Tanishq has not only revolutionized the way Indian women buy jewellery, it has also brought in a set of standards and ethical norms into the jewellery trade.

Tanishq is not an iconic brand marking big national social and economic transitions like Big Bazaar or Infosys. But it is a very noteworthy brand because it is one of the few Indian examples of valuable businesses built on the foundation of a “brand platform”; and because it has accomplished the herculean task of building trust for a high value item like jewellery, which is loaded with all kinds of cultural meaning, and prying loose the dominating grip of the traditional jeweler with great customer relationships spanning generations of a family. It is an example of how one brand with grit can reprogramme how customers have thought and bought for ages. It is also the only national jewellery retail chain in a country where so much jewellery is bought, worn and gifted by all sections of society.

The Tanishq brand has been built slowly over time, with great amounts of perseverance and that’s why it is built to last. Its reputation for quality and trust has deep roots now and it has added aesthetic and design dimensions to its perceived core values. Tanishq is a very valuable brand, way beyond what its discounted cash flows based valuations will reveal because it is a springboard which enables it to evolve into many interesting variants and specialities such as a Tiffany, or high-end costume jewellery or the high-end gifting business.
