There are evenings that stay with you, not because of the glitz, but because of the sheer weight of character in the room. And, #MomentWithMahi, an event presented by PGI-Men of Platinum, was one of them . It wasn’t just a celebration of a cricket legend—it was a masterclass in what it means to lead with purpose – and soul.

Synergy of Values

The theme of the evening was simple yet profound: Courage, Integrity, Resilience, and Humility. There is a poetic alignment between MS Dhoni and platinum. As Vaishali Banerjee, Head of Global Market Development, and MD -India & Middle East-PGI, perfectly captured, platinum is celebrated for its endurance and “purity of purpose.” Much like the metal, Dhoni’s leadership has always been about handling immense pressure without losing its luster. The Men of Platinum MS Dhoni Signature Edition isn’t just jewellery; it’s a tribute to a man who chose character over display.

Vaishali Banerjee, put it in perspective when she said “We celebrate men who choose substance over show. Permanence over trends and character over display. We acknowledge MS Dhoni’s leadership rooted in integrity. The Men of Platinum is not just a collection of jewellery but a tribute to a legend. It reflects strength, endurance and resilience.”

A Fireside Chat with Captain Cool

When Dhoni took the stage for a candid fireside chat, the “Cool” wasn’t just a nickname—it was a presence. He shared insights on leadership, inner strength,self-belief that felt less like sports strategy and more like life lessons:

The Power of Now: He spoke about a “laser-like focus” on the field, emphasizing the importance of being in the moment rather than paralyzing yourself with worry over the final result.
The Weight of Responsibility: Interestingly, he noted that he was often more careful when playing perceived “weaker” teams. He understood that for India, a loss in those moments carried a heavier burden of backlash, showing his deep sense of duty.

Efficiency through observation. Why pay the price of a blunder if someone else has already picked up the tab? By studying the mistakes of coaches, captains and of those around him, he built a blueprint for success that was refined long before he even stepped into the high-pressure role of captaincy.
The Evolution of the Game: From ground conditions to the shifting policies of the IPL, his grasp of the game’s dynamics remains unmatched. And how leadership means adapting to these dynamics.

Resilience Wrapped in Humility

MS Dhoni, Cricketer, Brand Ambassador, Men of Platinum, said Cricket is a team sport. It is “our” team. Everybody contributes.There are moments where if a particular individual hadn’t performed, or a particular bowler hadn’t taken a crucial wicket, we could have lost that tournament. I appreciate everyone’s contribution.And, I love to be in that moment- the present. And, not think too much about what has happened.

More Than a Campaign: A Connection

Through the #MomentWithMahi Platinum Guild International has done something special. They’ve moved beyond a brand association to create a “fan-first” bridge. It’s about giving people a chance to get close to the values they admire: the perseverance, the composure, and the quiet strength that defines a true “Men of Platinum.”

I realized the event wasn’t just about the cricket or the jewellery. It was a reminder that in a world of “show,” there is nothing more meaningful than substance, in a world of display, there is nothing more important than character. And that was what MS Dhoni was all about. And that was what made him an icon—and darling of cricket lovers across the globe.

Thank you PGI. Thank you, Mahi.

Commenting on the performance, Dr. Saurabh Gadgil, Chairman & Managing Director, P N Gadgil Jewellers Limited, said, “The quarter witnessed strong momentum, supported by healthy Festive and wedding-led demand. Revenue from operations increased 35.6% YoY to Rs. 33,026 Mn in Q3 FY26, despite gold price volatility.

Profitability improved significantly during the quarter, with PAT rising 98.6% YoY to Rs.1,709 Mn, supported by a favorable product mix, higher contribution from Studded jewellery, along with disciplined cost management, resulted in meaningful margin expansion. Retail continued to be the primary growth driver, complemented by strong growth in e-commerce and steady performance in the franchise segment. The Company continued to execute its expansion strategy with the addition of three new company-owned stores this quarter at Moshi (Pimpri-Chinchwad), Patna (Bihar), and Viman Nagar under the LiteStyle format, taking the Company’s total retail footprint to 66 stores as of December 2025.
