Tanishq, Tata's Titan jewelry brand, opened its first US store in New Jersey's Little India, calling America a huge opportunity driven by the Indian diaspora. It plans to expand to Chicago and paves the way for other Indian retail brands.

Why this matters

Tanishq's New Jersey debut marks its US entry and diaspora-led strategy, with Chicago flagged next. The brand urges other Indian retailers to follow into the $60B North American jewelry market.

Store-opening activity is steady with 796 signals in the past 90 days.
