About

It was in the early 19th century when the 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 "Gadgil Panche". His son Ganesh learned the 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, the Gadgil family named this business as ‘Purshottam Narayan Gadgil’—after the then family head—which is now a well-known jewellery retail brand.
