Every business has its own journey and its own defining aspects. Mine has always been characterised by three things: purpose, persistence and faith. I am Dr. Sunjoy Hans, a second-generation entrepreneur with brand Lalchnd and the founder chairman of the Lalchnd Group. Through the years, I have worked towards building a brand built on trust and boasting an unparalleled focus on product quality, product range and customer service. That commitment has helped me grow into a top entrepreneur in Odisha who runs an award-winning business from Bhubaneswar with a national footprint.

Lalchnd Jewellers, the flagship brand of Lalchnd Group, has always stood tall as a symbol of trust, quality and craftsmanship. The origin story of brand Lalchnd goes back to 1948 thanks to my father who built it from scratch with a departmental store named Lalchnd and Sons. Almost 40 years later, although I independently ventured into the world of jewellery business, my goal was to build on Father’s legacy and take the brand name to new heights with Lalchnd Jewellers.
I took early steps towards transforming the brand into something bigger and better. This involved building strong operational structures, introducing design innovation, raising awareness among people in Odisha about the importance of buying pure and hallmarked gold, introducing them to world-class designs from all over the globe, and redefining customer satisfaction. These efforts allowed us to connect deeply with the people of Odisha and enhance the brand’s value. This is where I set my ambition to become a top businessman in India as a jewellery brand owner who is committed to preserving heritage while driving much-needed change and innovation.

Over the last three decades, brand Lalchnd has expanded steadily. We focused on scaling up our retail operations and built new showrooms in Odisha and beyond – from Bhubaneswar, Cuttack and Brahmapur, all the way to New Delhi. But our expansion was not limited to space and geography; it was about getting better in all aspects of the business. I wanted our design quality and range to speak for themselves. I wanted customer service had to be seamless and satisfaction oriented. And I wanted the business to run with clarity of purpose.
By God’s grace, my efforts were recognised through multiple honours in the shape of prestigious industry awards. Becoming the most award-winning businessman in Odisha and receiving titles like Iconic Brand of Odisha confirmed that we were heading in the right direction. These acknowledgements have strengthened my sense of responsibility as an influential entrepreneur in Odisha and reminded me that consistency is what defines real success.

As a business leader, I have always believed in empowering people. Training, team building, and mentorship are central to our growth. I have focused on building a culture of accountability and skill, which is reflected in every showroom and every transaction.
I also remain invested in initiatives that support local art, education, and social welfare. This commitment is part of what defines me as an influential entrepreneur in Odisha.

Being recognised as a top businessman in India and a leading jewellery brand owner is both an honour and a responsibility. The journey continues – driven by design, guided by discipline, and defined by trust that has been built over decades of performance and commitment to customer welfare. .
