TANISHQ PROFILE

Evolution of Tanishq
Titan came into existence in July 1984, when the Tata Group
joined hands with the Tamil Nadu Industrial Development
Corporation (TIDCO) to make a foray into the watch industry.
Titan started manufacturing jewellery watches and jewellery in
1994. It set up its fully integrated Rs. 400 million-jewellery
plant in Hosur. The plant had the capacity to manufacture four
tonnes of gold in a year. Titan launched these products under
the brand name of Tanishq, in 1995. The name Tanishq, a
blend of two words, 'tan' (body) and 'ishq' (love), was coined
by Xerxes Desai, the Vice-Chairman and Managing Director of
Titan.
To change its image from a watch manufacturer to a fashion
accessories manufacturer, Titan was renamed Titan Industries
Ltd. in 1995. Titan scaled the capacity of its Hosur plant to 4.18
Marketing Research GIDC ROFEL Business School
Page 10
Buying behaviour of Gold

million units in 1996 to meet the domestic and international


demand. From the late 1990s, Titan's commitment to the
jewellery business increased.
When Titan launched Tanishq in 1995, the jewellery industry in
India valued at Rs 40,000 crore was mostly unorganized, with
around 3.5 lakh players. Before 1992, only the Metal and
Mineral Trading Corporation and the State Bank of India were
allowed to import gold. In 1992, as part of economic
liberalization, the government abolished the Gold Control Act of
1962, allowing free import of gold. In 1993, private
companies were allowed to enter the hitherto restricted
gold and diamond mining industry. Foreign investors were
allowed to hold up to 50% equity in mining ventures.

STRENGTH OPPORTUNITIES
• Purity (karat meter) • Global markets
• Distribution network and • Low cost jewellery
retailing store • Customized jewellery
• Award winning designs designs
• Diversity in jewellery • Concentrate on Gen-X by
gold/diamond/platinum having trendy jewellery
• Competitive prices • Expand retail stores

WEAKNESS THREATS
• Capture Rs 70,000-crore • Competition
• Escalated gold costs lower • Lack of Skilled workers
margins • Gold not seen as s source
of investment. (Luxury is
needed).

SWOT ANALYSIS

Marketing Research GIDC ROFEL Business School


Page 13
Buying behaviour of Gold

Purity of jwellrey through karat meter is still the sign of total


purity.
Distribution network and retailing store are in place for the
company with
130 stores countrywide. Mind boggling/award winning designs
have come
for the company. Diversity in jewellery gold/diamond/platinum
enhances
the product range of the company. We also have competitive
prices for
the entire product ranges as compared to the competitors.

Weaknesses
Capture Rs 70,000-crore Indian jewellery market. Tanishq
comprises a
small share of the overall Rs 70,000-crore Indian jewellery
market and
hence it needs to increase its market share in this huge
industry. Escalated
gold costs has caused lower margins is to push sales as much
as possible.

Opportunities
Global markets like USA needs to be looked at. Low cost and
easy to
wear jewellery should be further promoted. Customized
jewellery designs
should provided to the customers. Concentrate on Gen-X by
having
trendy jewellery. Expand retail stores in India to further
increase reach.
Marketing Research GIDC ROFEL Business School
Page 14
Buying behaviour of Gold

Threats
Competition from local jewellers all over India. Lack of Skilled
workers
in jewellery industry. Gold is no longer seen as source of
investment.
People are more concerned about design and luxury.

Buying behaviour of Gold

PROBLEM

To find out problem is the first stage of the research process. It


represents translating the management problem into research
problem. It is right said, “A problem well defined is half –
solved.”

Tanishq is one of the store who provides branded gold & have
brand name.

Inspite of product quality , services tanishq provides why do


still prefer buying gold from local retailers.

OBJECTIVES

The objectives of the study are as follows:


1) The objective of study was to find the actual reason why people are
not going to Tanishq

2) To find what they like & dislike about Tanishq.

3) On the basis of in depth interview we got 6 criteria in which we


could measure the attitude of people towards Tanishq.

Marketing Research GIDC ROFEL Business School


Page 20
Buying behaviour of Gold

Limitations

 The survey was conducted within the limited time


frame; so few shortcoming may be expected.

 The respondent’s personal bias may be another


factor, which is uncontrollable.

Marketing Research GIDC ROFEL Business School


Page 21
Buying behaviour of Gold

 The finding of the survey is strictly based on the


responses of the respondents. It is difficult to find the
euthenics be true, so we are assuming them to be true.

 It was very difficult to explain the respondents about


how to fill the questionnaire & it took time for data
collection.

Hypothesis
a) Price doesnot affect the buying of gold.
b) Quality of gold does not effect the buying of gold
c) Service does not effect the buying of gold
d) Pattern does not effect buying of gold
e) Location of store does not effect buying behavior of
gold.
f) Ambiance of store effect buying behavior of gold.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Research Tools:

The research tool used for this research is


PRIMARY DATA

In primary data the following research design


is being followed:

Marketing Research GIDC ROFEL Business School


Page 27
Buying behaviour of Gold

i) Exploratory Research:

Questionnaire Survey (Sample Size –


150)

ii) Descriptive Research:

On the basis of the questionnaire


survey, the analysis is done in order to
find out the reason why people are not
visiting Tanishq

We have used 2 types of reaserch design they are

a) Exploratory research

b) Descriptive research

Exploratary research because we were not knowing the actual


problem faced by tanishq. So for that we did an Indepth
interview of 3 person to find what are the major findings &
difficulties are faced by them.

We did Interview of

Marketing Research GIDC ROFEL Business School


Page 28
Buying behaviour of Gold

a) Mr Bhaskar who is the senior sales manger of tanishq of


south Gujarat region.

In the interview we asked him diifrent question regarding the


sales & their way of operation & different aspects about tanishq

From the answers given by Mr Bhaskar we found that major


reason why people are not turning out towards Tanishq is
because of Price a bit higher & pattern availability in tanishq .
he also told us the major reason why people are coming to
tanishq is the quality of gold & services provided by them. He
also said that people who loves the ambiance of store may
affect the buying decision.

Then we interviewed Mr Azad the owner of Payal jwellers of


vapi town & we asked him the same questions what we asked
Mr. Bhaskar.

We found that

a) Major people who buy gold from there are their regular
customers from long time

b) The people have trust on the purity of gold

c) He also said that people are having bad experience of


going to tanishq as the price of gold is more than what
they are paying to normal retailers.

d) He also said that people of vapi are more price councius


& not quality concius.

e) He also said that patterns which are available with them


are the same or much more compared to tanishq
people.

From the detailed interview of these 2 people we thaught that


major reasons which can effect the purchase decision of people
buying gold are

Marketing Research GIDC ROFEL Business School


Page 29
Buying behaviour of Gold

1) Price

2) Quality

3) Service

4) Availability of pattern

5) Proximity to market

6) Ambiance of store

The hypothesis of these question is that the price does not


effect the buying behavior of consumer that is Ho.

So from the calculation we got the value of H0 as 59.8149

Marketing Research GIDC ROFEL Business School


Page 38
Buying behaviour of Gold

So when compared to tabulated value of the number that is (r-


1)*(c-1) gives us the tabulated value so for my question (5-
1)*(5-1) = 16 is the degree of freedom.

The value for the 16 is 26.3

So Ho>H1 so hypothesis is rejected.

So from the calculation we got the value of H0 206.4282

So when compared to tabulated value of the number that is (r-


1)*(c-1) gives us the tabulated value so for my question (5-
1)*(5-1) = 16 is the degree of freedom.

The value for the 16 is 26.3

So Ho>H1 so hypothesis is rejected.

So it has been analyzed that Tanishq has good variety of


pattern.

5) Proximity does not affect buying of gold.

FINDINGS

Marketing Research GIDC ROFEL Business School


Page 54
Buying behaviour of Gold

On the basis of chi-square test the relation between the


variables are significant & few are not significant.

Variables which were significant in the research & which affects


the buying behavior of gold are

a) Because of price people are not visiting Tanishq.


b) People are happy with the quality of Tanishq & they go

to Tanishq only because the purity & quality of gold.


c) The people also visit Tanishq because they provide
better services then the other retailers.
d) The pattern are also major factor because of which
people does not prefer Tanishq.
e) The people says that the location of store is not
affecting them to visit Tanishq.
f) People are not affected by the ambiance of store

From these we can conclude that people are more sencisitve


towards price , Quality & availability of pattern. If they find
these 3 things ok & they fill that this is what they wanted they
will buy from there only.

For people of vapi ambiance , proximity to market & service are


less important.

Buying behaviour of Gold

Conclusion

People are more price conscious & they feel that the price in
Tanishq are more than what the normal retailers have. They
also feel that the quality they get is much higher than the
quality what the normal retailers give. They also found that the
patterns available are lesser than what they get in the normal
retail store. They also are service oriented so they are more
attracted because of service they get. People are not affected
with the ambiance of the shop.

Recommendation

We would recommend Tanishq following things

a) The making charge is affecting their sales so they

should cut down their prices.


b) The patterns are comparative less so they should
provide more number of patterns & also should increase
their market share by bringing more innovative scheme
& loyalty programs.

c) People are more service conscious so they can target

young business man & young professional as they are


now more in investing money in gold.
d) Gold price are increasing day by day so they should
increase their sales by selling biscuits of gold rather
than selling more of ornaments.
