Divine Solitaires joins hands with actress Vaani Kapoor
Mumbai: Divine Solitaires, a leading diamond solitaire jewellery brand, is all set to add some spark to the lean month of August and usher in the upcoming festive and wedding season. It is all set to bring back India’s biggest diamond solitaire promotion with The Solitaire Festival of India (TSFI) for the third consecutive year in 2024— this time with actress Vaani Kapoor as the brand ambassador!
Known for her roles in blockbuster films such as War, Shuddh Desi Romance and Befikre, this year, the event is set to be a grander success with the presence of actress Vaani Kapoor. Vaani brings a dash of star magic and an impressive Instagram following of 8 million, mostly comprising India’s empowered youth, who will make this campaign the talk of the town this year.
This annual event will run from August 1-31 at over 200 partner jeweller stores and on https://shop.divinesolitaires.com and will feature the solitaire collections of some of India’s finest diamantaires. Throughout the month, customers from different states across India can browse through and indulge in stunning collections of solitaire jewellery pieces in their respective cities as well as online.
The festival offers a unique incentive for valued customers to receive assured gifts with every purchase of diamond solitaire jewellery. Each purchase includes coupons for weekly lucky draws scheduled for 11, 17 and 24 August, featuring exciting prizes ranging from iPhones to Alto cars. The grand finale of the festival will have a bumper draw on September 4, where one lucky winner will drive home in a luxurious XUV 700, and other winners will take home additional prizes.
“The festive and wedding season is just around the corner and for our partners and customers, there is no better time than August and no better opportunity than TSFI to invest in diamond solitaire jewellery. Our customers will not only have the opportunity to see, feel and purchase the best quality diamond solitaires with 8 hearts and arrows each but also have the chance to win some fantastic prizes!” said Divine Solitaires founder Jignesh Mehta.
The 2nd edition of TSFI in 2023 was a huge success closing with a staggering 600 per cent increase in footfall over the previous year. This year, partner jewellers like Senco Gold, Ranka Jewellers, and Reliance Retail to name a few, are set to break that record attracting customers from across India.
To spread the word about the TFSI 2024 campaign, Divine Solitaires will drive a series of nationwide marketing initiatives in over 100 cities. These will comprise targeted outreach through regional newspaper advertisements, impactful radio campaigns and cinema ads playing across theatres nationwide for seven days.
To add an interactive dimension, Divine Solitaires will host a Facebook and Instagram live draw event on 11 August, engaging audiences nationwide and bringing the thrill of the draw directly to their screens. This initiative aims to foster community spirit and participation, enriching the festival experience for all. With a steadfast commitment to boosting footfall and engagement, the festival promises to be a resounding success, delighting customers and jewellers alike. Join us in this grand celebration and witness the enchantment of Divine Solitaires.

PwC India announces leadership change in Deals practice
Shashank Jain steps down as co-leader after nearly three decades with the firm.
MUMBAI: When one dealmaker steps off the pitch, another is ready to take the baton because in the fast-moving world of transactions, the game never really stops. PwC India has announced a leadership transition in its Deals practice, with Shashank Jain stepping down from his role as co-leader to pursue an opportunity in the industry. The practice will continue to be led by Mohit Chopra, ensuring continuity and sustained growth momentum.
PwC India partner and leader for advisory dinesh Arora paid tribute to Jain’s contributions. “We deeply appreciate the significant contributions made by Shashank over close to three decades he has spent with PwC, particularly his defining role in shaping and strengthening our Transaction Services practice in India,” he said. Arora highlighted Jain’s support for clients through some of the most complex and significant transactions in the Indian market, noting his deep technical expertise, sound judgment and nuanced understanding of the evolving M&A landscape.
The Deals practice remains a key growth driver for PwC India, and the firm expects continued expansion under Mohit Chopra’s leadership. He will continue to guide clients through complex transactions and transformational business moments, building on the strong foundation established over the years.
Reflecting on his journey, Shashank Jain said, “I have had an exceptional journey at PwC. I owe my growth and learning to the nurturing environment and leadership development that PwC provided.” He added that he had been working closely with Mohit and the larger team to ensure a smooth transition and expressed confidence that Chopra would take the Deals practice to newer heights.
From intern to respected deals leader, Shashank Jain has clearly closed many successful transactions and now, it seems, he’s ready to strike a new deal of his own.
