At RG Refinery, we believe that meaningful industry participation is key to staying ahead in the evolving world of precious metals. From 23–25 November 2024, our team had the privilege of attending the India Gold Conference (IGC) 2024, held at the Hilton Manyata Business Park in Bengaluru, India.
Organised by Eventell Global Advisory Pvt. Ltd. in association with the India Bullion & Jewellers Association (IBJA), the conference once again lived up to its reputation as one of the most influential gold industry gatherings in South Asia. With the theme “Where the World Meets India”, IGC 2024 served as a vital platform for dialogue across the entire gold value chain—covering refining, minting, jewellery, trading, vaulting, and investment.
Why IGC 2024 Mattered
Attending IGC 2024 was a valuable opportunity for RG Refinery staff to connect with the broader bullion community and gain insights into the forces shaping both the Indian and global markets.
The conference brought together:
- 650+ delegates from every segment of the bullion industry, including refiners, miners, traders, regulators, and investors.
- 60+ speakers, offering world-class thought leadership and market analysis.
- 39 sponsors and 22 exhibitors, showcasing innovation in refining, trading, and digital platforms.
Key Highlights from the Conference
* Comprehensive Industry Coverage
The event shed light on every part of the gold ecosystem—from sourcing and refining to hallmarking, trading, and supply chain integrity.
* Global & Local Leaders
Keynote speakers included Sachin Jain (Regional CEO – India, World Gold Council), Vipin Raina (MMTC-PAMP India), Sakhila Mirza (LBMA), Prithviraj Kothari (IBJA), and senior government representatives. Their insights highlighted India’s growing influence in the global bullion market.

Fintech-driven trading solutions, blockchain-based traceability, and AI-powered market analysis were recurring themes, reflecting how rapidly technology is transforming gold commerce.
