The ₹600 Cr to ₹8,500 Cr Story: Aditya Modak on Growth, Grit & Gargi

Aditya Modak, COO and CFO of Gargi by PNGS is a CA, CS, and alumnus of the Indian School of Business, he entered P N Gadgil & Sons with strong credentials, but little acknowledgment. For the first few years, he was a quiet observer—learning, absorbing, and waiting. Then came the turning point. As the business navigated change during COVID, Aditya found his moment. From there, he didn’t just manage numbers—he helped reshape the narrative. As CFO and COO, he played a key role in scaling PNGS from ₹600 crore to ₹8,500 crore, expanding its footprint and strengthening its position among India’s leading companies. But perhaps his most defining move was Gargi by PNGS—a bold, silver-first jewellery brand designed for a new generation. Built for Gen Z and millennial consumers, Gargi wasn’t just a product—it was a statement. And the market responded, with the brand crossing ₹100 crore in under nine months of FY25. In this conversation, Aditya Modak shares a journey shaped by patience, timing, and the courage to build when the moment arrives.
