Akshaya Tritiya, celebrated as an auspicious day to invest in gold, often sees a surge in gold purchases across India. But in 2025, with gold prices touching all-time highs, the big question for investors and buyers alike is: Is it wise to buy gold this Akshaya Tritiya?

Over the last 20 years, gold has delivered approx.15% CAGR, which is quite robust, especially in comparison with many fixed-income instruments and even some equity segments during market volatility. Gold has also acted as a hedge against inflation, currency depreciation, and geopolitical uncertainties.

 

Why Gold Has Performed Well

Several factors have supported gold prices in recent years:

  • Geopolitical tensions: Russia-Ukraine war, Israel-Palestine unrest, and US-China trade concerns.
  • Inflation worries: Gold is a traditional inflation hedge.
  • Global economic uncertainty: Fears of a recession and a weak global economic outlook.
  • Central bank buying: Many countries, including India and China, have increased gold reserves.
  • Currency depreciation: The weakening of the Indian Rupee against the US Dollar added to local gold price inflation.

Why You Should Consider Buying

  • Tradition with benefits: Buying gold on Akshaya Tritiya is culturally symbolic and has proven profitable historically.
  • Diversification: Gold acts as a portfolio stabilizer, especially during market downturns.
  • Returns remain promising: With global uncertainties continuing and rate cuts expected in the US, gold may remain supported in the near term.
  • Demand for digital and investment-grade gold is rising: More buyers are shifting toward efficient, value-oriented gold investments.

Caution Due to High Prices

  • Gold prices are near historical highs (₹96,000 per 10 grams), so bulk buying may not be advisable.
  • A correction could occur if:
    • US-China tensions ease.
    • Interest rates rise unexpectedly.
    • Investors shift their focus back to risk assets like equities.

Smart Buying Strategy for 2025

Buy with a measured and strategic approach:

  1. Avoid large lump sum purchases: Instead, opt for staggered buying or SIPs in gold digital gold or ETFs.
  2. Use Akshaya Tritiya as an entry point: Start small with Augmont Digital Gold or gold mutual funds.
  3. Buy coins or smaller jewellery pieces: Avoid heavy making charges; focus on purity and resale value.
  4. Think long term: If you’re buying gold as an asset, not just a purchase, stay invested for 3–5 years.

Final Word

Akshaya Tritiya 2025 presents an opportunity to align tradition with smart investing. While prices are high, gold’s long-term track record, safe-haven status, and cultural relevance make it a viable addition to your portfolio. Just remember to balance emotional purchases with financial prudence—and consider buying in forms that add both value and flexibility.

In short: Yes, buy gold—but buy smart.

  • The campaign brings alive the true meaning of Akshaya Tritiya through a warm, family-led narrative.
  • The brand ramps up efforts for Akshaya Tritiya, a key occasion contributing ~15–18% of its annual revenue
  • To echo the campaign’s celebration of small occasion-led purchases, the brand has rolled out curated, attractive festive offers for customers.

KISNA Diamond and Gold Jewellery has unveiled its latest campaign, ‘Khushiyon Mein Nivesh’, ahead of Akshaya Tritiya, capturing the deeper cultural significance of the festival through a simple, heartfelt story. Designed as a slice-of-life narrative, the film follows a child’s innocent quest to understand the meaning of “Akshaya”, using a family setting to bring out the emotion and significance of the occasion.  The campaign’s theme seamlessly aligns with Kisna’s larger narrative of ‘Khushi ke har pal ke liye Kisna’, reinforcing its commitment to being a part of every joyous moment


About the campaign

The film opens in a warm home on the morning of Akshaya Tritiya, where a young girl curiously asks her grandmother, “Dadi… Akshaya Tritiya kya hota hai?” With gentle wisdom, the grandmother explains, “Akshaya ka matlab hota hai beta… jo kabhi khatam nahi hota… jo hamesha badhta hai.” Still puzzled, the child innocently questions, “Par car to kuch saalon mein purani ho jati hai na… phir wo Akshaya kaise?” Her curiosity sets the tone, carrying into a playful exchange with her father, who hints at a surprise to be revealed later that evening. This builds anticipation as the family steps out together, the child eagerly soaking in the moment.

The story unfolds at a KISNA showroom, where intimate family moments capture the essence of togetherness and discovery. As they explore jewellery, the father gently explains, “Hum invest karte hain khushiyon mein… ye wo khushiyan hain jinki value hamesha badhti hai.” The idea resonates as the child offers her coin, wanting to contribute to this shared happiness. The film closes back at home, where she is surprised with a delicate pendant, her face lighting up as she softly says, “Akshaya!” Ending on an emotional high, the narrative leaves viewers with a simple, enduring thought: “Iss Akshaya Tritiya… invest karein khushiyon mein.”

The campaign features actor Paritosh Tripathi in a key role, alongside a cast of seasoned television actors, bringing relatability and authenticity to the narrative.

“At KISNA, we believe jewellery is deeply connected to emotions and the moments people hold close. With ‘Khushiyon Mein Nivesh’, we wanted to tell a story that feels real and relatable, especially through a child’s perspective. The campaign captures how true value lies in happiness that continues to grow, making jewellery a meaningful part of that journey. Akshaya Tritiya remains one of the most significant occasions for us, contributing nearly 15–18% to our annual revenue, and continues to play a key role in driving consumer engagement and overall business performance.”
