Brink's and BVC announced a strategic alliance in India, to provide the Indian diamond and jewellery industry with a seamless international service offering. The alliance will be implemented effective April 15, 2013.

This partnership is a culmination of the advantages of Brink's global footprint and unrivalled liability program, and BVC’s heritage within the Indian secure logistics sector.

"By layering BVC's exceptional sales and customer service culture on top of Brink's global infrastructure we believe we are creating an unmatched offering which will support India's position as the leading centre for the global Diamond & Jewellery industry." commented Samir Hosangady, Managing Director, Brink's India. Hosangady added that “Brink’s India’s current precious metals storage and logistics, cash transportation, ATM and domestic diamond and jewellery business will be unaffected by this alliance, and the company will continue to provide its high level of service to both domestic and international customers.”

Uday Chinai, the son of the founder of BVC, B.V. Chinai said, “It is our aim to set new standards within the secure logistics value chain and to offer our customers unprecedented levels of service, efficiency and security. Everyone at BVC is excited to be a part of this natural evolution in partnering with a brand as strong as Brink's.”

Both organizations have noted that the contacts for shipping arrangements in India remain unchanged until further notice and clarifications can be sorted by contacting the Brink’s and BVC representatives.
