  I am thrilled to announce my return to the captivating world of precious jewellery after a remarkable 14-year journey in the eyewear and watches category. I am delighted to share that I have embraced a new challenge as I spearhead the product design & development initiatives for Tanishq, located in the bustling city of Mumbai—the commercial, financial, and entertainment capital of India.Throughout my professional journey, I have been fortunate to witness the power of exquisite craftsmanship and the ability of intricately designed pieces to capture hearts and evoke emotions. My years of experience in the jewellery, eyewear and watches category have fostered a deep appreciation for the fusion of artistry, innovation, and timeless elegance that the jewellery industry embodies.As I re-join the jewellery business, I bring with me a fresh perspective, inspired by the diverse and ever-evolving world of eyewear and watches. I firmly believe that design is the true language of self-expression, and every piece of jewellery should tell a unique story, reflecting the wearer's personality and aspirations. With this ethos, I am thrilled to collaborate with the talented team at Tanishq, pushing boundaries and redefining the landscape of jewellery design.Mumbai, with its vibrant energy and multicultural essence, serves as an endless source of inspiration.
