Gargi by PNGS Celebrates Growth with New Store Openings in Aurangabad and Indore
The Fashion Jewellery Brand Marks Significant Expansion, Bringing its Total Store Count to 12 in Just Three Years
Gargi by P N Gadgil & Sons (PNGS), a leading name in the fashion jewellery industry, has closed the year with a strong performance, inaugurating two new stores in Aurangabad and Indore. These additions bring the total number of exclusive Gargi outlets to 12, marking a major milestone in the brand’s rapid retail growth over the past three years.
Expanding Reach in Emerging Markets
The new stores, located in high-traffic retail destinations—Prozone Mall in Aurangabad and Citadel Mall in Indore—are part of Gargi’s strategy to expand into Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities. This move is aimed at catering to the increasing demand for affordable, high-quality fashion jewellery in smaller urban centers, beyond the metropolitan regions.
A Year of Achievements and Innovation
2024 has proven to be a landmark year for Gargi. The brand expanded its footprint in Delhi with the opening of its Kapil Vihar, Pitampura store, and made further strides in Maharashtra with new outlets in Pimple Saudagar and Aurangabad. These expansions reinforce Gargi’s commitment to making stylish fashion jewellery more accessible to a wider audience.
The brand also launched the Utsaav collection, a festive range perfect for special occasions, and introduced its first-ever Kids Collection, featuring certified sterling silver jewellery designed with both safety and style in mind. These initiatives demonstrate Gargi’s dedication to inclusivity and diversification within the fashion jewellery market.
Aditya Modak, Co-founder of Gargi by PNGS, expressed, “Our growth isn’t just about numbers; it’s about connection. When people from different cities—whether women, men, or children—resonate with our designs, we know we’re on the right track. Aurangabad and Indore are not just new stores; they represent fresh relationships, inspiration, and opportunities for creative expression.”
Financial Growth and Future Goals
Gargi by PNGS has also achieved impressive financial milestones, surpassing a market capitalization of Rs. 1,500 crore, with plans to reach Rs. 100 crore in revenue by March 2025. The brand’s franchise-driven model has played a key role in this success, empowering local entrepreneurs while expanding the PNGS legacy. With PNGS boasting an annual turnover of over Rs. 8,500 crore, Gargi’s journey is marked by a blend of heritage and innovation.
Looking to the future, Gargi aims to continue its expansion across India, capitalizing on shifting consumer preferences and forging deeper connections with jewellery enthusiasts of all ages.

Shringar House of Mangalsutra Signs MoU With IAGES To Enhance Trust In Gold Jewellery Trade
Mumbai, April 4, 2026: Shringar House of Mangalsutra Limited, one of India’s leading manufacturers of mangalsutra, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Indian Association for Gold Excellence and Standards (IAGES), reinforcing its commitment to advancing transparency, ethical practices, and standardisation across India’s gold jewellery industry.
India’s gold jewellery market is the cornerstone of the country’s culture and economy and continues to evolve with increasing focus on quality, trust, and standardisation. Frameworks such as IAGES, in alignment with the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) hallmarking system, are playing a pivotal role in strengthening consumer confidence and enabling the industry’s next phase of growth. With a large base of family-run businesses across the country, such initiatives will help in expanding access to certification and best practices across tier-2 and tier-3 markets.
Under this partnership, Shringar will actively promote the IAGES accreditation framework and Code of Conduct across its nationwide network of 2,000+ retailers and wholesalers. This will drive the adoption of responsible and standardised practices at the grassroots level. The collaboration will also roll out joint initiatives, including online webinars on compliance and industry best practices, accreditation drives across Shringar’s partner network, and awareness campaigns, both online and offline, to encourage broader adoption of the IAGES Code of Conduct.
Commenting on the collaboration, Mr. Chetan Thadeshwar, Chairman & Managing Director, Shringar House of Mangalsutra Limited, said:
“We have always believed that trust and transparency are essential in building a resilient jewellery industry. Our partnership with IAGES is a significant step in that direction, as we work towards strengthening ethical practices and standardisation across the ecosystem. By supporting IAGES’s accreditation mission, we look forward to driving meaningful change and setting higher benchmarks for the industry.”
Mr. Kaushlendra Sinha, CEO, IAGES, added:
“Shringar House of Mangalsutra’s is a respectable name in the Gold Industry, and their extensive reach across India’s jewellery retail landscape makes them a strong partner in advancing IAGES’s mission of driving transparency and ethical practices in the gold industry. This MoU will help accelerate accreditation awareness and adoption across their vast network, enabling us to collectively raise industry benchmarks and strengthen consumer confidence. We are thankful to Shringar leadership for proactively coming forward to promote the cause of transparency and good practices in the Indian Gold Industry.”
Shringar’s extensive reach across India’s jewellery retail landscape positions it as a key enabler in amplifying IAGES’s accreditation mission. The company will work with IAGES to support accreditation outreach, while IAGES solely handles accreditation.
