Titan is the largest jewellery and watch company in India, a country that consumes more gold for jewellery than most countries in the world.

Titan, a part of the Tata Group, generates around $5 billion USD in revenue from jewelry, watches, eyecare, fragrances, fashion accessories, and Indian dress wear.

The Jewelry division is the largest contributor, making up nearly 80% of the business, followed by Watches and Wearables at 8-9%. Titan's products are sold through a combination of direct sales and franchising, with nearly 3,000 stores across over 400 towns in India, covering a retail space equivalent to about 60 football fields.
