Senco is gearing up for significant growth; plans to open 20 new stores this year
Senco Gold & Diamonds, one of India’s leading jewelry retailers, is gearing up for significant growth in the fiscal year 2025. The company has announced plans to open 20 new stores this year, aiming for a 20% increase in its topline revenue. This expansion is part of its broader strategy to maintain consistent annual growth while catering to rising consumer demand.These details were provided by Suvankar Sen, MD and CEO of Senco Gold & Diamonds, during an interview with CNBC TV18.
The company experienced a challenging start to FY25, with weak demand for diamond jewelry during the first three quarters due to high gold prices. However, the fourth quarter saw a revival, with increased sales of 14-carat and 18-carat diamond jewelry. Senco Gold also noted that silver sales outpaced both gold and diamonds in volume and value, as consumers increasingly view silver as an investment and gifting option.
Senco Gold has embraced innovation by launching dedicated lab-grown diamond jewelry stores under its sub-brand “Sennes.” According to Suvankar Sen, Managing Director and CEO of the company, lab-grown diamonds are gradually carving out their own market. The company expects these products to gain traction within the next two years, especially in the small-ticket segment catering to everyday wear.
The reduction in gold import duties by 9% provided temporary relief to customers but affected Senco’s profitability in Q2 and Q3. Despite this, the company expects profit margins to stabilize by the end of FY25.
In addition to domestic growth, Senco Gold has ventured into international markets by opening a store in Dubai. This move aligns with its strategy to cater not only to Indian expatriates but also to global consumers who appreciate handcrafted Indian jewelry. The company is also diversifying its product portfolio under the Sennes brand by introducing luxury lifestyle products such as leather bags.
Future Outlook
Suvankar Sen remains optimistic about the future, citing strong demand during wedding seasons and evolving consumer preferences for lightweight, versatile jewelry. The company is also focusing on digital services like virtual try-ons and personalized designs to appeal to younger, tech-savvy customers.

Every Day, A New Story: Mia By Tanishq Reimagines Billboard Advertising With Its ‘Precious, Every Day’ Calendar
The Brand Brings A Billboard That Turns A New Page Every Night To Bengaluru and Mumbai, Offering A Reminder That You Don’t Need To Wait For An Occasion To Wear Something Precious
What if a billboard had a new story to tell every single day? Mia by Tanishq, one of India’s leading contemporary fine jewellery brands, has transformed a billboard into a giant calendar that flips to a new page every night, each one pairing a new Mia piece with a line that finds something precious in that day of the week. The installation is on a 30-day run at the Domlur flyover gantry heading into Indiranagar in Bengaluru, following a week-long run on Mumbai’s Western Express Highway. At its heart is a simple insight: women often celebrate the people and milestones around them but hold back when it comes to celebrating themselves. Mia’s answer: you can be the occasion.
Last year, Mia’s calendar-themed billboard showcased a different jewellery piece in each date square. This edition takes the idea further. Each night, one of 30 calendar pages is physically turned to reveal a fresh line and a new Mia piece, while the Mia logo and ‘Precious, Every Day’ stay fixed. Commuters who pass the same stretch every morning find something new waiting for them.
The campaign reflects how jewellery has become an expression of mood and self-appreciation, not something kept only for gifting or festivities. A Monday page pairs Mia’s Blue Rhythm gold stud earrings, set with blue sapphires, with the line “The only Monday blues worth having,” turning the most dreaded day of the week into a playful one. Wednesday highlights personal victories with “Midweek? Stack your rings like your wins,” while Saturday encourages women to embrace the present with “Step out in the necklace you’ve been saving for ‘some’ day.” Each line starts with how a day already feels, from the Monday slump to the midweek push, and turns it into a reason to wear something precious.
Commenting on the campaign, Ajay Maurya, Head of Marketing and Category, Mia by Tanishq, said:
“More and more women are choosing jewellery for themselves, without waiting for a reason. These are not new behaviours we are trying to create, but everyday realities we are reflecting. A woman may simply feel good about herself and choose a piece of jewellery to mark it. With the ‘Precious, Every Day’ calendar, we wanted to bring that thought to the place where everyday life happens, the daily commute. A page that changes overnight gives people a small reason to look up, and a reminder that there is something precious in every day.”
With the ‘Precious, Every Day’ calendar, Mia by Tanishq turns a familiar outdoor format into a story told one page at a time, reminding women that the most precious moments are often the ones they choose for themselves. The activation was executed in partnership with Platinum Outdoor and Madison World.
