The company was originally incorporated as ‘P N Gadgil Jewellers Private Limited’, a private limited company under the provisions of the Companies Act, 1956, pursuant to a certificate of incorporation dated October 28, 2013, issued by the Registrar of Companies, Maharashtra at Pune (the RoC).

P N Gadgil Jewellers is the fastest growing jewellery brand amongst the key organised jewellery players in India. The ‘PNG’ brand derives its legacy from the ‘P N Gadgil’ brand, which has a rich heritage dating back to 1832 and a legacy of over a century. Leveraging the legacy and heritage of the ‘PNG’ brand, the company has created a strong brand recall and presence in Maharashtra offering a wide range of precious metal / jewellery products including gold, silver, platinum and diamond jewellery, across various price points and designs which cover the need of its customers and include collections that are specifically designed for special occasions, such as weddings, engagements, anniversaries and festivals, as well as everyday wear jewellery. Its products are primarily sold under its flagship brand, ‘PNG’, and various sub - brands, through multiple channels, including its retail stores and various online marketplaces, including its website.
Owing to the company’s multi-channel approach, it complements its in - store experience with its digital presence through its own website and other major online marketplaces. Additionally, it has launched its mobile application ‘PNG Jewellers’, in March 2022. Its digital presence allows it to keep its customers updated on new designs and collections and familiarise them with its product portfolio, which enhances its customers’ in-store experience. It regularly interacts with a team of designers deployed at the Karigars’ facilities for introducing new and innovative design for its jewelleries. Its design team also helps customize jewellery catering to individual requirements in terms of design, size, polish and weight. The manufacturing of all its jewellery is carried out by many experienced and skilled artisans in and outside Maharashtra (Karigars). Its brand presence and stores in Maharashtra has helped it gaining access to, and maintaining a long-standing relationship with, the Karigars, who have been working with the company for several years.
