Gitanjali Group has joined hands with the Siddhivinayak Trust to launch the Gitanjali Jewellery Vending Machine at the Shree Siddhivinayak temple in Mumbai. This is the second vending machine installed by the company in the city. The collaboration with Siddhivinayak Trust introduces a unique and convenient retail format for worshippers, said Mr Mehul Choksi, CMD, Gitanjali Group. The GJVM vends gold and diamond jewellery besides gold and silver coins. It stores 400 products and 18 different designs when fully stocked up.
The jewellery design and price are displayed on a touch screen which a customer can browse through various options and select the product they wish to buy. After selection, the customer can decide to pay by cash, card or net banking options. Once full payment is made, the machine automatically dispenses the chosen product along with certificate of authenticity and receipt for the same.
