A six-generation Maharashtra jewelry house, P N Gadgil & Sons now runs 35 showrooms across 25 cities selling gold, silver, and diamond pieces, backed by an online store at onlinepng.com. Many of its showrooms double as free art galleries, giving space to emerging painters and sculptors alongside the jewelry counters.
Tracing back to a 1939 dairy business in Sangli district, Chitale Bandhu now ships its Maharashtrian sweets, namkeen, and bakarwadi worldwide from its Sadashiv Peth address in Pune. The brand posts an explicit warning against copycat sites, underscoring how often its century-old name gets imitated.
Since Dorabjee Patell took over the business from the British in 1911, this family-run chain has grown into a Pune supermarket chain spanning locations in Camp, Viman Nagar, NIBM, and other neighborhoods. Dorabjee's stocks everything from imported wines and cheeses to fresh seafood and its own bakery counter, with a home delivery app for online orders.
