COI disclosure: I am an employee of Shree Ramkrishna Exports Pvt. Ltd. (SRK),the company founded by the subject of this article. Per Wikipedia's paid-contribution disclosure policy, I have disclosed this connection on my user page and am not editing the article directly. I am proposing the following additions here for review by an independent editor.

1. Disambiguation hatnote

Govind Dholakia is frequently confused online with a different, unrelated Surat-based diamond businessman of the same surname (founder of Hari Krishna Exports). Requesting this hatnote be added at the top of the article:

{{Distinguish|Savji Dholakia}}

2. Expand business-career details

Proposed addition after the existing sentence "Dholakia is the founder of Shree Ramkrishna Exports Private Limited, a diamond manufacturing enterprise based in Surat.":

Dholakia serves as Founder-Chairman of Shree Ramkrishna Exports Pvt. Ltd., which operates two diamond crafting facilities, SRK Empire and SRK House, in Surat.^[1] In 2022, SRK was named the Hurun Most Respected Family Business of the Year.^[2]

3. Add SRK Knowledge Foundation

Following his principle of "Giving Back to the Society," Dholakia founded the SRK Knowledge Foundation (SRKKF) in 2014 to lead initiatives in education, healthcare, agriculture, and other social engagements.^[3] He is associated with more than 30 educational, medical, and social trusts in various capacities.^[3]

4. Expand on the 2022 biography

In 2022, Penguin Random House published Diamonds Are Forever, So Are Morals, a biography of Dholakia written by Arun Tiwari and Kamlesh Yagnik, later translated into Gujarati in 2023.^[4]

Happy to supply additional independent sourcing for any point above. Thank you for reviewing. Ancy3333 (talk) 08:21, 10 July 2026 (UTC) Ancy3333 (talk) 08:21, 10 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

Hi — fair enough, and thanks for flagging it. I used an AI tool to help pull together sources and organize my notes before posting, which is probably why the phrasing came across that way. The underlying ask is genuine though: I work at Shree Ramkrishna Exports (disclosed on my user page), and Govind Dholakia gets mixed up online with Savji Dholakia, an unrelated businessman with the same surname who runs a diamond company but a different name (Hari Krishna Exports). Would it help if I just asked for the disambiguation hatnote on its own first, since that's the simplest and most clearly-sourced part? Happy to also share the citations for the other additions if useful. Ancy3333 (talk) 05:17, 11 July 2026 (UTC)Reply
