He is witnessed as one of Maharashtra’s eminent personalities, especially in the field of jewelry. What we are doing today is a tribute to him, thus we have arranged various activities spread throughout the day. He is PNG jeweler’s patriarch. Even though he is not amongst us we have his blessings and his wisdoms of truth, transparency, thinking like pure gold thus leading to purity of our thoughts.

An extremely loveable person, having the curiosity of a 9 year old at the age of 99, his exciting, risk-taking and charming personality totally outshone him even at 99. Coming to P. N. Gadgil Jewellers is as warm as coming home. ”
