MEN OF PLATINUM brings #MOMENTWITHMAHI to life with an unforgettable MS DHONI meet-and-greet in Mumbai.
Men of Platinum, the men’s jewellery brand from Platinum Guild International (PGI) India, brought its highly anticipated #MomentWithMahi campaign to a thrilling close with an exclusive fan meet-and-greet with MS Dhoni at the iconic Taj Lands End, Mumbai.
This one-of-a-kind experience was the culmination of the brand’s festive purchase programme — a rare reward for select consumers who purchased from the Men of Platinum – MS Dhoni Signature Edition and participated in a contest. For many, this was the fulfilment of a long-cherished dream, the chance to meet their icon, the embodiment of quiet greatness, in person.
But the event was more than just a celebrity interaction — it was a deeply immersive celebration of platinum and the values it shares with MS Dhoni: resilience, authenticity, and enduring strength.
Attendees stepped into a world of curated experiences, including:
- A sensorial platinum zone, tracing the origin of this rare metal and spotlighting its unique attributes
- A wear-and-try booth where guests could experience platinum firsthand
- The ‘Mahi Helicopter Shot’ simulator, offering fans a playful, high-energy moment to see how close they could come to the legendary finisher’s iconic move
The evening also gave fans a rare opportunity to witness the unfiltered, candid side of Dhoni. In an engaging conversation with host Rohan Joshi and the audience, Dhoni opened up about his personal connection with platinum, revealed his most cherished Platinum Moments across different formats, and even shared what gets “Captain Cool” a little less cool. His honest, humble responses created an emotional bridge between the man, the metal, the brands campaign: Greatness Lies Within.
The event brought together not just fans and consumers, but also the industry’s retail and manufacturing partners — the believers who helped build the Signature Edition and backed it at the retail level.

Sharing more about the programme and association, Vaishali Banerjee – Head of Global Market Development and Managing Director – India & ME, Platinum Guild International, said, “With #MomentWithMahi, our intent was to honour consumer belief and action with an experience that creates a lasting memory. MS Dhoni embodies consistency, integrity and quiet confidence—values that lie at the heart of Men of Platinum.
By bringing our consumers together with our retail partners for this exclusive meet-and-greet, we were able to transform a purchase moment into a once-in-a-lifetime experience, reinforcing the exceptional nature of platinum.”
First launched in October 2024, the Men of Platinum MS Dhoni Signature Edition Collection celebrates Dhoni’s remarkable journey, timeless style and enduring legacy. Crafted in Pt950 (95% pure platinum), each piece carries Dhoni’s signature, making it a distinctive collector’s keepsake. The collection continues to resonate with modern Indian men who value authenticity, purpose and refined design.

Foreign exchange reserves declined by $11.413 billion to $698.346 billion
Forex drop due to a sharp fall in gold reserves:RBI
As of March 28, 2026, the Reserve Bank of India’s latest data reveals a brutal $30.14 billion evaporation in forex reserves over just three weeks. The headline-grabber? A staggering $13.49 billion collapse in gold reserves in a single week.
While the official line points to “valuation effects,” the underlying reality is a cocktail of geopolitical warfare, a bleeding Rupee, and an RBI backed into a corner.
For years, gold was the “safe haven.” In March 2026, it became a weight. The drop to $117.19 billion wasn’t because the RBI sold the family silver—it’s because the global gold market just endured its worst weekly rout in four decades.
- The Paper Flush: As the US-Iran conflict escalated, institutional investors faced massive margin calls on their stock portfolios. They didn’t sell gold because they lost faith in it; they sold it because it was the only liquid asset left to cover their losses.
- The Yield Trap: With oil breaching $110, inflation fears have spiked. This has forced the US Fed to signal “higher for longer” rates, making non-yielding gold look like an expensive hobby compared to high-interest US Treasuries.
The Rupee isn’t just sliding; it’s in a freefall. Falling over 4% in March alone and nearly 10% for the fiscal year, the Indian unit is gasping at record lows near 94.81/$1.
The central bank is fighting a multi-front war:
- Crude Oil Shock: Brent crude at $110 is a direct tax on India’s dollar reserves.
- The Forward Book Time Bomb: The RBI’s net short dollar position in the forward market is estimated to have ballooned to $100 billion.
- Import Cover Erosion: Adjusting for these forward positions, India’s “real” import cover has shriveled from 11 months to just 9.4 months.
If West Asia remains a tinderbox, the buffer that felt “invincible” at $728 billion in February could look skeletal by 2027. Some analysts are already eyeing a drop to $636 billion as the new reality.The RBI is no longer just “managing volatility”; it is performing triage on a currency being pummeled by global m
