Strategic Initiatives Driving Growth

TBZ's strong performance is underpinned by a series of well-executed strategic initiatives. The company continued its festive campaign, "Tyohaar Matlab TBZ," as an integrated 360° marketing effort across various platforms, including press, outdoor, radio, digital, and CRM. This campaign, tailored for key festive moments like Dussehra, Diwali, and Dhanteras, included festive offers and an HDFC Bank instant discount program, significantly contributing to customer walk-ins. In Q3 FY26, the company recorded over 57,000 customer walk-ins, with 1.63 lakh+ walk-ins for 9M FY26, demonstrating effective customer engagement.

Following the festive season, TBZ pivoted to a new collection launch, "Dohra," positioned as a detachable, multi-use jewellery concept. This initiative aims to extend usage occasions and strengthen value perception, showcasing product-led differentiation and innovation. In December, with the onset of the wedding season, TBZ sharpened its bridal proposition through "Dohra - Detachable Bridal Jewellery," featuring regional brides of India and region-wise creative adaptations, which resonated strongly with customers.

Expanding Reach and Market Presence

TBZ's retail expansion strategy remains a key pillar of its growth. The company focuses on organic growth through its network of stores and judiciously expanding its retail footprint across India. In April 2025, TBZ added two new stores in Ahmedabad and Hyderabad, bringing its total store count to 37. This pan-India presence spans 27 cities across 13 states, with a retail space of over 100,000 sq. ft., allowing TBZ to increase its market share and attract new customers. The company's digital and social performance also saw significant traction, reaching over 5.4 million audiences on social platforms during the quarter, with Instagram community expanding to over 165,000 followers and video views exceeding 13 million, supported by creator-led distribution.

Outlook: Capitalizing on India's Growth Story

TBZ is strategically positioned to capitalize on India's exciting growth story. The gems and jewellery market contributes approximately 7.5% to India's GDP, and the expanding middle class, projected to grow from ~30% in 2021 to >60% by 2047, is expected to drive increased spending on luxury items. The overall market is projected to reach $119.80 billion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 8.34%. TBZ's diversified product portfolio, efficient gold metal loan sourcing, and strong financial performance position it well to leverage these market trends. The company's focus on consumer trust, industry benchmark practices, and resilient heritage further strengthens its competitive advantage, ensuring continued growth and expansion in the vibrant Indian jewellery market.
