What to watch
- Chicago lease signing, store-opening date or further named US locations.

- Gold-price movements, US consumer-discretionary spending trends and jewellery-sector promotional intensity.
- Shift from company-owned stores toward franchise, joint-venture or shop-in-shop formats, which would indicate a faster capital-light rollout.
- Open or formally announce a Chicago location and identify additional diaspora-dense metros such as the Dallas-Fort Worth, Bay Area, Houston, Atlanta and Southern California markets.
- Localise assortment toward US bridal, gifting and everyday-wear demand while retaining Indian wedding and gold-jewellery authority.
- Build omnichannel capabilities including US e-commerce, virtual consultations, appointment booking, local fulfilment and wedding-event outreach.
- Increase marketing partnerships with Indian cultural events, wedding planners, community organisations and diaspora media, then test broader luxury and multicultural customer acquisition.
- Strengthen US sourcing, hallmarking, import, financing, insurance and repair/service infrastructure before accelerating store count.
