A RESEARCH REPORT ON TANISQ
“ Buying behaviour of gold with regards
to Tanisq ”
INTRODUCTION
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 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.

SWOT ANALYSIS
STRENGTH OPPORTUNITIES
Purity (karat meter) Global markets
Distribution network and retailing Low cost jewellery
store Customized jewellery designs
Award winning designs Concentrate on Gen-X by having
Diversity in jewellery trendy jewellery
gold/diamond/platinum Expand retail stores
Competitive prices
WEAKNESS THREATS
Capture Rs 70,000-crore Competition
Escalated gold costs lower margins Lack of Skilled workers
Gold not seen as s source of
investment. (Luxury is needed).
STRENGTH
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.
WEAKNESS
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.
2
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.
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.

bangalore towards gold.

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:
•The objective of study was to find the actual reason why people are not going to
Tanishq
•To find what they like & dislike about Tanishq.
•On the basis of in depth interview we got 6 criteria in which we could measure the
attitude of people towards Tanishq.
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.
•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
•Price does not affect the buying of gold.
•Quality of gold does not effect the buying of gold
•Service does not effect the buying of gold
•Pattern does not effect buying of gold
•Location of store does not effect buying behavior of gold.
•Ambiance of store effect buying behavior of gold. 4

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Research Tools:
The research tool used for this research is
PRIMARY DATA
In primary data the following research design is being followed:
1. Exploratory Research:
Questionnaire Survey (Sample Size – 150)
2. 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
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
•Mr Bhaskar who is the senior sales manger of tanishq of south Bangalore 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 bangalore 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 6
price of gold is more than what they are paying to normal retailers.
d) He also said that people of Bangalore 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 thought that major reasons which
can effect the purchase decision of people buying gold are
•Price
•Quality
•Service
•Availability of pattern
•Proximity to market
•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
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.

FINDINGS
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
•Because of price people are not visiting Tanishq.
•People are happy with the quality of Tanishq & they go to Tanishq only because the
purity & quality of gold.
•The people also visit Tanishq because they provide better services then the other
retailers.
•The pattern are also major factor because of which people does not prefer Tanishq.
•The people says that the location of store is not affecting them to visit Tanishq.
•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 Bangalore ambiance , proximity to market & service are less
important.
19
Recommendation
&
Conclusion
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.
