Platinum Guild International (PGI) expanded its leadership team, appointing Vaishali Banerjee as Head of Global Market Development. She will also retain her current role as Managing Director – India & Middle East, two key regions for the metal’s growth.

“This is a transformative time for platinum,” said Vaishali Banerjee. “We are witnessing a shift in global sentiment towards meaningful consumption. Platinum — with its rarity, preciousness, and enduring value — is perfectly poised to accompany this moment. I look forward to further strengthening our presence in India and the UAE while building momentum across key and emerging global markets.”

Further reinforcing its leadership bench, PGI has elevated Pallavi Sharma to Deputy Country Manager – India & Middle East.
