Rgds stands for Regards, an email and office abbreviation.

Example: Received with thanks, I will revert by tomorrow with comments. Rgds, Arjun

Usage notes

Also written "Rgds." with a period, or combined as "Best rgds" and "Warm rgds." Some recipients read abbreviated closings as signs of haste, so first contacts usually get "Regards" or "Best regards" in full. "Revert" in the sense of "reply," as in the example, is itself a regional usage common in Indian English.
