Tanishq of Titan Industries Ltd will invest Rs 150-200 Crores (about 35 million USD) in setting up fifteen gold jewelery retail showrooms in India by March 2012. CK Venkataraman, COO, Jewelery Division, Titan Industries Ltd, says that the area of these gold jewelery showrooms will range from 3,000 sq-ft to 20,000 sq-ft with few having an area of more than 8,000 sq-ft each. The largest will be a 20,000 sq-ft gold jewelery showroom in Mumbai, he asserts.
The new gold jewelery showrooms will be equipped with unique facilities enabling customers to know what they are investing in and serving as a platform to build customer trust further in the Tanishq brand. The new Chennai based showroom, for instance, offers the Karat-meter, a device to measure the purity of gold jewelery bought by customers.
Tanishq that launched 18K gold jewelery in India in 1995, advertising it as an 'international standard,' is India's leading brand today. Success came to it after Tanishq started offering hallmarked 22K gold jewelery to the Indian women.
