Marathi Edition of Choosing Gold Launched in Pune
Pune, 25 October 2026: Dr. Saurabh Gadgil, Chairman and Managing Director of PNG Jewellers, launched the Marathi edition of his debut memoir, Choosing Gold, in Pune, in the presence of popular Marathi actress Shreya Bugade. The Marathi edition comes just three months after the book’s English release in August 2026, bringing Dr Gadgil’s personal and professional journey closer to readers in his mother tongue.

A Memoir Reflecting PNG Jewellers’ 194-Year Legacy
Choosing Gold offers a deeply personal account of Dr. Gadgil’s journey as the sixth-generation custodian of PNG Jewellers, one of India’s oldest and most respected jewellery businesses with a legacy spanning 194 years. Originally published in English by Penguin Random House India in August 2026, the memoir reflects on the challenges, defining decisions and experiences that shaped his leadership and the evolution of the business. With the launch of its Marathi edition, this journey now reaches readers in a language closely connected to Dr. Gadgil’s upbringing, family and roots.
Leadership, Family Values and Personal Identity
More than the story of a successful entrepreneur, Choosing Gold is an honest reflection on the responsibility of carrying forward a legacy while finding one’s own identity. Having taken over the leadership of PNG Jewellers, Dr. Gadgil navigated several defining moments that tested his conviction and shaped his outlook. The memoir revisits the lessons learned from setbacks, conversations with his grandfather and mother that stayed with him over the years, and personal experiences that influenced his decisions. It also offers insight into his approach to leading and transforming a nearly two-century-old family business while remaining rooted in the values on which it was built.
Dr. Saurabh Gadgil on Bringing His Memoir to Marathi Readers
Speaking on the launch, Dr. Saurabh Gadgil, Chairman and Managing Director, PNG Jewellers, said, “Ever since the English edition of Choosing Gold was released, I had been eagerly looking forward to bringing the book to Marathi readers. Marathi is my mother tongue, and seeing my experiences, decisions and learnings reach readers in my own language is a moment of immense pride and happiness for me. Writing this book allowed me to revisit several moments in my life. Some decisions worked out, some did not, and the significance of a few became clear only years later. Each of these experiences has shaped the person I am today. My family’s values, the rich legacy of PNG Jewellers and the trust our customers have placed in us have all played an important role in this journey. I am particularly happy that the Marathi edition will allow me to connect with readers in a more personal way. If even one experience from my journey helps someone approach a difficult decision with greater confidence, I would consider the purpose of this book fulfilled.”
Shreya Bugade Celebrates the Double Milestone
Popular Marathi actress Shreya Bugade, who graced the occasion as the chief guest, said, “It is truly an honour to be part of the launch of the Marathi edition of Dr. Saurabh Gadgil’s Choosing Gold. What makes this occasion even more special is that we are also celebrating 25 glorious years of PNG Jewellers’ Paud Road store. It is a double celebration, and I am delighted to be part of it.”
