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.

Bollywood Meets Business Legacy: Ranbir Kapoor Praises PNG Jewellers Chairman’s Raw New Memoir, Choosing Gold

An Avid Reader Of Real-Life Stories, Ranbir Kapoor Calls Choosing Gold “Rare” For How It Treats Failure, Not As A Footnote, But As The Making Of An Instinct

Published

Stories of resilience from business leaders often inspire individuals across all walks of life, and this time, it was Bollywood superstar Ranbir Kapoor who shared his appreciation for the profound insights in Choosing Gold, the debut memoir of Dr. Saurabh Gadgil, Chairman and Managing Director of PNG Jewellers, when presented with a copy by the author recently.

Released nationally by Penguin Random House India, Choosing Gold traces the mindset that built the 194-year-old legacy of PNG Jewellers and that of its Chairman and Managing Director, Dr. Saurabh Gadgil. During their interaction, Ranbir Kapoor revealed he was excited to dive deep into the book after being drawn to its premise, praising its raw reflection on legacy, choices, tough decisions, learnings from failures and overcoming setbacks. Ranbir is an avid reader and appreciates real life stories and autobiographies.

Dr. Saurabh Gadgil, CMD of PNG Jewellers, said:

“Writing Choosing Gold meant resisting the temptation to rewrite my past with the clarity I only have now. I wanted the honesty of what I actually knew and felt in each moment, not the polished version hindsight gives you. Sharing this book with Ranbir led me to have one of the more meaningful conversations I’ve had about the book. We come from very different worlds, but the weight of legacy, and the discomfort of choosing the harder path, turned out to be something we both recognized in each other’s lives.

If even one reader finishes this book and makes their next difficult decision with a little more courage, I’ll consider it to have done its job.”

Sharing his thoughts about the book, Ranbir Kapoor said:

“I love reading autobiographies and real-life stories, because the best ones don’t just tell you what someone achieved, they show you what it cost them and what they were willing to risk. Choosing Gold caught my attention immediately, and the title says it all: this isn’t a story about one big break, it’s about a series of hard, deliberate choices made again and again, often against the safer option. What struck me most is how Saurabh writes about failure, not as a footnote before the success, but as something that actually shaped his instincts. That’s rare in this genre.

Building a legacy like his isn’t about a single moment of vision; it’s about the discipline to keep choosing the harder path when an easier one is right there. That mindset is what makes this book worth reading, whether or not you’re in business at all.”

Choosing Gold offers a candid look into leadership and resilience beyond balance sheets. Formally celebrated at an exclusive Mumbai event featuring actor Madhuri Dixit, the memoir is available across PNG Jewellers stores, pngjewellers.com, Amazon, and leading bookstores nationwide. Ranbir Kapoor and Madhuri Dixit, both are brand ambassadors for PNG Jewellers.
