Rajesh Rokde, Chairman, GJC; was the chief guest for the 9th Edition of the Platinum Platinum Season of Love Award at Grand Hyatt, Bolgatty, Kochi.

Addressing at the award Vaishali Banerjee, Head of Global Market Development & Managing Director (India & Middle East), Platinum Guild International said, " We all know that 2025 was a volatile year. Yet despite that volatility, Platinum continued on its growth journey. The clients delivered around a 10% retail growth, while some of you, our partners, did an extraordinary 15%. That is a refection of not just the consumer demand, but of your belief and commitment to platinum and building that category. We are excited to share with you what comes next, what we are doing across all our three brands plus and Lovebands, and particularly our bold new chapter for Men of Platinum. We believe this will really redefine what bigger and bolder looks like for the category. We have also taken innovation beyond marketing products, design to the very metal itself. Some of you would have seen Inovio Platinum. It's a new AI enabled alloy that has been created to unlock new possibilities and opportunities."

PGI introduced INOVEO - a new AI enabled alloy that has been created to unlock new possibilities and opportunities.

Pallavi Sharma Deputy Country Manager, India & ME, Platinum Guild International (PGI) and other PGI team members gave presentation.
