It was formed in 1975 with specialist teams dedicated to growing the global platinum jewellery market through consumer and trade-facing programmes in the four key jewellery markets of China, India, Japan and USA. Since then, jewellery development has demonstrated a strong track record in delivering results.

Through various programmes, both direct-to-consumer and in collaboration with jewellery retailers and manufacturers, PGI creates consumer ounce demand by first identifying opportunities for platinum in jewellery, and then developing them with partners. It also aims to build an enduring commitment to platinum in jewellery.

PGI’s consumer marketing and educational programmes are focused on developing awareness and an appreciation for platinum’s unique properties as a precious metal for fine jewellery.

In addition, PGI works globally with collaborative partners running extensive marketing programmes in the four main platinum jewellery markets of China, Japan, USA and India. These markets are staffed with experts in strategic planning, marketing, retail, design and business development.

Under Platinum Guild India’s quality assurance programme, each individual piece of jewellery has an assured purity as high as 95%. And as a proof of this assurance, every piece is stamped ‘Pt950’ and comes with a tamper-proof quality assurance card that distinguishes authentic platinum from other jewellery.

A Unique Identification Number is also stamped on the jewellery in addition to the detailed description of the piece you choose for yourself. Our quality assurance programme is in place to ensure transparency and that the platinum the consumer buys is of the highest quality. After all, that is what true value is all about.

Kartik Aaryan Challenges Ravindra Jadega & Chris Gayle as part of Doritos Bold Choice

‘BoldChoice’ filter enables users to, for the first time ever in India, choose how they want the latest tvc of Doritos to end as well as record their reactions on it
Kartik Aaryan, Brand Ambassador Doritos and Bollywood youth icon launched the unique filter and challenged cricket icons Ravindra Jadeja and Chris Gayle to make their ‘bold’ choice and also urged fans to try it out

Doritos, the world’s number one Nacho Chip brand*, has launched a first-of-its-kind Instagram filter, ‘Doritos BoldChoice’, that lets the audience watch the latest Doritos TVC, record their reaction, and choose their ‘bold’ ending. Rolled-out for the first time ever in India, the innovative filter was launched by brand ambassador and Bollywood youth icon, Kartik Aaryan, who challenged cricket icons Ravindra Jadeja and Chris Gayle tomake their ‘bold’ choice along with his fans and followers.

The ‘Doritos BoldChoice’ filter is based on the insight that Gen Z audiences are increasingly relying on their smartphones for entertainment, primarily for watching videos. Taking note, Doritos’ unique filter is designed to intensify digital engagement with Gen Zs on smaller screens and elevate the stickiness of the content by sharing it in a disruptive format.

In the latest Doritos TVC, Kartik plays the role of a college cricketer, alongside model-actor Sanjana Sanghi; with whom Kartik is sharing his mobile number. While doing so, the opponent team’s bowler interrupts their exchange, mocking Kartik for being ‘all talk and no game’. Kartik tells Sanjana to take the rest of his phone number from the scoreboard, and proceeds to hit the bowler for fours and sixes in the first 5 balls. Here is where the ‘Doritos BoldChoice’ filter adds an innovative twist, giving consumers the power to decide whether Kartik should lead with his head or his heart, for the last ball of the over.

By a simple head-tilt to the left or the right, users can either ‘Play It Smart’, wherein Kartik leaves the sixth ball on purpose, much to the surprise of the bowler, who later realises that the smart batsman has ‘boldly’ shared his number with the girl. Or they can ‘Follow The Heart’, wherein Kartik lets the ball hit the stumps on the last ball, sending the bowler into a tailspin. Even as the bowler is rejoicing his short-lived victory, he realises that he has been played and that Kartik has shared his number with the girl.

Sharing his thoughts on the innovative filter, Ankit Agarwal, Associate Director, Brand Marketing – PepsiCo India said, “We believe that bold people like to make their own choice. We applied that insight to our latest campaign, where, with the BoldChoice filter, we harnessed the power of augmented reality and social media to enable consumers to choose how our latest TVC unfolds. We believe that the confluence of interactivity and content discovery through this unique and first of its kind filter will keep consumers engaged and bring alive Doritos’ proposition of Bold Self Expression ”

“From a ‘crunch-tastic’ TVC to a powerful ‘BoldLine’ and now a unique ‘BoldChoice’ filter, the ‘For The Bold’ campaign keeps getting bigger and bolder! I’m thrilled to launch this first-of-its-kind filter with a brand like Doritos that is always empowering people to be bold.” said Doritos brand ambassador, Kartik Aaryan.

Keeping with the flavour of cricket, Kartik challenged two cricket icons Ravindra Jadeja and Chris Gayle to join the filter frenzy. Both of the cricketers could be seen having an amazing time with the filter and much to the delight of their fans, have showed some of their trademark moves on the filter. True to his all-rounder capabilities, Ravindra Jadeja took on the challenge and chose to play it smart, like he always does on the field. On the other hand, widely regarded as one of the most destructive batsmen, Gayle chose to follow his heart in his own unique way, for this unconventional Instagram filter challenge.

Commenting on the filter, Indian Cricketer Ravindra Jadeja, said, “The Doritos BoldChoice Insta filter was an irresistible challenge. It resonated with me deeply as a cricketer. I am always sweating it out on the field – constantly making the choice to play it smart or play with my heart. Making ‘bold choices’ is a cricketer’s way of life and I am excited to be a part of this ‘bold’ engagement.”

Doritos is also engaging with over 3000 influencers to make their ‘bold’ choice amongst different endings and showcase how the TVC follows their command, to their followers and brand fans.

Spanish Concert by Minu Bakshi for Embassy of Spain

Minu Bakshi Presented Legendary Spanish Poet, Federico García Lorca’s compositions for the Embassy of Spain Event Celebrating Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav on February 25th 2022 at Kamani Auditorium, New Delhi.The evening witnessed a powerful performance of singer Minu Bakshi, who mesmerized her audiences with her own rendition of the ten Spanish songs that were composed by the legendary poet Federico Garcia Lorca almost a hundred years before. The standing ovation that she received from a hall packed with Celebrities, dignitaries, Ambassadors of Latin American diplomatic community and art enthusiasts, has marked this concert as amongst the most successful events in the history of Indo-Spanish cultural programs. Minu Bakshi’s effortless performance was not just surprising but absolutely enthralling for each and every one, as the audiences kept requesting for more.

FICCI FLO president Harjinder Kaur Talwar, Architectural restorer Sunita Kohli with Minu Bakshi

Minister of State for External Affairs and Culture of India, Smt Meenakshi Lekhi was all praises for Minu Bakshi’s melodious recital. The diplomatic community was charmed with a Spanish concert by an Indian singer and with such perfection. Guests included Filmmaker and Fashion Designer Muzaffar Ali, Bina Ramani, Reynu Taandon, Ex FICCI FLO President Harjinder Kaur Talwar, Interior designer Sunita Kohli, Painter Hemi Bawa, Francois Delhaye, Ambassador of Belgium to India and Mariana Pacheco Montes, Ambassador of Columbia to India.

To mark India’s 75 years of Independence, the nationwide celebrations also witnessed the Embassy of Spain presenting their Indo-Spanish cultural events from 21st-27th February 2022 in the Capital.

“This year marks a significant date for India since we are celebrating the 75 years of its Independence. On this special occasion, the Embassy of Spain in India presents this event based on one of the most appreciated Spanish poets, Federico García Lorca. His works represent the European vanguard and surrealism of the 20th century, they combine Spanish folklore, Andalusian flamenco, Gypsy culture, while exploring themes of romantic love, women’s rights and tragedy. Therefore, to honour AKAM, the Indian artist and hispanicist, Minu Bakshi, was invited to interpret ten celebrated Spanish songs based on the 1931 performance of Federico García Lorca and La Argentinita. Minu Bakshi has dedicated her life to the study of the Spanish language and culture, and there is no better artist to have interpreted these songs.

H.E José Maria Ridao, Ambassador of Spain in India, Minister of State for External Affairs and Culture of India, Chief Guest of the evening, Smt Meenakshi Lekhi, with Minu Bakshi

I am overwhelmed to witness Minu Bakshi’s recital today. The ease and perfection with which she presented the songs is amazing. She has truly justified my faith in her and created an extraordinary fusion in her presentation of the songs keeping the flamenco flavour alive yet giving it that Indian touch, making this a cultural sangam of both Spain and India”, says H.E José Maria Ridao, Ambassador of Spain in India.

Meenu Bakshi’s Take on the Enchanting Evening

“The Federico García Lorca show has been amongst my most difficult ones to date. There are various reasons for this. One, I was singing songs that I had never heard before. Two, I had only a month to prepare. Three, I had to maintain the original composition that was of the year 1931, the recording where the style of singing was completely different, the language, the Spanish was different from how we speak it today. The songs were sung at a speed which for a non-native Spanish speaker was difficult to follow.

“The original piano in the songs has been played by Federico García Lorca himself and so my pianist had to follow the staff notes as it is and I had to make sure that every word fit into those notations. The other thing was that I had never done a concert with a piano before and that also classical piano and it was the only instrument to work with. The other instrument was the castanets in place of which I used the tabla to give that Indian feel, even the heel tapping was reproduced on the tabla,” she further adds.

The next challenge was to memorize 10 songs. Remember, they were folk songs picked up from the villages from the south of Spain, so they were tough. I spent nights hearing them, getting the nuances and their feel, memorizing them. Because when you are on stage and are reading, your emotions can never be the same. To be able to emote you need to have them all in your head. That was very challenging.

I was practicing through the afternoon and hearing them on my headphones throughout the night, to the point that I would fall asleep with the headphones in my ears and my husband would remove the headphones from my ears. So, it would not be dishonest if I say I was eating, sleeping and drinking these songs.

Also, we tried to give it that little Indian touch by using some Indian elements like a sargam or an alap but keeping the flamenco feel alive in a way that would not compromise the original Spanish flavor, and also not overdoing the Indian bit, a balance that was difficult to keep. The standing ovation that we got from the Spanish community, the Latin- American diplomatic community and request for an encore makes me believe that the program went well.

One also felt a little stressed as it was an official Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav of 75 years of India’s Independence. The Ministry of Culture was involved, the Spanish embassy team in India had put their life into it as for them it was a hugely important event besides they had shown so much faith in me. This program was done at the behest of the Ambassador of Spain in India and I did not want to let them down in any way.

This being a collaboration between India, where I was born and brought up and Spain, a country with which I have a past life bonding and that has given me so much love and honor.”

Kaya | A complete guide to Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal is quite common these days with many people opting to do their entire body at one go. Dr. Sushant Shetty MD (Skin) Head- Medical Operations, Services & Engineering, Kaya Limited says that with improving technology, people now require fewer, less painful sessions to completely eradicate the hair from the chosen body part. It is a more convenient and cost-effective option when compared to waxing. It is most often, a one-time investment as opposed to visiting your local salon once a month, at the very least.

Laser hair removal is a procedure wherein a concentrated beam of light is used to remove unwanted hair from a chosen body part. The concentrated light is converted to heat, which, in essence, damages the hair follicles in the skin. Laser hair reduction is safe for all skin types and body parts. Some common body parts people prefer to do the procedure on are: armpits, bikini area, upper lip, chin, and legs. You can also get laser hair reduction done for full body.

Many people are often hesitant to get a permanent hair removal procedure done on their body. The minute they hear laser, they wonder about the pain levels. With advances in laser technologies, this procedure is pain-free, hassle-free and you will notice 90% less hair growth after 6-8 sessions.

If it’s your first time with laser hair removal/laser hair reduction, it’s always advisable to first consult your physician so they can better understand your hair growth. Once you do this, you are always free to ask for a trial session to begin with. If you feel like this is something for you and it’s suiting your skin, you can go ahead and see it through for the longer run. At Kaya Clinics, the in-house experts closely assess treatments for every individual and recommend sessions accordingly.

The treatment is usually painless. At the most, it feels like little pricks. Although areas with more dense skin hurt much less, in areas with more sensitive skin such as the underarms or bikini area, there is a possibility you will feel the effects of the laser slightly more. However, experts are sure to use soothing or numbing gel first, before running the laser over your skin. Both, the client as well as the expert are also required to wear protective eye gear. Laser hair removal side effects are only minimal with possible redness, swelling or discomfort. However, this is usually temporary and most people carry on with their regular lives right after.

It might seem like a lot of effort at first, but once you get the hang of it, it’s pretty smooth sailing from there. Typically, a person is recommended about 6-7 sessions, with one session a month. The time for each session varies too – for example, the bigger the body part such as legs or arms, the longer it takes. You can even break up your sessions into smaller body parts, so you don’t have to sit for too long at once.

Now, just as every relationship is unique, so is the case from person to person with permanent hair removal. Depending on the type of hair growth, some people may require fewer or more sessions than others to see longer lasting results.

It’s always a two-way street to make something work, though. It’s important that you look after your skin post-treatment. It’s best to speak to your dermatologist but general care involves avoiding direct sunlight on treated areas, and tending to sensitive skin. You can consider the Kaya Daily Moisturising Sunscreen or Kaya Tea Tree And Honey Purifying Body Wash for post care. Tea Tree and Honey are both highly effective ingredients to soothe the skin.

Laser hair removal benefits include:

· Delayed hair growth

· Finer, smoother, weaker hair minimizing its appearance

· Lesser growth

· No hassle of continuous waxing, shaving is much quicker and only when needed

ZIGLY ORGANIZES FREE DENTAL HEALTH CHECK UP

On the occasion of National Pet Dental Health month, with an aim to create awareness about the importance of pet dental health, Zigly, a digital-first, omni-channel retail platform conducted a Free Dental Health Check-Up Camp at Zigly Store located in Kailash Colony on 26th & 27th Feb between 12 – 5 along with free Dental Consultation through the website till 28th February.

Looking after dental health is important. Pet owners often take their canine babies for grooming sessions but what they do not realize is that the latter’s dental health is as important which results in their dental health checkup taking a backseat. According to the American Veterinary Dental College, it’s estimated that the majority of pets show symptoms of dental or periodontal disease by three years of age.

Talking about the camp,Mr. Ambarish Sikarwar, Business Head, Zigly said, “Zigly’s objective is to ensure the well-being of each and every Pet and the objective of this campaign is to generate awareness on dental hygiene. Although pets are now part of the family, awareness on dental care is missing. We humans take care of our dental hygiene and often miss the dental hygiene of a pet.”

“Statics show that 80% of pets above 3 years old have dental problems. Pet’s dental health is the most vital care to be ensured, dental disease doesn’t just affect the mouth , it can lead to serious health problems affecting intestinal tract, heart , lung , kidney and joints .We are providing free dental check up at Zigly to one of the most overlooked area of pet care practice . This check up will ensure your pet lives a healthy and happy life,” he added.

Dr. Deepak Saraswat Sr. Veterinary Consultant, Zigly said “The dental needs of dogs are similar to that of humans. A regular visit to the clinic with your furry babies and brushing their teeth once every 2-3 times a week is necessary. I believe starting early helps conditioning the pets to get accustomed to the procedure. There are always treats and water additives to encourage furry babies to fall in line with the routine too.”

The dental needs of dogs are similar to that of humans. A regular visit to the clinic with your furry babies and brushing their teeth once every 2-3 times a week is a practice vets swear by. Starting this procedure early helps conditioning the pets to get accustomed to the procedure. There are always treats and water additives to encourage furry babies to fall in line with the routine too.

About Zigly

Zigly is a digital-first, omni-channel retail platform that will offer the widest range of pet care products such as nutritional supplements and hygiene products, prescription medicines, treats and toys as well as accessories and services ranging from grooming, training and tele-health services – a one-stop solution.
