Platinum Guild International (PGI) has announced key leadership augmentations, naming Vaishali Banerjee as Head of Global Market Development. In addition to this new mandate, Vaishali will continue in her existing role as Managing Director – India & ME — both critical growth hubs for platinum.
Strengthening the leadership team further, Pallavi Sharma has been elevated to Deputy Country Manager – India & ME. With India and the Middle East continuing as priority markets for PGI and its sponsors, this underlines PGI’s commitment to unlocking and optimising platinum’s potential through direct engagement, partnerships and market development initiatives.
Vaishali Banerjee, said, “This is a transformative time for platinum. We are witnessing a shift in global sentiment towards meaningful consumption. Platinum — with its rarity, preciousness, and enduring value — is perfectly poised to accompany this moment. I look forward to further strengthening our presence in India and the UAE while building momentum across key and emerging global markets.”
Pallavi Sharma said, “I’m excited to take on this new role at such a dynamic juncture. Platinum’s narrative is evolving rapidly, and our focus will be on deepening consumer connections and expanding retail partnerships to ensure sustainable category growth across India and the UAE.”
