Risks and monitorables

• High dependence on jewellery & gold cycle: Jewellery contributes ~85% of revenue; prolonged gold price spikes or regulatory changes (e.g., import duties, hallmarking rules) could impact demand and margins.

• Flattish buyer growth: Management noted growth was led by higher ticket sizes, not customer additions; if macro slows or gold spikes further, high‑ticket purchases may soften.
• Smartwatch volume decline: ~27% YoY drop in smart wearables indicates competitive and maturing category; Titan must keep innovating to avoid losing young consumers to global brands.
• Premium valuation: Titan trades at rich multiples vs sector; any miss in future quarters or macro shock could trigger sharp de‑rating despite strong franchise.
• Execution in new categories/geographies: Aggressive expansion in international jewellery, Taneira and other emerging businesses carries execution and cost‑overrun risks.
