The journey of Tanishq started with the launch of 18-karat gold watches studded with precious stones in 1994. But it soon grew into a 22K jeweller who presented a stunning range of gold and diamond jewellery. The term Tanishq was coined by Mr. Xerxes Desai by marrying the words ‘Tan’ meaning body and ‘Nishk’ meaning a gold ornament and Tanishq’s very first state-of-the-art jewellery factory with a proper karigaar park was set up in Hosur in Tamil Nadu.
