How Kalyan Jewellers Became a Rs 75,000 Crore Business

T.S. Kalyanaraman, whose grandfather served as a temple priest and whose father ran a clothing store, has built a business valued at ₹75,000 crore. From modest beginnings, Kalyan Jewellers now boasts 250 showrooms across India and 30 in the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, and Oman. Kalyanaraman is now eyeing expansion into the United States. Here’s a look at his inspiring success story.

Early Life and Inspiration

Kalyanaraman’s entrepreneurial journey began in 1993 when he opened the first Kalyan Jewellers showroom on a small street in Thrissur, Kerala. Growing up, he often accompanied his father, T.R. Seetharamaiyer, to the local temple, where his grandfather worked as a priest. Inspired by his father’s success in the clothing business, which flourished despite initial opposition from his grandfather, Kalyanaraman aspired to carve his own path in the jewelry sector.

Establishing Kalyan Jewellers

After earning a degree in commerce from Sri Kerala Varma College and helping his father in the family business from the age of 12, Kalyanaraman decided to venture into jewelry. He saw a gap in the market for transparency and customer options in Thrissur, particularly as the family’s clothing store was surrounded by jewelry shops.

To fund his dream, Kalyanaraman used his savings of ₹25 lakh and secured a ₹50 lakh loan. This ₹75 lakh investment led to the opening of Kalyan Jewellers’ first showroom, which offered a broader range of jewelry and a superior shopping experience, setting the stage for the brand’s success.

Strategic Expansion

After the success of the first showroom, Kalyanaraman opened a second location in Palakkad. However, he quickly encountered different consumer behavior compared to Thrissur. To address this challenge, he sent his son, Ramesh Kalyanaraman, to analyze the market. Ramesh’s findings allowed them to tailor services to better meet local customer preferences.

Recognition and Achievements

Recently, Kalyan Jewellers earned the ‘Great Place to Work’ certification, a testament to its workplace culture. The company now has a market capitalization exceeding ₹75,000 crore.

Kalyanaraman’s Wealth

As per Forbes’ real-time billionaires list, T.S. Kalyanaraman’s net worth stands at an impressive ₹45,397,49,29,020.

Hyperlocal Strategy

Kalyanaraman’s experiences in Palakkad inspired him to adopt a hyperlocal approach for each new store. A dedicated team conducts thorough research into local traditions and customer preferences before launching a new showroom. This strategy involves crafting jewelry designs that reflect regional culture and hiring from the local workforce to better understand customs and needs. Additionally, Kalyan Jewellers carefully selects brand ambassadors who resonate with the diverse Indian population, reinforcing its commitment to customer satisfaction.

Kalyan Jewellers has successfully established itself as a trusted household name in India, thanks to its customer-centric approach and dedication to quality.
