Madhuri Dixit inaugurates 20000* sqft jewellery shopping destination for PNG Jewellers at Laxmi Road, Pune
Retail expansion in jewellery aligns with the consumer response in any given market. Phenomenal popularity and product demand call for unprecedented expansion, and one such instance was exhibited by PN Gadgil Jewellers, widely known for its commitment towards excellence across a legacy of 193 years of business and counting, with the launch of a new store besides renovation of its flagship showroom, both at Laxmi Road in Pune, on 23 March, 2025.
Catering to rising demand across all categories of gold, diamond, platinum, and colour gemstone jewellery in the Pune market, the two stores were jointly inaugurated by Bollywood diva Madhuri Dixit in the presence of Dr. Saurabh Gadgil, Chairman and Managing Director of PNG Jewellers; Mr. Parag Gadgil, and members of the PNG Jewellers family. The combined area of the two large-format stores now reach a staggering 20,000 sq. ft.*
Dr. Saurabh Gadgil, Chairman and Managing director of PNG Jewellers said, “Pune holds a special place in our hearts, as it is where our flagship store continues to stand as an example to our heritage and trust. Now, the brand has a total of 53 stores across the world. As we strive to strengthen our retail network further, this expansion brings us closer to our patrons, ensuring they have convenient access to the finest jewellery, steeped in tradition and craftsmanship. We look forward to serving the people of Pune with the same commitment to quality, craftsmanship, and trust.”
Ushering in a completely modern in-store experience while respecting Maharashtrian tradition, the renovated flagship showroom has been redesigned akin to heritage Wada courtyard houses intrinsic to the state. Exclusively retailing in gold jewellery of Kalkatti, temple, antique, and kundan designs, the flagship showroom specialises in bridal jewellery along with a dedicated wedding lounge replete with private make-up stations to give the brides-to-be the attention they deserve. The new 2-storey showroom, on the other hand, stands tall as a hub of the studded categories including diamond, platinum, uncut, polki, and precious colour gemstone jewellery. The expansion has now diversified the product range of PNG Jewellers by an impressive 30-40%, thus giving buyers across all categories better options for an immersive and satisfying shopping experience.
Commenting on the continuing legacy of the brand, ambassador and Bollywood superstar Madhuri Dixit said, “It is a privilege to be a part of this historic event with PNG Jewellers, a company known for its excellence and tradition. Their commitment to preserving tradition while embracing modern designs truly sets PNG Jewellers apart. PNG has always stood for trust, tradition, and timeless craftsmanship.”
The new store of PNG Jewellers is located 500 meters away from their flagship store, and has rolled out exclusive offers such as 0% deduction on old gold exchange, up to 40% off on gold jewellery-making charges, and up to 100% off on diamond jewellery-making charges respectively to celebrate the grand inauguration.

Senco Gold & Diamonds Brings An Exclusive Jewellery Exhibition To Bikaner, Celebrating Rajasthani Craftsmanship And Senco’s Kolkata Karigari Heritage
The exclusive exhibition brings together traditional Rajasthani jewellery, regional craftsmanship and Senco’s Kolkata karigari heritage, alongside an extensive selection of gold and natural diamond jewellery, lightweight traditional designs, live experiences, customer engagement activities and exclusive rewards from 14th to 31st August 2026.
Senco Gold & Diamonds is hosting an exclusive jewellery exhibition at its Bikaner store from 14th to 31st August 2026, as customers begin preparing for the upcoming festive and wedding season. At the heart of the exhibition is a celebration of jewellery craftsmanship, bringing together traditional Rajasthani jewellery, regional jewellery craftsmanship and the rich karigari heritage of Kolkata that has been an integral part of Senco’s identity.
The showcase brings the breadth and versatility of Senco’s jewellery offering under one roof, highlighting the distinctive jewellery traditions of Rajasthan, with regional pieces such as Baju Bandh, Rakdi Set, Shishful, Nath, Bangdi, Panchlda, Tinlda and Kantha. These traditional creations reflect the ornate detailing, cultural influences and craftsmanship associated with the region, allowing customers to explore Rajasthan’s jewellery heritage alongside Senco’s broader collection of contemporary and traditional designs.
The exhibition also offers an opportunity to explore the wider portfolio, with brands and collections created for different expressions of jewellery and lifestyle. From lightweight gold jewellery and Aham’s contemporary men’s jewellery to couture-led designs, Vivaha’s bridal offerings and Gossip’s silver and fashion jewellery, the portfolio reflects Senco’s focus on giving customers greater choice across occasions, aesthetics and ways of wearing jewellery.
Designed as more than a jewellery showcase, the exhibition brings together live artistry, entertainment, refreshments and interactive customer experiences, creating a festive environment for customers and families.
The celebrations continue on 15th August with Independence Day and Teej celebrations, alongside live Mehendi Art, Nail Art and jewellery photoshoots. On 16th August, customers can enjoy further exhibition activities, including live beauty experiences and jewellery photoshoots.

Speaking on the occasion, Suvankar Sen, MD & CEO, Senco Gold & Diamonds, said:

“India’s jewellery traditions are incredibly diverse, and that diversity is something we have always celebrated at Senco. Rajasthan has its own rich jewellery language and craftsmanship, while our roots in Kolkata have given us a deep connection with karigari and the art of jewellery making.
Bringing these together in Bikaner allows customers to experience that diversity alongside the breadth of what Senco offers today, from gold and diamonds to 9KT, 14KT and 18KT gold, from necklaces and earrings to kadas, bangles, rings and mangtikkas, and from statement jewellery to lightweight traditional pieces designed for ease of wear. Most importantly, we want customers to experience the trust and craftsmanship that Senco has built over generations, while discovering jewellery that feels relevant to their own celebrations and style.”
The Bikaner exhibition reflects Senco Gold & Diamonds’ approach to creating retail experiences that go beyond the jewellery itself, bringing together craftsmanship, regional heritage, design versatility and customer engagement. As customers prepare for the festive and wedding season, the exhibition offers an opportunity to discover the richness of Indian jewellery traditions alongside Senco’s contemporary design sensibility, with a wide selection of jewellery and a vibrant programme of experiences, entertainment and rewards.
