Tanishq: (Changing Jewelry Standards in India-The Story)
Tanishq is the iconic brand from the house of Tata (Titan) & when it’s Tata, quality is guaranteed. Tanishq was created with Tata/Tamil Nadu & Nishq. Than again, Tan = Body & Ishq = love.
Since it’s launched in 1994 thay have a strong connection with womanhood. They have the right mantra for Indian women as well as US & UK. In the earlier day’s when Indian economy was restricted by Govt. they have no choice but expand their business in overseas market; but in last few years things have changed rapidly and now they are Numero Uno (#1) in India.
They have set a whole new standard in branded jewelry in India as well as

Indian Fashion Trends: Indian Telecom Market & Idea Cellular (No Idea-Get Idea)
The telecom market in India is booming since 2006. Many major player’s success attracts many others to the market. In the early days when Indian Market was ruled by Airtel, Hutch and BSNL. Now anyone can find More than 10 brands on their area to offer them best possible services.
During 2010 only we have witnessed few new brand launched like: Uninor, Tata DoCoMo, Idea Cellular to Eastern part of India.
We can say the after so many new companies launched their services Indian Telecom market is overcrowded and consumers are not really happy with it. Almost each month a new service provider is coming to the market to offer more and more, which is not at all suitable for a stable competition.
After the 2G Spectrum scam by the Telecom Ministry, many major operators are facing troubles, they have their licences on their kitty but unable to expand that due to 2G scam trouble.
Many operators are attracting their customers by mind boggling Ads, some emotional attachments, or by humor. One of them is Idea Cellular. Undoubtedly they have the best social messages, One after another awesome TVC are coming from the house of Aditya Birla.
Check out this latest ad by Idea Cellular:
No doubt the ad has a message with humor. Their new “No Idea-Get Idea” is the latest campaign by the company. Earlier they have campaigns like “Walk when you talk” “Use mobile, Save Paper” and many more.
While Telecom Major Bharti Airtel focusing on re branding, Vodafone busy with ‘service offerings’, Idea is a real eye catcher with all kinds of Social Message related ads. Kudos to the creative team.

Indian Fashion Trends: Indian Media Re branding: Zee Sports turned into Ten Action Plus
India’s media Re-branding is taking it’s peak in last few years, we have seen the re-branding of Zee Teleflims (Logo & Channels), Star Networks (Logo), SET India (Changing all sister channels under same logo), now it’s time to change for India’s premier sports channel: Zee Sports.
Zee Sports brought Ten Sports’ majority stake from Dubai based Taj Television last year. After that they have brought exclusive telecast right of UEFA Champions League, I-League and many other major sports events.
But according to Zee Tele. it’s not all, they have more to offer. They have re-branded their Zee Sports to Ten Action+ on the eve of New Football season of Europe.
According to a source they have changed Zee Sports’ name and logo due to poor performance of Zee Sports across India. Ten Sports is already a veru popular youth oriented sports channel in India, due to WWE and it’s Cricket. So they have decided to change Zee Sports to Ten Action+ to give it a fresh look.Now Ten Sports’ only focus will be Cricket and other sports across the world & Ten Action+ will concentrate on World of Soccer.
Already they have the exclusive rights to telecast Spanish La Liga, Scottish Premier league, Dutch League, Uefa Champions League, Copa Europa, and 2010 Asian Games.
We can hope that all these events will boost their expansion across India.

Indian Fashion Trends: Innovate or Die! : An Overview with Latest Examples
If you are running your own business, then you must have heard a term called “EOD” Innovate or Die! it’s very much true for any kind of business, now a days even with professions. Think this way, what if we have to use the same old Microsoft OS invented in 1985 or even the old school telephone services! Scary??? yeah! sure it will be, but they have done the the most important thing…Innovation. The statement, ‘Innovate or Die’ is also appropriate for general people, we are keep changing, each day, each night. Each day we are learn something new, either by reading, watching TV, listening to music, surfing the internet or any other form.
Say for example, how many of us know that after the launched of Cisco watches to the market, luxury watch makers like Omega, Rolex were almost out of market, now the question arises, if they were out of market, how come they still running their business? Answer is simple, they Innovated new technique, designs, ways to market their products…
General public like us, wants innovation, to make our life better, smother & faster, that’s why we have 3G technology, or 100 Mbps broadband speed for our internet. The companies who provides us services keep innovating themselves because they know, if they don’t, some other company will take their place in no time.
If you are from India, then you might have heard the name of HMT Watches, though they are no more existing on the market now due to lack of innovation!
Latest example: No matter where are we from, we all know the name WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment), they are the #1 weekly running TV show in the history! but few weeks back on a press release, they have said that, their (WWE RAW) TRP has become lowest in almost 15 years! Why! Answer is simple lack of innovation. While Monday night Raw is on air, Monday night football or other entertainment programs are going on which are attracting more and more people towards them just because they are more innovative. After WWE realized they have lack of innovation, they have done WWE Monday night Raw Old School, and other interesting matches to promote their show, are they successful? Time will tell.
On the conclusion part, i just want to share, no matter if you are running a business or not, keep remember one thing, “Innovate or Die!” Either you have to be innovative or you have to die! Choice is yours!
