Tanishq launches Gold Exchange, brand ambassador Sachin Tendulkar bats for self reliant India
Tanishq, the jewellery brand from the Tata Group, has launched one of India’s largest gold exchange drives with the support of cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar. The campaign urges households to recycle their existing gold and reduce the country’s dependence on imports.
India is estimated to hold nearly 25,000 tonnes of gold within households, while 99% of the country’s annual gold demand is met through imports. Tanishq aims to address this imbalance by encouraging families to exchange old jewellery for new designs, thereby unlocking value at the individual level while strengthening the national vision of self-reliance.
For the first time, the company has introduced a 0% deduction exchange offer across all karatages, including as low as 9 KT, valid until October 21, 2025.
Ajoy Chawla, CEO – Jewellery Division, Titan Company Limited, said, “Every gram of old locker gold exchanged not only brings personal joy but also contributes to reducing imports. With our first-ever 0% deduction offer, we are making it simpler for every Indian to be part of this nation-building effort.”
Over the years, more than 30 lakh customers have participated in Tanishq’s gold exchange programme, leading to the recycling of nearly 1.7 lakh kilos of gold. The initiative now contributes nearly 40% of the brand’s overall business.
Sachin Tendulkar, brand ambassador for the campaign, said, “Gold is deeply woven into Indian culture and passed down generations. Tanishq’s exchange initiative offers families a transparent and trustworthy way to renew this legacy while reducing India’s dependence on imports — which is a win for every Indian.”
With a presence across 500+ boutiques in over 300 cities, Tanishq continues to position itself as a trusted name in jewellery, combining craftsmanship, purity, and contemporary design with social impact initiatives like the gold exchange movement

Jagannath Gangaram Pednekar Jewellers Unveils ‘The Godhadi Effect’, A Heartfelt Film Reimagining Gold Exchange Through Family Memories
~ Starring Jitendra Joshi, Madhurani Gokhale, Sai Godbole, and Pradeep Welankar, the Marathi short film celebrates the emotions woven into family heirlooms while offering a fresh perspective on gold exchange ~
Indian heritage jewellery brand Jagannath Gangaram Pednekar (JGP) Jewellers has unveiled ‘The Godhadi Effect’, a heartfelt Marathi short film that explores the emotional bond families share with their jewellery while gently encouraging a fresh perspective on gold exchange.
Starring acclaimed Marathi actors Jitendra Joshi, Madhurani Gokhale, Sai Godbole and Pradeep Welankar, the film beautifully captures the relationships, memories and traditions that are often passed down through treasured pieces of jewellery. Inspired by the godhadi—a traditional quilt lovingly stitched together from cherished pieces of fabric—the story reflects how memories continue to live on across generations, even as they take new forms.
The film marks JGP Jewellers’ second storytelling-led campaign featuring the same ensemble cast, following its widely appreciated festive film, ‘The Result’, which celebrated equality in modern families. Through meaningful storytelling rooted in everyday life, the brand continues to create narratives that connect with audiences beyond jewellery.
At its heart, ‘The Godhadi Effect’ aims to create awareness around gold exchange by encouraging families to see their old jewellery not just as precious memories, but to create new ones.
Speaking about the initiative, Asavari Pednekar, Managing Director, Jagannath Gangaram Pednekar (JGP) Jewellers, said:
“Every piece of jewellery has a story – it reflects celebrations, relationships and memories that stay with us for generations. With ‘The Godhadi Effect’, we wanted to celebrate these emotions while encouraging families to look at gold exchange through a new lens. We hope the film resonates with families and inspires meaningful conversations around preserving both memories and value.” Our Brand Agency, ADbhoot, has conceptualized and developed this film.
With ‘The Godhadi Effect’, JGP Jewellers continues to reinforce its belief that jewellery is far more than an ornament. Through stories that celebrate everyday relationships and timeless values, the brand continues to strengthen its emotional connection with customers while remaining rooted in trust, craftsmanship and family traditions.
