Jos Alukkas, the current Chairman of the group, set the foundation for Jos Alukkas Jewellery in the year 1964. The brand has grown from a small establishment in Kerala’s Thrissur district to a globally recognised and certified jewellery brand.
Jos' sons Varghese Alukkas, Paul J. Alukkas and John Alukkas, are the current Managing Directors of the group.[2]

In 2010, the group signed Tamil actor Vijay to be their brand ambassador for Kerala and Tamil Nadu[3] while Telugu actor Mahesh Babu endorses them in the state of Andhra Pradesh.[4][5] In 2021, the group signed actress Keerthy Suresh as its new brand ambassador.
