Hi all,


Hope you had a brilliant festive season (thus far)!


As per Interbrand’s latest brand rankings, Apple continues to hold the number one position for the tenth consecutive year! Microsoft has moved up into second place, overtaking Amazon. Also, the United States may start losing talented H1-B visa holders to Canada, as per a study conducted by National Foundation for American Policy.


In other news, Amit Jain, the Co-Founder and CEO of CarDekho replaces Ashneer Grover in 'Shark Tank India' season 2. Amit, an alumnus of IIT Delhi claims CarDekho to be valued at $1.2 billion! More power to Indian businesses and brands!


We at Laqshya have been privileged to execute numerous prominent campaigns. Among these, we are pleased to showcase the work Inventech did for Tanishq. Tanishq unveiled the first-of-its-kind immersive experience zone at Palladium Mall, Velachery in Chennai. “Our Chozha collection is an interpretation of the glorious history into finely crafted jewelry for the modern Indian woman. You can experience the grandeur of the Chohza dynasty and the deep design stories that have inspired beautiful first-of-its-kind jewelry that is befitting for the Pudhumai Penn of Tamil Nadu,” said Ranjani Krishnaswamy, GM-Marketing, Tanishq, Titan Company Limited.
