From Struggles to Success: How Tanishq Became India's Leading Jewelry Brand

How Tanishq, Titan's flagship jewelry company, became a leading jewelry brand in India despite struggling in its initial years. Initially, Tanishq faced challenges due to selling only 18 karat gold jewelry, which was not preferred by Indian customers who preferred 22 karat gold. Additionally, people trusted local jewelers more than brands when it came to buying jewelry. To address these challenges, Tanishq introduced 22 karat jewelry and a gold purity testing device called Parameter in all their stores, which helped increase customer trust. Tanishq also introduced the "Impure to Pure Skin" scheme, where customers could exchange their old jewelry for 22 karat gold jewelry by paying only the making charges. This scheme helped Tanishq gain a lifelong customer base and increase sales. Today, Tanishq has a 3.2% market share and is ranked 22nd in the list of hundred Global Powers of Luxury Goods.
