INTRODUCTION
Tanishq is India’s largest, most desirable and fastest growing jewellery
brand in India. Started in 1995, Tanishq is the jewellery business group of Titan
Industry Limited. Promoted by the Tata group. India’s most respected and widely
diversified business conglomerate.
This year marks a decade of successful innings for Tanishq. With a retail
sales of 1200 crores last year and gunning for 2000 crores this year, Tanishq has
arrived in the Indian jewelry market. It is a story of a successful Indian enterprise,
which has delivered value to its customers and shareholders in a complex
category, marked by its completely localized front end as well as back end.
Tanishq has set up production and sourcing bases with through research
of the jewelry crafts of India. Jewelry at Tanishq is crafted in one of the world’s
most modern factories. The factory complies with all labour and environmental
standards. Located at Hosur, Tamil Nadu, the 1,35,000 sq. ft. factory is equipped
with the latest and most modern machinery and equipment. Every product at
Tanishq is painstakingly
crafted to perfection.
Diligent care and quality
processes ensure that the
Tanishq finish is
unmatched by any other
jeweller in the country.
Tanishq
challenged the age-old
jeweller’s word with TATA's guaranteed purity. It exploded the market with facts
about rampant impurity across India. It introduced technology backed challenge
in a category completely governed by individual trust. Tanishq introduced
innovations like Karat-meter, the only destructive means to check the purity of
gold.
Tanishq also introduced professional retailing in the disorganized
Indian jewellery bazaar, where women can shop with comfort and peace, without
worrying about the purity of the jewelry they are buying as well as select from
the best jewelry collections available in the Indian market.
07
Tanishq today is India’s most aspirational fine jewelry brand with 91
stores in 64 cities, with an exquisite range of gold jewelry studded with diamonds
or coloured gems and a wide range of equally spectacular jewelry in 22kt pure
gold. Exquisite platinum jewelry is also part of the product range.
Jewellery is one of the last great commodity frontiers in India, it has
remained so because this market is very fragmented, very unorganized. Tanishq
has successfully taken on the challenge of transforming this frontier into a
reliable consumer space by bringing to it all the virtues and benefits that branding
offers.
- Harish Bhat , CEO , Tanishq.
In a market that has traditionally been dominated by family jeweller’s, it
took the entry of Tanishq. India’s largest, most desirable and fastest growing
jeweller brand from the house of Titan in 1995, to give Indians access to a
product whose promise
was truly as good as
gold.
Tanishq's
appeal lies in the
wealth of its designs
and purity of gold. It
has won the trust
and admiration of
customers and
created a unique
position for itself in
the marketplace.
The association with Bollywood blockbusters likes “Paheli” and “Jodha
Akbar” and the 2003 Miss India beauty pagent have enhanced the brand’s appeal,
lending it an aura of elegance and grandeur. Tanishq stands out as a brand that
abides by values of trust worthiness, credibility and respect. The power of Brand
was further enhanced with the introduction of karat-meters a tool that helped
customers gauge the quality of their gold in every Tanishq outlet.
By introducing revolutionary, innovative designs in a market that
worships tradition, the brand created its own tradition of retail success. Yet
Tanishq is more than just a jewellery retailer. It stands for reassurances of quality
and ethics.

Another consumer loyalty programme that has been initiated by Tanishq
is called the Golden Harvest Saving Scheme, which offer buyers the benefit of
getting more jewellery than what they have paid for. The scheme allows
consumers to plan future purchases in advance and pay for them in easy
instalments. Consumers can choose from two plans a 12 month annual plan and an
18 month extended plan (the monthly installment can be for any amount upwards
of Rs 500). Tanishq contributes 60% of the last monthly instalment in the annual
plan and 130% of the last monthly instalment in the extended plan, both of which
are part of the final price that the consumer pays for the product.
BRAND VALUES
In sync with the Tata brand values, Tanishq is synonymous with trust and
purity in a category that is fraught with questionable practices.
Being a member of the Tata family has meant that it can leverage the
group's well earned reputation for ethics and values in a business where such
attributes are critical to win the trust of consumers. Tanishq consumers can afford
to take issues such as purity for granted, and they know they can depend upon the
brand to deliver quality product’s all the time. The brands winning virtues in
design and overall quality have shaped a class of discerning buyers who seek the
best in jewellery products.
Leadership and innovation are two of the other brand features that
Tanishq is consistently identified with. These values have helped the brand bond
with its consumers like no other Indian jewellery retailer.
BRAND AUDIT
A brand audit is effectively a health check of the brand to identify and
address problems areas with a net result of helping you turn things around and
grow your bottom line. Brands are like living entities with life cycles. They start
with much excitement and promise, grow and then eventually plateau. It’s at this
mature stage of evolvement when they potentially start to lose relevance as
customers move on to the latest hot new thing. A brand audit health check helps
you monitor this cycle so you keep your brand fresh and relevant and know when
to reinvigorate or revitalize before sales start to slip. A brand audit also enables
you to identify new areas for innovation and growth.

precious stones into
breathtaking masterpieces, each
unique and splendid in design.

Tanishq you will be spoilt for
choice from many collections
we have to offer.
TANISHQ GOLD :
From the traditional
harams, mangalsutras and
thali to the more fashionable
earrings, chains bracelets and
rings, there is a lot to choose
from at Tanishq.
In India Gold has always
been associated with security
and is the most valuable form
of investment. However, it
has been observed that
consumer is an easy target to
several malpractices like under karat age, under valuation of the gold sold and unfair
buy back policies due to the lack of awareness about these issues. Tanishq propagates
ethical practices not only by assuring the customer purity and selling policies, but also
fair policies to the ‘karigar’ who craft the jewelry.
16
Tanishq's designs in pure 22k gold are not only unique, expressing the wearers
individuality but each piece is subject to the intricate process of design, crafting and
stone setting with stringent quality standards at every point. At Tanishq, we cater to
every occasion. Our collections in gold abound from the grandiose wedding collection to
exotic ‘kundan’ and ‘polki’, from the stunning ‘Aarka’ collections to the exclusive
‘Nakashi’ work. We ensure that we have something for everyone with our baby range, 9
to 5 for the working woman and high fashion, mens wear, teens collection and regional
specific designs.
TANISHQ PLATINUM :
Metal at its best and pure.
Platinum's purity endows it with a brilliant white luster. This helps to reflect the
true radiance of diamonds. Because it is generally 95% pure (18 karat gold is 75% pure)
, platinum jewellery does not fade or tarnish and keeps it’s looks for a lifetime.
RARE
Platinum is rare, the coveted treasure of
discerning individuals. There is very little platinum on
this earth and it is found in very few places around the
world. This exquisite metal is 30 times rares than gold.
Platinum’s rarity makes it exclusive and distinctive – a
celebration of your individuality.
ETERNAL Platinum jewellery is the perfect
choice for a lifetime of everyday wear. Platinum does not wear away and holds
precious stones firmly and securely. All precious metals can scratch, and platinum is no
exception. However, the scratch on a platinum piece is merely a displacement of the
metal and none of its volume is lost Some of the world’s most famous gems are set in
platinum, such as the Kohinoor diamond, part of the british crown jewels. Platinum and
white Gold are distinctly different materials and must not be confused. Platinum is a
metallic element while White Gold alloy, which gets its White Colour due to palladium
or nickel.
Tanishq's platinum represents excellent value for money. The price may be
higher than a similar item in gold but platinum is pure, rare, enduring, beautiful,
luxurious, classic, and the perfect host for diamonds; previous qualities that make it
worth paying that little bit extra for.

pears, and specially cut colored crystals. Each crown weights about 450 GM‟s and
has a special spring mechanism designed to fit perfectly on any size or shape of head.
The inspiration behind each crown is distinct and personifies the
spirit of the title.
Miss World: The natural essence of this piece is enhanced by the wave like
undulating shape on the base of the crown, sitting snugly on the forehead of the
wearer. And of course the vivid rectangular blue stone that expresses the teeka of
victory, and sets off the batting hues of the sea on the rest of the crown.

Exchange Policy in Tanisha
Most jewelers exchange jewellery returned to them at the purchase price hence any appreciation in the value of gold and
diamonds are not accounted for.
Purity Checks
Purity checks allow lovers of the yellow metal to test the purity of the
gold they already own. Playing a significant role in this is the karat
meter, which is the most scientific measure of purity in the
world. It uses X- rays to give an exact reading of the purity of
gold in just three minutes, giving the consumer an unmatched
benefit when buying or selling gold. It is in fact the most
scientifically proven, non- destructive means of testing the
purity of gold. Due to its excellent precision, X- ray analysis
has been adopted by international agencies as well as by BIS in
India as part of the certificate process used to Hallmark Gold.
