Stating that the Indian jewellery market is seeing a shift and is formalising, Titan said the trend is "favouring organised players". Titan operates in the segment through brands — Tanishq, Mia by Tanishq, Z and Caratlane.

According to the company, there is a "huge headroom in a geographically fragmented market", as it has only 6 percent market share of the Rs 4 lakh-crore market. The company said it has the ambition of its fashion jewellery Mia by Tanishq brand to clock over Rs 2,000-crore sales by FY25 from Rs 290 crore in FY22.
