Gitanjali presents Case Study Competition -Jewellery retail in India
International Scenario: Watches and jewellery are self adornment products which complement each other.
On the international front, watches and jewellery have always been sold from the same outlets under common branding.
For instance, Bucherer is a leading multi brand retailer in Europe that sells watches and jewellery from their stores spread across the globe.
Boutiques dealing in mono brand retail jewellery also market and sell watches from the very same stores. Some examples for such brands are Cartier, Tiffany, Bulgary, Chopare etc.
At the lower end of the brand spectrum too, players like Swatch have watches and jewellery in their product portfolio.
Indian Scenario: The scenario reveals a stark contrast when it comes to the Indian jewellery market. Typically, both these products are treated as separate entities and such branding is not seen prominently. A few exceptions are Meena Jewellers, Hyderabad and Danabhai jewelers, Mumbai. However, mega brands like Titan still prefer to market these products separately (World of Titan and Tanishq).
Objective:
• To study the Indian scenario vis a vis the global context

Welcome to Prayaag'09
Prayaag, as the name suggests, is a confluence of thoughts provided by thought leaders from industry and students from various B-schools. Prayaag brings together professionals and students to discuss and exchange their views and experiences faced by the corporate world.
We at JBIMS welcome you to “Mine Your Fortune” in Prayaag’09. The world of management draws a parallel from the theme which stands for trying your luck and digging your fortune, enriching yourself and then, you’re on the ‘Road to Excel’!

This reflects the very spirit of Prayaag :
A synergy of Vision, Competence and Excellence……….
Get your adrenaline racing by participating in the most exciting events to test your skills
“From the mines of Moria to the siege of Gondor,
A lot, left to ponder, but time there is, less, to sounder.
The mortals will seize, seize they will,
Remain, will the immortals, riding their will.
Dug in the rugs, you got to mine them,
The fortune is yours, you got to mind them.
Manuscripts, codes, or they may be some unspoken verses,
Or may be your precious, made of smelted gold, so fine.
Read between the lines, and decode the hidden phrases,
Come unravel the treasure, in Prayaag 2009.”
” Explore…Enrich…Excel!”
Warm Regards,
Team Prayaag
