What We Do

We open and run stores for the brands people trust, and we invest in the businesses and land that will matter for decades. From one Tanishq showroom in Jamshedpur in 2001, the group now operates more than 20 showrooms in East India and two flagship stores in the United States.

Retail at the Core, Brands and Land Around It

Our team knows what it takes to open a store in a new market and run it to the brand's own standard: site, fit-out, hiring, training and daily operations. The same discipline guides how we invest.
