SEGMENTATION• Niche Marketing

– After its inception in 1995 focus on exports, Tanishq's designs had been conceptualized for the Western markets and were introduced in India without any alterations. Tanishq positioned itself as an international brand for the Indian elite. The brand was targeted at a niche market (However they later on started targeting the mass marketing since 1997).

• Psychographic Segmentation– Life Style: Tanishq has found that 40% of the Indian women are working and

they targeted this segment with a specific group of products called collection-G, a 9-to-5 jewellery for the working women.

 • Geographical Segmentation

– Titan realized that, given the diverse nature of Indian ethnicity, it would have to satisfy the tastes of all regions. So, the designs became more ethnic. Titan also decided to transpose designs by stocking Bengali designs in Delhi, Keralite designs in Tamil Nadu and typical designs from Tamil Nadu in Bombay in order to appeal to a variety of people.
