...Tanishq – The Turnaround Story "When we started out we didn't think that we could achieve this, but now being jewellers to the nation doesn't seem so distant." - Tanishq COO, Vasant Nangia, in March 2000. The Unsuccessful Launch In 1995, Titan Industries, India's leading manufacturer of watches, launched the Tanishq range of gold watches and jewellery. Till then, the Indian jewellery market was to a large extent unorganized, with a few recognized names such as Tribhovandas Bhimji Jhaveri and Mehrason's. Tanishq, an entirely new concept in the Indian market, thus had to struggle hard to be accepted by the customers. Industry watchers were extremely skeptical of Tanishq and doubts were being cast over its prospects. Tanishq began by offering jewellery in the 18-carat gold range, with designs borrowed heavily from contemporary European brands. The company justified its decision saying that it wanted to be 'different' from the traditional Indian offerings. Tanishq performed very badly in the next three years, posting a huge loss in 1997-98, proving its detractors right. Jacob Kurian, Tanishq's chief operating officer admitted, "Tanishq, as a concept, was far too ahead of its times." Even if one agreed with Kurian, it could not be denied that Tanishq did commit mistakes. Analysts decreed that the company's strategies were wary. At this point, Tanishq took various steps to correct the mistakes it had committed and very soon, posted its first ever operating profit in 1999. In...

...TANISHQ: A SPARKLING JOURNEY The Tanishq saga began in the early 1990’s, primarily fuelled by the fabled Tata entrepreneurial spirit and partly forced by circumstance. The splendid Titan watches success story was already up and running, and happened to need more foreign exchange to purchase the imported components and machines required to keep up with the burgeoning watch production. But with India going through a foreign exchange crisis, there was no help coming in, forcing Titan to search for a business that would earn them the required foreign currency. The first precision engineered watch, Tanishq created with 103 diamonds and pure 18 carat gold. Indian-made jewellery was already a big foreign currency earner and being strongly supported by the central government, and also happened to be a very good fit with the watch business as articles of adornment.The best known brand names in both Europe and America had watches and jewellery together, offering further proof that the two industries are intrinsically linked. It was a business with a huge wealth potential and it added a very feminine offering to Tata’s long line of products that appealed mostly to the opposite gender. It also called for an organization that inspired trust and had high order design, manufacturing, marketing and retailing skills, and Tata fit the bill on all accounts. A revolution in Gold Purity Standards across the country. Tanishq was coined from a combination of Tata/Tamil Nadu and Nishq...

...Que 1. Your company is considering whether it should tender for two contracts (MS1 and MS2) on offer from a government department for the supply of certain components. The company has three options: tender for MS1 only; or tender for MS2 only; or tender for both MS1 and MS2. If tenders are to be submitted the company will incur additional costs. These costs will have to be entirely recouped from the contract price. The risk, of course, is that if a tender is unsuccessful the company will have made a loss. The cost of tendering for contract MS1 only is £50,000. The component supply cost if the tender is successful would be £18,000. The cost of tendering for contract MS2 only is £14,000. The component supply cost if the tender is successful would be £12,000. The cost of tendering for both contract MS1 and contract MS2 is £55,000. The component supply cost if the tender is successful would be £24,000. For each contract, possible tender prices have been determined. In addition, subjective assessments have been made of the probability of getting the contract with a particular tender price as shown below. Note here that the company can only submit one tender and cannot, for example, submit two tenders (at different prices) for the same contract.

It is like a homework task that a good advertising/marketing/sales person would always carry out before (and after) implementing the said product's advertising/marketing strategy. By collecting data with the help of research methods, the researcher can manage to understand the consumer, what he wants, when he wants it, and how he wants it. Research methodologies, more or less, aim to reveal consumers’ different perceptions of the product, in large part about the way it is advertised. The researcher wants to know how effective the advertisement is on his listeners, where the strategy falls short, and where it can improve. Ultimately, it can be said that the most important task of advertising/marketing research is to increase the sales of the product. This requires a well developed...

...CASE STUDY SUMMARY. Name of Organization: Tanishq Market Segmentation is a term of Marketing theory which simply implies grouping or aggregation of the entire consumer base consisting of existing and potential buyers into groups. Segments of unique sub groups of people with common tastes and preferences within a larger customer population is identified. This aggregation is done on the basis of some defined criteria. By doing so a company can develop different products that would cater to different needs of different consumers in a better manner. Company can target different categories of consumers who perceive a particular product offering differently from other groups within the categorised market by fine tuning the products to meet the needs of the differentiated consumers. Not only can the company provide more value, it also benefits by having a better understanding about the minds of different consumers and accordingly can design and develop promotional campaigns that would be tailored to match the preferences of the different consumers, thus having a greater impact. A well planned marketing strategy would undoubtedly aim at identifying the needs of the consumers before the competition can and satisfying them better that the competition but it is not possible to satisfy all customers by treating them alike hence segmentation becomes necessary. It is essential to learn each segments commonalities demands and attributes. What makes them different from the other target consumers...

Tanishq’s designs were not for Indian women. It position itself as international brand for Indian elite market. However they later on started targeting the mass marketing since 1997.
