Antwerp, Belgium—Rio Tinto Diamonds NV has appointed Vikram Merchant to head its office in Mumbai, India.

Merchant started with Rio Tinto Diamonds on July 14, bringing a strong knowledge of the global diamond industry and proven technical and analytical skills from more than 25 years in Mumbai, London and Antwerp, Belgium.

Before joining Rio Tinto Diamonds, Vikram was business development manager of the Hindustan Diamond Co., the largest supplier of rough diamonds to small and medium-size manufacturers and exporters of polished diamonds in India.

"I am delighted to represent Rio Tinto Diamonds in India, particularly at this time when many of our Select Diamantaires are actively developing their business models in this market," Merchant said in a media release.
