Gargi by P N Gadgil & Sons (PNGS), one of India’s fastest-growing listed fashion jewellery brands, has closed its financial year on an emphatic note with the launch of four new exclusive brand outlets — three in Pune’s Ravet, Baner, and Paud Road neighbourhoods, and one at DSL Mall, Hyderabad. The openings mark a fitting close to a year in which Gargi cemented its status as a standout performer in the branded fashion jewellery category, backed by strong financials, an aggressive retail rollout, and a market capitalisation exceeding Rs. 800 crore.

The Ravet store, located at Yashada Windsons, opened on March 26, 2026, followed closely by the launches in Baner and Paud Road — two of Pune’s most aspirational residential and commercial corridors. The Hyderabad outlet at DSL Mall extends Gargi’s footprint in Telangana, a market the brand has been methodically building for the past two years.

Each of the new stores offers Gargi’s full range of contemporary collections — from everyday 925 sterling silver pieces to certified natural diamond lines — designed for the modern Indian consumer seeking wearable, design-forward jewellery at accessible price points.

Speaking about the milestone, Aditya Modak, Co-founder and Director, Gargi by PNGS, said:

Aditya Modak

“March has always been a defining month for us — it’s when the year’s effort becomes visible. These four launches are not just stores; they are proof of what we set out to build. Ravet, Baner, and Paud Road reflect how deeply Pune continues to trust and embrace Gargi, while Hyderabad tells us our South India story is only getting stronger. As we close this financial year, we are proud to say that we are building not just a bigger brand, but a more meaningful one — one neighbourhood, one customer, one conversation at a time.”

The March launches cap what has been a landmark year for Gargi by every measure. The brand reported nine-month revenues of Rs. 119 crore for FY2025–26, with quarterly revenues crossing Rs. 46 crore in Q3 — a 27% year-on-year jump. Net profit for the same quarter grew by more than 15% year-on-year, and the company has maintained profitability in every quarter since inception. With an EBITDA margin of approximately 31% and a debt-free balance sheet, Gargi’s financial profile stands out sharply in a category still dominated by unorganised players.

From a market-cap perspective, Gargi trades at a valuation in excess of Rs. 800 crore on the BSE — a remarkable milestone for a brand that only commenced retail operations in 2021. The brand now operates across 40+ cities through a combination of exclusive brand outlets, franchise stores, and Shop-in-Shop formats — and has set its sights on at least one new store opening per month through FY2026–27.

Earlier this financial year, the brand opened 12 exclusive brand outlets, launched in Aurangabad and Indore, expanded into Delhi’s Pitampura and Pimple Saudagar in Pune, and opened a store at Spectrum Metro Mall, Noida. The four March launches bring the brand’s pan-India exclusive store count to its highest yet.

BlueStone-backed lab-grown diamond jewellery brand Ethera is accelerating its retail expansion with the launch of four new metro stores across India. The brand has opened two outlets in Bengaluru—located in Indiranagar and Electronic City—along with a new store at DLF Midtown, New Delhi, and is set to soon launch in Elan Miracle Mall, Gurugram.

With these additions, Ethera’s total brick-and-mortar presence rises to nine stores, marking a significant milestone within just a year of its first retail launch in June 2025. The expansion underscores the brand’s focus on metro markets, where demand for modern, design-led jewellery and self-expression continues to grow.

Speaking on the expansion, Sharad Arora, Co-founder, Ethera, said:

“Everything we’re building at Ethera starts with a deep understanding of the customer, category, and long-term opportunity, shaping a brand rooted in strong design, transparent values, and a seamless omnichannel experience. Metro markets, with their affinity for modern jewellery and self-expression, are a natural fit for our expansion. Since launching our first store in June 2025, we’ve scaled to nine locations in under a year, reflecting strong demand and a clear shift towards more conscious, considered luxury.”

Founded in 2024 by entrepreneurs Nitesh Jain and Sharad Arora, Ethera primarily targets first-time fine jewellery buyers seeking contemporary aesthetics. The brand introduces over 200 new designs every month, leveraging a strong omnichannel strategy to reach consumers.

Its collections feature IGI-certified lab-grown diamonds set in BIS-hallmarked gold, aligning with the evolving preference for sustainable and transparent luxury. With a growing footprint in high-footfall retail hubs across cities like Noida and Ghaziabad, Ethera is steadily positioning itself as a key player in India’s direct-to-consumer jewellery landscape.
