This document appears to be a project report submitted by students for their P.G.D.M. program. It includes sections on Tanishq's profile, research objectives, methodology, findings and conclusions regarding buying behavior of gold with regards to Tanishq. The objectives were to understand why people don't visit Tanishq and their likes/dislikes of Tanishq. Exploratory interviews found key factors like price, quality, service, designs and store ambiance influence gold purchases. A survey of 121 people who visited Tanishq found most have an annual income between Rs. 30,000-100,000 and some return to Tanishq to repurchase gold.

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
Marketing Research GIDC ROFEL Business School
Page 11

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 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).
Marketing Research GIDC ROFEL Business School
Page 14
15. 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.
Marketing Research GIDC ROFEL Business School
Page 15
16. Buying behaviour of Gold
• 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.

PROBLEM
Marketing Research GIDC ROFEL Business School
Page 20
21. Buying behaviour of 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:
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.

23. 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.
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

Marketing Research GIDC ROFEL Business School
Page 25
26. Buying behaviour of Gold
A Sampling frame consists of a list of item
from which the sample is to be drawn.
The sample frame for this research constitutes
all the customers who have visited Tanishq store for
purchasing gold.
Sampling Unit:
A decision has to be taken concerning a
sampling unit before selecting sample sampling unit
may be a geographical one, a construction unit, a
social unit or it may be an individual.
The sample unit for this research constitutes
the organization that is Tanishq only dealer in vapi
Sample Size:
Marketing Research GIDC ROFEL Business School
Page 26
27. Buying behaviour of Gold
The sample size of our research was 150 but
only 121 people have visited tanishq store.
Sample Size Selection:
sample size was selected on the
basis of the 3 factors.
a) It was difficult to locate the customer
who have visited to tanishq.
b) The respondents were not much
educated so it was difficult to make them
understand about the questionnaire.
c) People were not easily available outside
Tanishq.

The research tool used for this research is
PRIMARY DATA
In primary data the following research design
is being followed:
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
Marketing Research GIDC ROFEL Business School
Page 29
30. Buying behaviour of Gold
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
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.
Marketing Research GIDC ROFEL Business School
Page 30
31. Buying behaviour of Gold
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
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
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.

The hypothesis of these question is that the Quality does not
effect the buying behavior of consumer that is Ho.
So from the calculation we got the value of H0 as 18.99311
So when compared to tabulated value of the number that is (r-

The value for the 16 is 26.3

So Ho<H1 so hypothesis is accepted.
So Quality does matter in buying gold.
3) Service does not affect buying behavior of consumer.

The hypothesis of these question is that the service does not

4) Pattern does not effect buying behavior of gold.
The hypothesis of these question is that the pattern does not
effect the buying behavior of consumer that is Ho.
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.

The hypothesis of these question is that the proximity does not
effect the buying behavior of consumer that is Ho.
So from the calculation we got the value of H0 as 21.21
So when compared to tabulated value of the number that is (r-

The value for the 16 is 26.3
So Ho<H1 so hypothesis is accepted.

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

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.

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.
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.
