Bollywood legend recently launched “The Golden Touch”, an autobiography of jewellery retail icon, T.S. Kalyanaraman.
The autobiography of the founder of Kalyan Jewellers is a personal account of a journey from humble beginnings in Thrissur to establishing one of the world’s largest jewellery chains.
The book captures an insightful perspective on embracing ambitious aspirations as well as thriving through an array of challenges with a pioneering mindset and disruptive attitude.
Amitabh Bachchan said, “I think, Swamy (TS Kalyanaraman) is for start-ups today, what Adi Shankaracharya was for Advait. The story of Kalyan Jewellers and the life of Swamy are quite simply inseparable.”
“It is a handbook for entrepreneurs who venture into the world of start-ups today, if only for the vision,the mission, the belief, the determination and the persistence required in some of the toughest conditions,” he added.
The autobiography offers an intimate glimpse into the challenges, triumphs, and values that shaped Kalyanaraman’s entrepreneurial voyage. It beautifully delves into his family’s business legacy since 1912 and the inception of brand Kalyan Jewellers.
T.S. Kalyanaraman said, “In ‘The Golden Touch’, my goal was to shed light on a journey of perseverance and grit, which has truly revolutionized India’s jewellery industry. Today, it is more crucial than ever for India Inc. to actively support and nurture the dreams of young entrepreneurs. The importance of entrepreneurship in India’s growth story cannot be overstated.”
“These budding minds, their innovative spirit and determination will play a pivotal role in shaping the trajectory of India’s progress and influence its standing on the global stage. I hope, my story inspires and empowers the next-gen entrepreneurs, who will become architects of our nation’s growth story”, he added.
