Platinum Guild International (PGI) India has launched the 2026 edition of ‘Platinum Season of Love’, running from 17 April to 31 May across jewellery stores nationwide. The activation showcases collections across Men of Platinum, Platinum Evara and Platinum Love Bands, supported by a consumer campaign featuring MS Dhoni.
The programme aligns with peak wedding-season demand, positioning platinum, 95% pure and 30 times rarer than gold, as a distinct offering. Strong retailer participation is expected to drive visibility and conversion at the point of sale.
Vaishali Banerjee, Managing Director – India & Middle East, PGI, said: “Young Indian consumers today are increasingly drawn to jewellery that reflects who they are—making rarity, meaning and self-expression more important than ever. Platinum is uniquely placed to meet this need.”
Retailers echoed similar sentiment on the activation:
G.R. ‘Anand’ Ananthapadmanabhan, Managing Director of GRT Jewellers, said: “Platinum continues to stand apart as a precious metal with a unique story.
