In the heart of Gorakhpur, where literary giants like Munshi Premchand and Firaq Gorakhpuri have left an indelible mark, another enduring legacy quietly thrives—Aisshpra Gems & Jewels. Founded in 1940 amid India’s struggle for independence, Aisshpra began as a humble shop specializing in ‘zari and gota’ work.
Hariprasad Gopikrishna, under the mentorship of Sri Balkrishnaji and the late Sri Gopi Krishnaji, established the brand with a passion and dedication deeply intertwined with the local community. Over the decades, Aisshpra evolved and expanded under the visionary leadership of Shri Atul Saraf and Shri Anoop Saraf. In 2003, it rebranded as Aisshpra Gems & Jewels, marking a pivotal moment in its history. Today, led by Atulji and his sons, Vaibhav and Saumitra Saraf, along with Anoop Saraf, Aisshpra is poised for national growth, aiming to establish 25 franchise stores by 2025.
Commitment to Excellence: Trust, Integrity, and Ethics
Aisshpra’s success is rooted in its unwavering commitment to TIE: Trust, Integrity, and Ethics. As pioneers in the region, they were among the first to offer hallmarked jewelry and certified diamonds, setting industry standards. This dedication to quality and transparency has garnered them over 35 prestigious national and international awards for excellence in craftsmanship and service.
Beyond their products, Aisshpra’s ethos encompasses community service and social responsibility. The Aisshpra Foundation leads various CSR initiatives, impacting lives through environmental sustainability efforts like the ‘Yeh hai Meri Pehchan’ No Plastic Campaign, as well as education, healthcare, and community welfare programs.

They sponsor group weddings for underprivileged couples and provide air-conditioned coffins for dignified farewells, exemplifying their commitment to social inclusivity and compassion.
During harsh winters, Aisshpra lights fires in electricity-deprived areas, offering essential warmth. They distribute blankets, install chilled RO water plants, and regularly donate a blood platelet separator to Gorakhnath Hospital, significantly impacting local healthcare.
