T.S. Kalyanaraman, Chairman and Managing Director of Kalyan Jewellers said, ‘’We have registered a healthy double digit growth rate in our business in the GCC and believe that the Qatar presence is critical for us to push the GCC share of the group turnover to the 40 per cent mark, which is our medium-term target. Qatar is a robust retail market of USD 12.4 Billion, driven by a growing population and an increasing expatriate population.
We also believe that the country’s affinity for luxury goods makes it a compelling proposition for Kalyan, given our strong portfolio of high-end fashion jewellery as well as jewellery
for daily wear in contemporary and traditional motifs.’’
‘’Qatar’s focus on expanding the non-hydrocarbon sector and recent infrastructure initiatives to add one million square meters of retail space in the next two to three years augurs well for the growth of the retail sector,’’ Kalyanaraman added.
