A podcast for the curious minds shaping the future of the jewelry world.
The Loupe Insight Podcast is Rahul Desai’s way of putting years of industry knowledge into your ears: anytime, anywhere. In each short, thoughtful episode, Rahul takes you beyond the textbook and into the real issues, ideas, and inspirations driving the gem and jewelry business today.
No fluff. No filler. Just clear, relevant insights for people who want to think sharper, work smarter, and lead better in this evolving industry.
Whether you’re a student, a retail leader, a manufacturer, or an aspiring entrepreneur, Loupe Insight gives you the perspectives that matter, delivered in a crisp, conversational style that fits perfectly into your day.
Explore the fundamentals that every industry professional should understand cut, clarity, certification, origins, treatments, and more. It’s where concepts meet context, and where theory meets market relevance.
In this season, Rahul focuses on customer behavior, retail storytelling, service strategy, and real-life selling psychology. It’s about what really drives conversion and how to build stores that speak.
Here, the conversation shifts to entrepreneurship. Rahul shares lessons on risk-taking, pricing, niche positioning, brand identity, and how to scale a business without losing your core. It’s equal parts strategy and mindset.
Loupe Insight is more than just content; it’s part of Rahul’s commitment to giving back to the industry. It’s built for the ones who are serious about learning but don’t always have access to long-format courses or mentorship. Think of it as your ongoing resource… grounded, real, and always relevant.
From the counter to the classroom to the boardroom, Loupe Insight is for every jewelry professional who wants to stay sharp and stay ahead.
