About Us

OUR STORY

The origin of Govind Dande & Sons dates back to 1927 in Amravati, when Shri. Jaikrishna Dande laid the groundwork for a dream that changed the landscape of the jewellery business. In 1935, his son Shri Govind Jaikrishna Dande brought the business to Nashik. This lineage also continued after his demise, as his sons Shri Suhas Dande, Shri Sunil Dande, Shri Anil Dande and Shri Dhananjay Dande very efficiently took over the responsibilities. Govind Dande & Sons is one of the most “PREMIUM” brands in Nashik and North Maharashtra.
