Ganjam Nagappa & Sons history can be traced back 400 years when a group of merchants trading in precious stones are said to have migrated from the Ganjam district in Orissa. In 1942 Ganjam was appointed by a royal degree as jeweller to his majesty, the Maharaja of Mysore This happened during the period of Ganjam Subbaramiah. By this time, Ganjam had established itself firmly as a maker of fine diamond and traditional jewellery encrusted with precious stones.

In 1959 the eldest son of Ganjam Subbaramiah took over the reins of the business. Ganjam was invited by the Maharaja of Nepal to train goldsmiths in his country and to design and make jewellery for the Royal Temple in Kathmandu. In 1971, Ganjam shifted to a full air-conditioned showroom in Gandhinagar. And on the 24th of Nov'97 the Ganjam story moved on to a new stage in Infantry Road.
