The history of Ganjam dates back 400 years, when a group of merchants trading in precious stones are said to have migrated here from Ganjam district in Orissa. In 1942, Ganjam was appointed jeweller to the Maharaja of Mysore by a royal decree. Ganjam was also invited by the Maharaja of Nepal to train goldsmiths in his country and to design and make jewellery for the royal temple in Kathmandu.

Suresh Subrahmanyan, marketing consultant, Ganjam Nagappa & Son, says, “OMS will help Ganjam position itself distinctly in the luxury jewellery segment.”

VP Muralidharan, business director, South, Optimum Media Solutions, says, “Ganjam is known for its saliency. We will add value to the brand image as a whole with distinctive strategic inputs.”

The group will use mainly print, outdoor, below-the-line activities and event promotions such as fashion shows in its media plan.
