Tanishq Brand

Tanishq (Hindi: तनिष्क़) is a prominent jewellery brand of India. It pioneered the concept of branded jewellery and ornaments in India. It is a division of Titan Industries Limited,[1] a company promoted by the Tata Group, one of India’s largest conglomerates. The name was formed by combining the first two letters from Tata and नष्क “Nishk” (meaning gold coin or necklace inSanskrit), although the क k has been modified into a क़ q.[2] An alternative explanation is from ‘Tan’, meaning body and ‘Ishq’, meaning love[citation needed]. Tanishq’s headquarter is atBengaluru (Bangalore) in Karnataka.[3][4] ————————————————-

Overview[edit source | editbeta]

Sridevi, Brand ambassador of Tanishq at photo shoot for Tanishq in April 2013 Tanishq started in 1994 and challenged the established family jeweller system prevalent in India. They have set up production and sourcing bases with thorough research of the jewellery crafts of India. Their factory located at Hosur, Tamil Nadu (India) spreads over 135,000 sq ft (12,500 m2). Tanishq was launched as a range of jewellery and jewellery watches meant for the European & American markets, but later on shifted focus on Indian markets to tap the domestic opportunity too.

They spread awareness to the public about alleged impurity in Gold .[citation needed] Tanishq introduced innovations like Karatmeter, the only non-destructive means to check the purity of gold and machine made jewellery. In India, Tanishq has country wide presence. In November 2012, Tanishq reached a landmark when it opened its 150th showroom in India[5] Tanishq is one of the major Tata brands with a strong appeal for women. Tanishq brand has recently been promoted inside popular Hindi movies also, like in Race 2.[6] It runs a popular scheme called Golden Harvest for sales promotion and to help buyers plan for large purchases like during weddings.[7]

Jewellery is about purity of gold and stone and settings in exquisite designs. But more than that, it is about emotions, a little secret that Tanishq knows well. And therefore, at Tanishq, jewellery is not a product but a piece of art; and shopping for jewellery is an exalting experience.

Footfalls to Tanishq stores have increased in the recent years. Pull factors have been trust, reliability, designs and the shopping experience. Tanishq stores are quite distinct as the environment is conducive for customers to browse. The manner of display, ambience, salesperson behaviour, the showcasing of new collections, is all designed to encourage the new-age consumer to shop in a friendly environment.

The jewellery spread is a blend of traditional values and modern outlook. The collections though rooted in Indian ideas have a contemporary expression. Of late, Tanishq has taken up special projects. Three years back, the company designed the jewellery for Bollywood movie Paheli. More recently, they spent two years crafting jewellery for historical magnum opus Jodha Akbar. Through its jewellery, Tanishq captured the opulence and glory of the Mughal era. This collection has had an immense customer impact.

Catering to the semi-rural and rural population, is the GoldPlus chain of stores. GoldPlus is strongly positioned to serve the 22-carat gold wedding jewellery market. The jewellery designs at GoldPlus stores are mostly traditional. The décor is understated with an emphasis on regional tastes, making customers feel comfortable.

The big moment for Tanishq will come in August 2008 when the company opens Tanishq stores on US soil — in Chicago and New Jersey. Distinctively targeted at Americans (and not just NRIs) the stores will encourage browsing and will be a new experience for the American jewellery buyer.

“Ethical practices and an unmatched shopping experience are key differentiators, as opposed to other jewellery stores. We broke all rules to make the brand more approachable. We are looking at a growth of 40 per cent and 40 new stores for the two brands,” says CK Venkataraman, COO, Tanishq, Titan Industries. Fact fileThe beginning: Launched in 1995, Tanishq is the jewellery division of Titan Industries. It has established itself as the most desirable and trustworthy jewellery brand in India.
