Managing Director

Mr. Kishore Jain, started gold jewellery business three decades ago in 1980 in Nellore in A.P. A disciplined businessman, he quickly made a name for trust and quality in Gold manufacturing and supplying. However, conquering Nellore was not enough for this ambitious young man. In 1989, he foresaw the opportunity in organized jewellery retail. He felt there was a latent consumer need for a combination of delightful shopping experience, value for money and quality. Other smaller retailers operating then had difficulty in matching customer expectations on quality, price and range. After a detailed study of jewellery markets in India and abroad, Mr.Jain decided to foray into Chennai with his first retail outlet at NSC Bose Road in 1989 that has grown into a leading jewellery retail chain in 2011 with 18 stores spread across South India. Mr. Kishore Jain not only hired the services of best professionals, external agencies & consultants to manage the operations but also augmented his personal knowledge in the areas which were critical for running and developing his chosen business. He paid attention to every minute detail in the business that had a bearing on the shopping experience. This ensured that the customers were always offered a delightful and unmatchable shopping experience at Khazana! Jewellery retail was considered an owner managed business (or at best family managed) in its nascent years. It was inconceivable then that the management of a retail outlet with so many valuables can actually be run by a team of professionals. Mr. Kishore Jain broke this myth, pioneering with a professionally managed outlet, and triggered a mini revolution in jewellery retail arena. The entire business is managed professionally. The departments are clearly demarcated and headed by a manager.
