#MomentWithMahi by PGI-Men of Platinum
Leadership with purpose – and soul
#JbExclusive
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.

Addressing the gathering, KP Chair 2026, Suchindra Misra, stated that the Kimberley Process has played an important role in supporting peace, protecting livelihoods, and strengthening legitimate diamond trade across producing nations. He emphasised the need to further strengthen trust in the system, enhance cooperation among participants, and ensure that the Kimberley Process remains relevant and effective in a changing global environment.
He also highlighted that natural diamonds represent a sustainable product and that the Kimberley Process continues to remain one of the most progressive certification systems globally.
The Intersessional Meeting will include discussions and meetings of various Working Groups and Committees over the coming days. The deliberations will focus on implementation of the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme (KPCS), monitoring and compliance mechanisms, artisanal and alluvial diamond production, statistics, and measures aimed at strengthening trust in the natural diamond value chain. The proceedings of the Intersessional Meeting will continue till May 14, 2026.
The meeting is also expected to provide an opportunity for Participants and Observers to exchange views on emerging challenges and collaborative approaches for enhancing consumer confidence in ethically sourced natural diamonds.
Senior officials of the Department of Commerce, Government of India, representatives from Kimberley Process Participants, members of the World Diamond Council, Civil Society Coalition members, and other stakeholders are participating in the Intersessional Meeting.
Quote attributed to Kirit Bhansali, Chairman, GJEPC :
“India today stands at the heart of the global natural diamond industry, not only as the world’s largest cutting and polishing center, but also as one of the fastest-growing diamond jewellery markets globally. As an industry, we remain committed to strengthening consumer confidence, promoting transparency, and working together with global stakeholders to ensure that natural diamonds continue to remain a symbol of trust, aspiration, and shared prosperity across the world.
GJEPC, as co-organizer of the Intersessional under India’s Kimberley Process Chairship, is pleased to support this important global platform that will help strengthen confidence, enhance compliance, and reinforce the credibility of the global diamond ecosystem.”
India’s Chairship theme for 2026 focuses on the 3Cs — credibility, compliance, and consumer confidence in the natural diamond sector, with emphasis on strengthening the future of responsibly sourced natural diamonds through constructive dialogue and international collaboration.
The Kimberley Process Certification Scheme (KPCS), established pursuant to the United Nations General Assembly Resolution 55/56 (2000), is an international initiative aimed at preventing the flow of conflict diamonds into the legitimate diamond trade. At present, the Kimberley Process has 60 Participants representing 86 countries, with the European Union and its Member States participating as a single bloc.
India assumed the Chairship of the Kimberley Process on January 1, 2026, reaffirming its commitment to strengthening responsible sourcing, transparency, and sustainability in the global diamond sector. As one of the world’s leading centres for diamond cutting and polishing, India continues to play an important role in advancing the objectives of the Kimberley Process.
