HISTORY
It 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.
With the Trust, Transparent Policies, Splendid Craftsmanship and Good Service paved the success to Purshottam Narayan Gadgil (PNG) in Pune. Today Purshottam Narayan Gadgil (PNG) is successful brand in the Jewellery Industry and is carrying its legacy since 1832. In 2012 Purshottam Narayan Gadgil & Company demerged and P. N. Gadgil & Sons was formed by Mr. Govind Gadgil & Dr. Renu Gadgil. In November 2017 P. N. Gadgil & Sons became Limited Company. The first day business page of year 1832 (Account) is preserved with Gadgil family.
