Tanishq strikes gold as India’s women champions sparkle in victory
MUMBAI: India hasn’t just lifted a trophy, it has struck gold in spirit, grit, and glory. And now, Tanishq has turned that golden moment into something even more precious, honouring the Indian women’s cricket team’s historic ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup triumph with a tribute rooted in the hearts and homes of the nation.
In a gesture as symbolic as the win itself, Tanishq has crafted special rings for every player using gold exchanged by families across India, transforming the emotional legacy of millions into a national salute for the women who carried the hopes of 1.4 billion people. It’s not merely jewellery, it’s a piece of India recast for its champions.
The Indian women’s team’s victory has ignited celebration across the country, marking a watershed moment for sport and for generations of girls who now have fresh heroes to look up to. Their performance embodied determination, composure, and courage qualities that have inspired admiration, pride, and an unmistakable shift in how India views women in sport.
For Tanishq, a brand that has long mirrored the stories, aspirations, and milestones of Indian women, the tribute fits seamlessly into its legacy. The rings represent not only celebration, but a continuation of the brand’s commitment to empower and uplift the journeys of women across the nation.
Titan Company Limited CEO for jewellery division Ajoy Chawla captured this sentiment, saying, “The Indian women’s cricket team has given the country a moment that will be remembered for generations. These rings from Tanishq are our way of honouring their spirit crafted from the recycled gold that lakhs of customers have exchanged with us. Each ring carries a piece of the country, just as the team carries the pride of the nation.”
The iconic gesture draws from Tanishq’s Gold Exchange Programme, which has transformed how India renews and revalues its jewellery. More than 1.8 lakh kilos of gold have been exchanged by 32 lakh customers across the country, making it one of the largest movements of trusted gold renewal. With 0 per cent deduction on exchange across any karat, even as low as 9KT, the programme ensures families can give old gold new life and now, that legacy shines on the fingers of India’s World Cup-winning heroes.
What began as a simple service has evolved into a nationwide movement. And in this moment of national pride, the movement has given India a powerful symbol: a ring forged from collective memory, collective trust, and collective celebration.
As the nation cheers its champions, the rings stand not just as a tribute, but as a reminder of how India in all its diversity, devotion, and emotion comes together to shine.

RR Kabel expands FMEG portfolio with kitchen appliances and air coolers
Company forays into mixers, cooktops and hand blenders under RR Signature brand.
MUMBAI: RR Kabel has just cooked up something new and it’s not just another wire. The leading wires and cables manufacturer has announced a significant expansion of its Fast-Moving Electrical Goods (FMEG) portfolio by entering the kitchen appliances segment and strengthening its air coolers range under the premium RR Signature brand. The company has introduced Mixer Grinders, Electric Cooktops (both Induction and Infra-Red variants), and Hand Blenders. These products mark RR Kabel’s strategic foray into everyday kitchen essentials, allowing it to reach deeper into Indian households beyond traditional electrical categories.
The Induction and Infra-Red Cooktops are seeing particularly strong demand amid global developments affecting LPG pricing and supply. Consumers are increasingly shifting to electric cooking for its energy efficiency, precise control, and safety features. RR Signature is reinforcing its ‘Aapke Kaam Ki Baat’ promise with best-in-class warranties across the range.
The company also plans to introduce additional kitchen appliance categories in FY26-27. In parallel, it has expanded its Air Cooler portfolio with new Industrial (Semi-Commercial) models featuring higher tank capacities and superior air throw, catering to both commercial users and households seeking powerful cooling during intensifying summers.
RR Kabel executive director Mahhesh Kabra said, “Our expansion into kitchen appliances allows us to connect with consumers at more touchpoints in their daily lives, while our expanded air cooler range addresses the rising need for effective cooling solutions. These launches reflect our continued focus on quality, innovation, and market relevance.”
By stepping into kitchen appliances and enhancing its cooling solutions, RR Kabel is wiring itself more deeply into Indian homes proving that even a cables company knows how to heat things up in the kitchen and keep things cool elsewhere. The move positions the brand for broader growth as it evolves from wires to a more complete home solutions player.
