PNG Jewellers Reinvents Jewellery Sourcing With Exclusive ‘Pure Bonds Design Excellence 2026’ Buyer-Seller Meet Ahead Of Annual Mangalsutra Mahotsav
Twenty Of India’s Leading Mangalsutra Manufacturers Came Together In Pune As PNG Jewellers Introduced An Exclusive, Collaborative Selection Platform For Its Nationwide Store Network.
Reinforcing its commitment to design innovation and customer-centric curation, PNG Jewellers hosted ‘Pure Bonds Design Excellence 2026’, an exclusive mangalsutra-only buyer-seller meet, at its office in Baner, Pune, on 1 and 2 July 2026.

The two-day meet brought together 20 of India’s leading mangalsutra manufacturers, each renowned for their craftsmanship and expertise in the category. Ten manufacturers showcased their finest collections each day, creating an intimate platform for the sales and merchandising teams at PNG Jewellers to evaluate an extensive range of contemporary and traditional mangalsutra designs ahead of its much-awaited annual Mangalsutra Mahotsav, slated for August 2026.


Unlike conventional large-scale B2B buyer-seller meets, Pure Bonds Design Excellence 2026 was conceptualised to provide a focused environment where PNG Jewellers’ sales and merchandising teams from across India could spend quality time understanding each manufacturer’s design philosophy, craftsmanship, regional strengths, and product offerings. The participating teams carefully shortlisted collections best suited to the tastes and preferences of customers in their respective markets, ensuring greater regional relevance across the brand’s expanding retail footprint.
The ‘Pure Bond’ initiative reflects PNG Jewellers’ continued emphasis on strengthening relationships with its manufacturing partners while enhancing the overall product selection process. By creating a collaborative and distraction-free buying experience, the brand aims to bring the finest designs, superior craftsmanship, and greater value to consumers during its flagship Mangalsutra Mahotsav annual IP.
Commenting on the initiative, Dr. Saurabh Gadgil, Chairman and Managing Director, PNG Jewellers, said:

“Mangalsutra is one of the most cherished categories in Indian jewellery, and selecting the right designs requires both market understanding and close collaboration with our manufacturing partners. Design Excellence 2026 was created with that objective. By bringing together the country’s finest manufacturers and our store teams on one platform, we have built a more thoughtful and efficient selection process that will ultimately benefit our customers.”
Following the success of Pure Bonds Design Excellence 2026, PNG Jewellers plans to extend this specialised selection model to additional product categories, further strengthening its design-led approach while delivering exceptional craftsmanship and value to customers across India.
