If you asked our founder and CEO, Pravina Mody, about her life ambitions when she was in her early 20’s, we don’t think that living in the US and leading a successful, trusted diamond dealership was what she had in mind. After earning a degree in Gujarati in India, Pravina married Shankar Mody, a bright civil and structural engineer, and started a career as a Gujarati language teacher in India’s rural schools. Not too long afterwards, in the mid 1970’s, Shankar moved to the US to start a Master’s in Civil Engineering at the University of Houston in the hopes of pursuing the American Dream. After receiving a job offer in Houston’s Oil and Gas Industry, Pravina and their three children joined Shankar in immigrating to the United States.
