Deep dives
The Rise of Tanishk
Tanishk, Titan's jewelry business, has become a major contributor to the company's revenue, accounting for roughly 80% of its total. Through customer-centric approaches like introducing carrot meters and allowing gold swaps, Tanishk transformed from a loss-making entity to a profitable and trusted jeweler in India, experiencing significant revenue growth from 700 crores in FY 2001 to 16,700 crores today.
Challenges and Recovery
While Tanishk thrived, Titan's other divisions faced challenges. The watch business, once dominant, now contributes only 13% to the company's revenue, and the eyewear division, despite impressive growth, struggles to generate substantial profits. The COVID-19 pandemic affected these divisions further, with store closures impacting sales. However, Tanishk's nimble adaptation, including video consultations and online purchases, led to a recovery, with the jewelry business growing by 15% in Q3 2020. Despite varied performance, Titan remains a significant player in the market.
