History
Their was in the early 19th century, when Gadgil family decided to move for a better future, from a small village called Trimbak in Malvan Tehsil in the south Konkan of Maharashtra to Sangli. The family head Mr. Narayanrao Vasudeorao Gadgil continued with his business of selling towels, which by then had acquired a brand-like status, called famously as “Gadgili Panche”. His son Ganesh learned jewellery business under the guidance of Mr. Modak, a family of jewellers with roots in Konkan. After getting that hands-on experience, Ganesh decided to start his own jewellery business in Sangli.
On November 29,1832, he started the business with the name “Ganesh Narayan Gadgil”. As years passed, Gadgil’s jewellery business started flourishing in Sangli. Two generations later, Gadgil family named this business as ‘Purshottam Narayan Gadgil’—after the then family head—which is now a well-known jewellery retail brand.
The jewellery business was limited to Sangli, until 1957, around almost 125 years of its establishment. The vision of fourth generation of Gadgil family, namely Vishwanath Gadgil (Father of Govind alias Ajit Gadgil), Laxman alias Nanasaheb Gadgil (Grandfather of Akshay & Rohan Gadgil) and Anant Gadgil (Father of Vidyadhar Gadgil) was different. The trio decided to take this legacy outside their hometown Sangli, and moved to Pune in 1958 and opened the first showroom on the Laxmi Road. It was a courageous decision at that time, as the traditional Jewellery market was limited to the Sonya Maruti Chowk area, in the Raviwar Peth of Pune.

Leadership
I feel our biggest differentiator is not only the ability to understand local, think local and act local, but at the same time bring in our vast experience and sourcing strength out of operating in multiple markets. Jewellery is a complicated product, because tastes vary even within the same state. What helps us here is the huge variety of products we stock from artisans across the country and even the Arab countries. We carefully and painstakingly select the designs of our products and customise them according to the demands of the consumer demography of each market we step into as India is such a vast country with diverse tastes.
