A peek into a storming conversation.
The conversation started with Avnish sharing his journey from the creation of CaratLane to where it stands today. It happened 13 years ago, when his former partner in business and founder of the company, Mithun Sacheti saw a tremendous force exerted by the growing technology which was about to pummel the jewelry industry. That’s where it all started. The company was built on the fundamentals that would look at problems which could be addressed.
In addition to being warmly welcomed by the Indian population, the company has hit the right spot and was off to a great start.
As the conversation progressed, Avnish explained to us how CaratLane changed the way jewellery was bought in the country. In a context where jewellery is bought on special occasions, that also costs a fortune. CaratLane was able to address this loop with an affordable line of jewellery, befitting to buyers of all big & small occasions. It is because occasions aren’t just festivals or marriages, they are also found in the simpler things in life, like your children acquiring their first job or finally getting a seat in a top university.
“There is always an opportunity if you are more agile, hustle a little harder than everybody else”.
The company is known for its consumer-driven development, adding to its own capabilities to address the issues in the market. As the conversation started to reach its impeccable end, Avnish shifted our thoughts on the idea of virtual reality, where he felt there is an immense joy of just looking at the jewellry which can’t be felt anywhere else, nor can be replicated. He believes “Technology hasn’t reached a level, where it can give you an awesome experience today”. From recovering in a falling economy to competing with international brands, this conversation covers it all.
