PNG Jewellers Expands National Footprint, Celebrates Lucknow’s Cultural Legacy with Launch by Sushmita Sen
Expanding its national footprint, PNG Jewellers, Maharashtra’s leading organised family jeweller with a legacy of 193 years, embarked on a new retail journey by launching its first store in Uttar Pradesh, in the city of Lucknow, on 27th September. The store was launched by actress and heart throb Sushmita Sen.
The inauguration was graced by the Honorable Deputy Chief Minister Shri Brajesh Pathak and Danish Ansari, MOS, Govt. of UP. Brajesh assured us of the Govt’s full support in our expansion journey, which is truly encouraging!!
The evening got even more special as the ever-graceful Sushmita Sen joined us to launch our first-ever Tullika Collection, inspired by elephant motifs, crafted in kundan and delicate filigree, designed especially for the people of Uttar Pradesh. Sushmita also interacted with crowds that were waiting to catch a glimpse of her.



Located at Gomati Nagar in Lucknow,the brand-new, large-format store celebrates the legacy of one of India’s oldest family jewellers in the capital of Uttar Pradesh. The store presents PNG’s complete range of jewellery, including gold, diamonds, silver, and platinum, including the popular Golden Katha, Pratha, Eiina, and Saptam collections, bringing in designs that strike a balance between timeless tradition, contemporary elegance, and match the tastes of the new customer segment in the city. On this festive occasion, customers can avail a flat 50% off on gold jewellery making charges, flat 100% off on diamond jewellery making charges, and 0% deduction on gold exchange.
Lucknow, known as the “City of Nawabs,” has always been synonymous with culture, grace, and artistry. From its royal heritage, literature, and performing arts to its intricate chikankari craft, the city is a symbol of timeless sophistication. PNG Jewellers’ entry into Lucknow represents not just an expansion but a cultural resonance, where jewellery becomes a part of the city’s living legacy.

Inaugurating the maiden store of PNG Jewellers in Lucknow, Bollywood superstar Sushmita Sen said, “Lucknow has always been a city of heritage and grace, and PNG Jewellers fits beautifully into its spirit with jewellery that tells stories of culture and craftsmanship. This is the brand’s first showroom in the city and the state, and I wish PNG Jewellers a brilliant journey ahead.”
Speaking about the launch, Dr. Saurabh Gadgil said, “Our entry into Uttar Pradesh has been meticulously strategised, as we recognise the cultural richness of Lucknow and the similarities in values that bind its people to our philosophy. Uttar Pradesh forms an important cornerstone of PNG Jewellers’ customer community of tomorrow. Just as Lucknow has preserved its glorious traditions while embracing modernity, PNG too carries forward its unmatched heritage with a contemporary design sensibility. This store represents not only our growth but also our commitment to becoming part of the city’s cultural and social fabric.”

With this launch, PNG Jewellers strengthens its presence beyond Maharashtra, continuing its Navratri expansion with large and small-format stores opening across Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh.

Kriti Sanon Joins GIVA As Investor and Brand Ambassador
Move Marks A Strategic Partnership As GIVA Strengthens Its Position In India’s Fast-Growing Fine Jewellery Market
GIVA, India’s leading fine jewellery brand, today announced National Award-winning actor and entrepreneur Kriti Sanon as both Brand Ambassador and Strategic Investor, marking a significant milestone in the company’s growth journey.
The announcement builds on GIVA’s recent campaign launch with Kriti Sanon, Style, Sealed in Silver, signalling a deeper long-term association between the actor and the brand. Beyond capital, Kriti’s association with GIVA will extend across brand-building, collection design inputs, and consumer engagement, leveraging her strong understanding of fashion, culture, and aspirational young audiences as the brand enters its next phase of growth.

Today, the brand is increasingly focused on a new generation of consumers who view jewellery as an extension of personal style, aspirational, design-led, and made for everyday expression rather than just occasions.
Over the last six years, GIVA has emerged as one of India’s fastest-growing omnichannel jewellery brands, with a rapidly expanding footprint across silver jewellery, gold, and lab-grown diamonds. Today, the brand operates over 300+ stores across the country and Sri Lanka and has built a strong connection with young Indian consumers looking for jewellery that feels personal, expressive, and worn beyond occasion.
Founded in 2019 by Ishendra Agarwal and Nikita Prasad, GIVA entered the market with a clear thesis that India lacked a strong, organised player in the everyday fine silver jewellery category. At a time when silver jewellery remained fragmented and largely occasion-led, GIVA built a design-forward brand focused on young consumers seeking authentic, accessible jewellery they could wear every day.
Speaking on the announcement, Ishendra Agarwal, Founder, GIVA, said:

“Kriti joining GIVA as both ambassador and investor marks a strategic milestone for the brand. She strongly resonates with the new generation of consumers confident, expressive, and deeply individualistic that GIVA is building for. Her investment reflects a shared belief in our long-term vision and the future of design-led fine jewellery in India. Over the years, GIVA has built a strong emotional connection with consumers, and we are excited to have Kriti partner with us as we enter our next phase of growth.”
Speaking about the partnership, Kriti Sanon said:
“What drew me to GIVA was never just the jewellery, it was the conviction behind the brand. From the very beginning, GIVA understood something that many miss: that young India doesn’t want to be dressed, they want to express. And GIVA has built a language for that. By the time we started discussing a partnership, I already believed deeply in the vision. I’ve watched this brand earn real trust, real love, and I wanted to be part of what comes next. And as an investor, I’m here to help shape what it becomes, bringing my instincts around fashion, storytelling, and design to a brand I genuinely believe in.”

Kriti’s strategic investment comes on the heels of GIVA’s ₹530 crore Series C round led by Creaegis, with participation from Premji Invest, Epiq Capital, and Edelweiss Discovery Fund capital being deployed towards retail expansion, technology, supply chain strengthening, and growth in newer categories including lab-grown diamonds.
With design, distribution, and now a deeper creative partnership at its core, GIVA is building towards becoming the defining fine jewellery brand for a new generation of Indian consumers.
