PENGUIN TO DISPLAY THE EXTRAORDINARY JOURNEY OF KALYAN JEWELLERS, ONE OF INDIA’S LARGEST HOMEGROWN JEWELLERY BRANDS
MUMBAI, GPN, November 9, 2023: The Golden Touch, the autobiography of renowned businessman and Kalyan Jewellers founder T.S. Kalyanaraman, will be available for purchase throughout India by the end of November. It depicts the remarkable path of the 46-year-old man who launched his empire. Currently available for pre-order on e-commerce platforms, the book is published under the Penguin Business label by Penguin Random House India.
The Golden Touch tells the intimate story of the visionary who came from modest beginnings in Thrissur and built one of the biggest jewelry stores in the nation, a massive Rs 25,000 crore enterprise that employs over 8,000 people. It follows Kalyanaraman’s career as an entrepreneur, starting with the 1912 business legacy of his family and ending with his own experience with Kalyan Jewellers. He provides a comprehensive viewpoint on having the guts to pursue great dreams, conquering challenges, and creating a prosperous domestic company empire in a worldwide setting.
Expressing his thoughts, T.S. Kalyanaraman said, ‘Through The Golden Touch, I intended to unveil the essence of Kalyan Jewellers’ narrative. This autobiography reflects my journey and the perseverance intrinsic to Indian entrepreneurship. I hope that readers find inspiration in the story of a small-town dreamer turned entrepreneur. The Golden Touch stands as a testament to the limitless possibilities in the world of Indian enterprise.’
Radhika Marwah, Executive Editor, Penguin Random House India, said, ‘Kalyan Jewellers is a ubiquitous brand, synonymous with festivity and value. It is a great pleasure to bring out the fascinating journey of how this behemoth was built and helmed by the inspiring figure of Mr Kalyanaraman.’
