, a family business established in 1936 by Khimji Dayabhai, Mitesh has led the brand to unprecedented heights with his visionary leadership and innovative approach.
Khimji Jewellers, a name synonymous with trust and elegance in Odisha, traces its origins back to 1936 when the late Khimji Dayabhai founded it in Baripada, Mayurbhanj.

Over the years, its dedication to craftsmanship and quality has solidified its reputation, making it one of the most respected jewellery brands in Odisha.
Mitesh’s journey in the jewellery business was anything but conventional. Despite a background in mining transport and initial aspirations to pursue a different career, Mitesh was drawn into the family business under the mentorship of his father, Dinesh Khimji, and uncle, Kishore Khimji.

The flagship store and corporate office in Saheed Nagar, Bhubaneswar, serves as a symbol of the brand’s growth and success.
Mitesh’s ambitions have transcended jewellery. Recognizing the importance of diversification, he has successfully expanded the Khimji Group into sectors such as automotive, real estate, finance, tourism, and dairy farming. A noteworthy venture includes the Khimji-Honda alliance, which marked the brand’s entry into the two-wheeler market.
Beyond his business achievements, Mitesh Khimji is deeply committed to community welfare. The Khimji Group has been a consistent contributor to philanthropic causes, such as donating Rs 21 lakhs to the Cyclone Fani relief fund and undertaking the noble mission of building a school in Baripada.
As Khimji Jewellers continues to thrive, Mitesh Khimji remains dedicated to delivering exquisite craftsmanship, trusted value, and unparalleled service. His vision goes beyond creating beautiful jewellery—he aspires to enhance the lives of those who wear it, making each piece a symbol of joy, love, and celebration.
