Laxmi Diamond penetrates Delhi with Cygnus range
NEW DELHI: With the purchasing power of the average Indian on the rise, luxury good sellers are making a beeline for the country. The latest one is jewellery brand Cygnus which was launched by Laxmi Diamond Group.
The company claims to be the country’s second largest manufacturer and exporter of polished diamonds. Cygnus is a constellation of stars, which takes the shape of a swan. The collection was unveiled by Laxmi Diamond chairman Vasant Bhai Gajera and Miss India Nikita Anand.
An official release informs that the range, consisting of rings, pendants, earrings, bracelets, neckwear, bangles and designer wear, designed to appeal to Indian women, is sure to make a fashion statement.
To mark the launch, Laxmi Diamond Group organised a fashion show Reach out to the Stars which had models Anand, Mehr Basin, Indrani Das Gupta, Ayesha and Sampada displaying the range of jewellery.
Gajera said, ““Cygnus is the culmination of our 30 years experience in the diamond industry. Each piece of the Cygnus range is exquisitely crafted and designed to appeal to the contemporary Indian woman. What would also make this collection irresistible is the great value for money proposition of the brand.”
The release adds that the Cygnus brand of unique and authentically certified jewellery has been crafted in 18 karat gold and uses the finest diamonds, polished in state-of-the-art facilities.
The range, priced between Rs 1,000 and Rs 30, 000 will be originally marketed through lifestyle stores, traditional jewellers and exclusive franchise outlets.
Cygnus claims to offer a range for everyone – from new born babies to brides – and for every occasion. It primarily targets women in the age group of 18-30. The range also offers a variety of gift options that are hard to choose from.
Cygnus CEO Shekhar Wadke said, “We have endeavoured to present to the highly-spirited, energetic women of today a range of fine diamond jewellery that is a blend of style, design and functionality. In other words, it is a range suitable for all and every occasion.”

Info Edge reshuffles senior roles, Ambrish Singh to 99acres, Bhisham Dhingra to lead Shiksha strategy
Leadership changes at Shiksha and 99acres aim to drive sharper growth focus
MUMBAI: Info Edge (India) Limited has approved an internal reorganisation of its education and real estate verticals, setting the stage for leadership changes aimed at sharpening execution and accelerating growth. The move, cleared by the board on April 14 through a circular resolution, will come into effect from May 1, 2026.
The restructuring impacts the company’s Shiksha and 99acres businesses, two key pillars in its portfolio, and involves role changes for senior management personnel. As part of the reshuffle, Ambrish Kumar Singh, previously executive vice president and head of sales and customer delivery for Shiksha, has been redesignated as executive vice president and head of sales and sales enablement at 99acres. A long-time company leader since 2003, Singh is expected to focus on boosting business performance, strengthening client relationships and building high-performing teams in his new role.
Meanwhile, Bhisham Dhingra, who led sales and customer delivery at 99acres, will now take on an expanded mandate as head of sales, strategy and client delivery for Shiksha. With over two decades of experience across global and Indian organisations, Dhingra will spearhead growth strategy, corporate sales and client engagement for the domestic education vertical.
Both executives will continue as senior management personnel, albeit with revised responsibilities aligned to the company’s broader restructuring goals.
Info Edge said the changes are part of ongoing efforts to leverage leadership expertise across business lines and improve operational effectiveness. The company added that the reshuffle is designed to drive stronger outcomes by aligning talent with evolving business priorities.
As Info Edge continues to fine-tune its structure, the latest leadership moves suggest a clear intent to keep its core platforms nimble, competitive and ready for the next phase of growth.
