“Remember, true luxury lies in the whispers of elegance, the rarity of craftsmanship, and the allure of exclusivity.”

Background:

As a marketing consultant and coach at Strateji Consulting Group, I embarked on a transformative journey to position Gautam Banerjee Jewelry (GBJ) as a beacon of “quiet luxury.” With GBJ’s meticulously crafted single-piece designer jewelry and a discerning target audience in mind, I set out to elevate the brand’s identity and create a unique space in the luxury market. Drawing on my qualifications, experience, and certifications from Stanford and IIM Indore, along with running a successful marketing agency since 2006, I was ready to tackle the challenges that lay ahead.
