Recently, apart from adding 60 stores (which would be a mix of World of Titan, Time Zone
and Sonata stores), the company is also planning to look at new formats, such as setting up
20 Fast Track kiosks in malls across the country. These kiosks are targeted to draw attention
of young consumers who usually walk into malls for window-shopping. This segment
normally doesn’t walk into a shop but walks around the mall.
The company has also experimented with an only women’s watch store, Raga Store, at the
Eva Mall (a women’s only mall) in Bangalore. If the concept works, the company looks to
open more such stores across the country
