  • The news of CaratLane's acquisition coincided with a disappointing quarterly report card from Titan.

    Titan, India's largest jewellery and watchmaker, posted weaker-than-expected profit in the fourth quarter.

    Net profit fell 14.4% to Rs. 184.11 crore in the March quarter. Sales fell 1.5% to Rs. 2,456.30 crore.

    The deal would give Titan access to new customers and design capabilities of CaratLane.
