The association reinforces Litestyle’s role as a strategic bridge between PNG Jewellers’ legacy customers and its future customers. While PNG has been a trusted name across generations for nearly two centuries, Litestyle has been consciously created to remain relevant to the next generation through a modern retail format, contemporary design language, and an omni-channel experience.

Speaking on the larger vision behind Litestyle, Dr. Saurabh Gadgil, Chairman and Managing Director, PNG Jewellers, said, “Litestyle by PNG is a conscious and long-term effort to bridge our existing customers with future customers. While PNG has earned trust across generations, it is equally important for us to stay relevant to the way younger consumers think, shop and express themselves today. Litestyle has been created as a modern retail format with a strong omnichannel presence, designed around everyday moments rather than only traditional occasions.

This is not a short-term style initiative, but a serious business vertical under the PNG umbrella, with dedicated focus on merchandising, planning, marketing and digital platforms. The encouraging response to our pilot stores has given us confidence to scale the brand in a structured manner across key markets.”

Sara Tendulkar’s natural elegance, modern outlook, and strong digital connect make her a strong fit for the brand’s philosophy. With over 8.9 million followers on Instagram, she is widely recognised for her understated style, authenticity and balanced presence. Her preference for clean silhouettes, minimal embellishment and comfort led fashion aligns seamlessly with Litestyle’s design ethos.

Commenting on the association, Sara Tendulkar said, “Litestyle reflects a sense of ease and individuality that feels very natural to me. The jewellery is light, thoughtful and designed for everyday life, which makes this partnership genuinely exciting.”

Adding to this, Hemant Chaavan, Head Marketing and E-commerce, Litestyle by PNG, said, “Sara represents the mindset of the young woman Litestyle is created for, confident, modern and expressive in her own way. Her ability to connect organically with younger audiences strengthens Litestyle’s ambition to become a preferred jewellery destination for future consumers who value design, ease and authenticity.

As brand ambassador, Sara will feature in brand and collection campaigns, participate in digital initiatives, media interactions and attend key store launches. She will also serve as a style muse for select collections. The two-year partnership begins in December 2025, with collections featuring Sara planned for launch from March 2026 onwards.

Litestyle by PNG operates as a distinct business vertical under the PNG umbrella, catering to women who buy jewellery beyond traditional or festive occasions whether for self-purchase, gifting or everyday moments. The brand follows a strong omnichannel approach that integrates physical stores, digital platforms and content-led engagement.

Following encouraging response from pilot stores in Pune and Goa, Litestyle is now set for structured expansion. The brand plans to scale to around 50 stores by FY 2028, comprising a mix of company-owned and franchise-owned formats, supported by a robust online store and app. The initial phase of expansion will focus on Maharashtra, followed by expansion into other parts of India.

Ekta Kapoor Turns Investor, Targets India’s $70 Billion Jewellery Opportunity With Ekatra Jewels

The Woman Who Built India’s Entertainment Legacy Now Sets Her Sights On A $70 Billion Luxury Industry Bringing Her Legacy Of Women-first Storytelling To Ekatra Jewels, The Conscious Diamond House Rewriting The Rules Of Fine Jewellery.

Published

After decades of creating stories that have resonated with millions, acclaimed producer and entrepreneur Ekta Kapoor is stepping into a new chapter — one that extends beyond entertainment and into the world of modern luxury. Ekta Kapoor partners with Ekatra Jewels.

More than a business collaboration, Ekta’s entry into Ekatra Jewels marks the beginning of a women-led movement designed to disrupt the traditional jewellery industry, bringing together storytelling, innovation, technology, and conscious craftsmanship for a new generation of Indian women.

For decades, Ekta Kapoor has shaped Indian culture by creating stories centred around powerful, ambitious women who challenge convention. At Ekatra Jewels, she now brings that same disruptive vision to jewellery, helping redefine jewellery not as something locked away for occasions, but as an everyday expression of identity, ambition, and self-worth.

Ekta Kapoor said:

“For generations, jewellery was treated as something women protected for occasions. I believe jewellery should move with women through everyday life, through ambition, work, celebration, travel, and self-expression. That’s what excited me about Ekatra. At Ekatra, we are building a brand that reflects the woman of today: conscious, expressive, independent, and unapologetically powerful,”

With Ekta Kapoor shaping the cultural and emotional voice of the brand, Ekatra Jewels is positioning itself as India’s first true Design · Technology jewellery house.

At the core of Ekatra Jewels’ innovation are its 100% IGI-certified lab-grown diamonds, including premium Type II-A diamonds — the purest and rarest category of diamonds in the world, known for their exceptional brilliance, chemical purity, and optical performance.

Leading the brand’s innovation is the flagship Shristi Ratna™, Ekatra Jewels’ patented 108-facet diamond cut. While traditional diamonds feature 57 facets, the Shristi Ratna™ is engineered with 108 facets to maximize fire, light return, and brilliance. Inspired by the sacred significance of the number 108 in Indian culture — symbolizing wholeness and cosmic alignment — the cut represents the fusion of ancient Indian philosophy with futuristic precision engineering.

Alongside Kapoor’s announcement, Ekatra Jewels also unveiled “Oh My Gold,” a collection co-created with Sussanne Khan. Using proprietary Hollow-construction Technology, the collection is engineered to be up to 80% lighter than traditional gold jewellery, liberating women from the burden of heavy occasion-wear and transforming gold into effortless, everyday luxury.

By combining Ekta Kapoor’s deep understanding of modern Indian women with Ekatra Jewels’ vision for conscious innovation, lightweight engineering, and future-facing diamonds, the brand is not simply entering the jewellery market — it is setting out to redefine it.

The future of Indian luxury is lighter, smarter, more conscious, and unapologetically female-led.
