ROURKELA, APRIL 13, 2026

Jewellery major Senco Gold & Diamonds has strengthened its footprint in eastern India with the grand launch of its first store in Rourkela, strategically timed ahead of Akshaya Tritiya — one of the most auspicious occasions for gold purchases in the country.

The launch event was marked by the presence of acclaimed actress Bhumi Pednekar, alongside Suvankar Sen, MD & CEO of the company, adding glamour and festive fervour to the milestone moment.

With a rich legacy spanning 87 years, Senco’s new 5,000 sq. ft., two-storey outlet aims to redefine jewellery retail in the city. The store showcases an extensive portfolio across gold, diamond, and platinum collections — ranging from traditional heirloom-inspired designs to contemporary statement pieces — catering to evolving consumer preferences.

The expansion underscores Rourkela’s emergence as a promising retail market with strong cultural affinity toward jewellery, particularly during festive and ceremonial occasions. The company emphasized its continued focus on quality craftsmanship, innovative design, and a customer-centric retail experience as it scales its presence nationwide.

Speaking at the launch, Bhumi Pednekar highlighted the emotional connect of jewellery, noting that Senco’s creations reflect authenticity, craftsmanship, and storytelling — qualities that resonate strongly during occasions symbolising prosperity and new beginnings.

Echoing the sentiment, Suvankar Sen stated that the new store aligns with the brand’s vision to bring trusted craftsmanship closer to customers, while also reflecting modern aspirations. Joita Sen, Director and Head of Marketing & Designs, added that eastern India remains central to Senco’s growth strategy, with the Rourkela launch further deepening its regional connect.

As festive demand gathers momentum, the new store is poised to tap into heightened consumer sentiment, offering an elevated and immersive shopping experience tailored to the season of prosperity and celebration.
