MVI’s Chatelain to discuss U.S. majors in Mumbai
January 11, 2008

Paso Robles, Calif.—MVI Marketing Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer Liz Chatelain, who specializes in the Indian market, will address the state of the U.S. major retailers to the Indian diamond and jewelry industry in Mumbai, India, on Jan 22.

Participants will include Indian rough- and loose-diamond companies as well as finished-jewelry manufacturers and industry VIPs.

“They are worried about the current U.S. retail market and what the future will bring,” Chatelain said in a media release. “They are hearing a lot of bad news from the States about retailing, and with the weak dollar, they lose money with every U.S. order.”

Topics that will be addressed include the shift of luxury spend away from fine jewelry, the U.S. economy and retailer consolidation.

The lecture, which is being sponsored by the Indo Argyle Diamond Council, will be held at the Le Royal Meridien Hotel in Mumbai.
