Change is a continuous process. The unexpected and unprecedented pandemic has accelerated the change process. It has also aggravated certain problems of the industry.

Watches and jewellery together contribute to more than 36% of the Indian luxury products.

Both these industries have been slow in adopting digitalisation as their foundation was built on brick and mortar model.  Proactive organizations have their digital strategy in place. Others have accelerated the process.

While the acceleration is a good development, the pandemic has aggravated certain issues and made life difficult for retailers. Those with too many physical stores or excess debt are in trouble.
 The way consumers perceive luxury has changed. Democratization of luxury has meant that luxury is not exclusive but inclusive. 

The traditional brick & mortar model is undergoing a transforming itself and moving from Omni channel to unified retail or new retail, a term coined by Alibaba.

In the context of marquee brands heritage is important. However, brands can no longer rest on their laurels and need to connect to today’s millennial and gen Z consumers by talking to them in their language.
