Gargi By PNGS Opens Four New Stores In April, Taking Its Retail Footprint Deeper Into India’s Heartland
Launches In Kolkata, Gwalior, Amravati, and New Delhi Signal The Brand’s Accelerating Push Beyond Metros, With 20 New Stores Targeted For FY27
Gargi by P N Gadgil & Sons (PNGS), one of India’s fastest-growing fashion jewellery brands, has added four new points of sale this April — an exclusive brand outlet in Salt Lake, Kolkata; a kiosk in Gwalior; a store in Amravati; and a kiosk in New Delhi. The four launches, spread across West Bengal, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, and the National Capital Territory of Delhi, reflect the brand’s deliberate strategy of reaching aspirational consumers in high-potential urban markets that are still underserved by organized fashion jewellery retail.
The Salt Lake outlet brings Gargi to one of Kolkata’s most upscale planned townships — a market characterized by a strong, fashion-aware professional and residential demographic. The Gwalior kiosk extends the brand’s presence in Madhya Pradesh, a state where consumer appetite for branded, accessible fine jewellery has been growing steadily. The Amravati store deepens Gargi’s already strong footing within Maharashtra, reinforcing its position as the go-to fashion jewellery destination in the state’s Vidarbha region. And the New Delhi kiosk — positioned at Pacific Mall, Netaji Subhash Place — marks the brand’s entry into the capital, tapping into one of India’s highest-density retail corridors anchored by a key Metro interchange.

Mall of City Centre Salt Lake, DC Block, Bidhannagar, Kolkata – 700064

The April launches are part of a wider expansion wave that has seen Gargi rapidly extend its footprint beyond its Maharashtra home base into new geographies. The brand closed FY26 with 126 points of sale across 65 cities and 21 states — a network built on a mix of Exclusive Brand Outlets, Shop-in-Shop formats, and Franchise stores. With FY27 bringing a target of 20 new store openings, the pace of rollout is only increasing.
— Aditya Modak, Co-founder, PNGS Gargi Fashion Jewellery Limited

“Every city we enter teaches us something new about how Indian consumers relate to jewellery. Kolkata brings a sophisticated, trend-aware buyer. Gwalior represents the aspirational tier-2 market that is now firmly on the radar of organized retail. Amravati is home ground — a market that trusts the PNGS name and is embracing Gargi as its own.
And New Delhi is a statement — our first footprint at one of its most connected retail nodes. These four stores are not just about adding numbers to our count. They are about building a brand that feels genuinely local wherever it goes. With 20 new stores planned for FY27 and a strong balance sheet to back it, we are in a strong position to keep this momentum going.”
What makes the current expansion distinctive is the brand’s deliberate calibration of store format to market context. In prime metro-adjacent catchments like Salt Lake, Gargi deploys full-format EBOs that allow for complete brand expression. In high-footfall commercial hubs and malls in mid-sized cities like Gwalior, and at high-transit metro nodes like Netaji Subhash Place in New Delhi, kiosks offer a capital-efficient entry point that builds consumer familiarity before larger investments follow. The Amravati store continues Gargi’s pattern of deepening its presence in Maharashtra’s interior markets, where brand recognition from the PNGS legacy translates directly into consumer trust in Gargi.

TRUE DIAMOND (India’S Largest Designer Rings Brand) Enters Bengaluru With New Stores In HSR Layout And Indiranagar, Introduces An Ai-Powered Ring Discovery Experience
The Shark Tank Brand, Known For Its Unhinged Content and Innovative Ring Designs, Introduces A Technology-Led Retail Experience Featuring Personalised Ring Recommendations, Interactive DiamondEeducation and A Build Your Own Ring Bar
True Diamond, the new-age diamond jewellery brand, has expanded its retail presence in Bengaluru with new stores in HSR Layout and Indiranagar, bringing together design innovation, technology and a distinctly unconventional brand philosophy. The new stores aim to reimagine how consumers discover, understand and create diamond rings.

Known for challenging traditional jewellery conventions, True Diamond has built its identity around a singular obsession: rings. From experimental diamond cuts and unconventional materials to its wildly entertaining social media content, the brand has consistently taken a different approach to an otherwise traditional category. Following its appearance on Shark Tank India Season 5, True Diamond is now bringing that same spirit of experimentation to its physical retail experience.
Rethinking the Way People Discover Rings
At the heart of the new Bengaluru stores is the TrueMatch Hand Scanner, True Diamond’s AI-enabled hand analysis experience, designed to make ring discovery more personalised and intuitive. The system analyses hand and finger proportions, alongside skin tone, to recommend solitaire shapes and gold colours that may complement an individual.
Rather than beginning with an overwhelming catalogue of options, customers can start with recommendations tailored to them and explore the possibilities from there.
The experience goes beyond recommendations with the introduction of a Build Your Own Ring Bar, where customers can participate in creating their own ring by exploring different diamond shapes, sizes, metal colours, settings and personalisation elements. The format allows consumers to move from simply selecting an existing design to actively creating a piece that reflects their individual style and preferences.
Alongside the technology and customisation experience, the Bengaluru stores feature an interactive diamond education journey, allowing customers to understand diamond shapes, cuts, proportions, sparkle and craftsmanship in a more accessible format. The objective is to make the traditionally complex process of buying a diamond more transparent and informed, particularly for first-time buyers.
Darayus Mehta, Co-founder and Director, True Diamond said:

“Jewellery retail hasn’t changed as much as it could have. We believe buying a ring should be as personal, engaging and exciting as the ring itself.”
“At True Diamond, we’ve always tried to do things differently, whether it’s the rings we design, the content we create or the way we engage with customers. With our Bengaluru stores, we’re bringing all three together.”

The expansion comes as True Diamond continues to build its presence across both digital and physical retail. The brand has built an online community of nearly 1 million followers on Instagram in little over two years, driven in part by its unconventional approach to jewellery storytelling and its quirky micro-drama content.
With its Bengaluru stores, the brand is taking that consumer-first approach offline, bringing together technology, education and personalisation in a category that has traditionally relied heavily on assisted selling and standardised product discovery.
