About the Bharat Ki Beti Award 2026
The Bharat Ki Beti Award is presented annually by Media World News. It recognises women across Maharashtra who have shown extraordinary achievement. Fields include entrepreneurship, social service, education, health, culture, and sports.
The 2026 ceremony was held on Mother’s Day. This choice was deliberate. It sent a clear message — the women being honoured are not only leaders.

Her presence added great prestige to the event.
Gold Mart Jewellers — 25 Years of Trust in Pune
Twenty-five years ago, Smt. Sangeeta Lalwani started Gold Mart Jewellers at Sadhu Vaswani Square, near Pune Railway Station. Her belief was simple — every woman deserves to be adorned with trust, purity, and beauty.
Today, Gold Mart Jewellers is Pune’s first BIS-hallmarked jewellery showroom. The store offers certified 18KT, 22KT, and 24KT gold, diamond, and silver jewellery. Additionally, it provides gold exchange, gold loan, and the Gold Bhishi savings scheme. Every piece carries BIS, Karatometer, and IGI certification.
For 25 years, Pune’s families have chosen Gold Mart for engagements, weddings, festivals, and milestones. They leave not just with jewellery — but with confidence.
Leadership at Gold Mart and Beyond
Smt. Lalwani’s impact goes far beyond the showroom. As Past President of the JITO Ladies Wing, Pune, she has actively supported women’s entrepreneurship and education across Maharashtra.
Her leadership combines sharp business thinking with genuine care for people. She has mentored many women entrepreneurs through JITO. Furthermore, she has led her Gold Mart team with clarity and purpose. As a result, the brand has grown from strength to strength over the past two decades.
Why Mother’s Day Made This Award Even More Special
Mother’s Day is about recognising the strength that women carry every day. Therefore, receiving the Bharat Ki Beti Award on this occasion felt deeply meaningful.
Smt. Lalwani has balanced family, business, and community for 25 years. She has done so with remarkable grace. The award acknowledged not only her professional success. It honoured the whole person — the leader, the mentor, and the woman.
For every woman in the audience that day, the message was powerful — your contribution matters, and your leadership is seen.
In Her Own Words
“This honour is a reflection of the trust our customers have placed in us over 25 years. I dedicate this award to every woman entrepreneur in Pune who is building something meaningful, every single day.”
“This recognition belongs to every woman who dares to lead, build, and inspire.”
— Smt. Sangeeta Lalwani, Managing Director, Gold Mart Jewellers, Pune
A Proud Moment for Every Customer and Well-Wisher
This award does not belong to one person alone. It belongs to every customer and well-wisher who has been part of the Gold Mart journey. Every family that chose Gold Mart for their daughter’s first gold set, their wedding jewellery, or their festival purchase — this recognition is theirs too.
Moreover, this moment reflects what Gold Mart Jewellers stands for — trust, purity, and a commitment to excellence that never wavers.
