Stepping Stones to Success

Bringing in the Brand Edge

The 90s were significant in more ways than one as the Luxor Group continued to thrive even in the face of fierce competition from large multinationals and leading international brands.

In a bid to ensure incremental growth, the Group choose to re-invent itself and opted for a three-pronged strategy including modernisation, exports expansion and tie-ups with coveted international brands. In 1990, an exclusive international business division (Luxor International) was set up to promote and sell the Luxor Brand far beyond Indian boundaries while the Group decided to bring under its umbrella some of the most famous foreign makes to serve a vast and quality-conscious Indian consumer base.

Positioned as premium lifestyle accessories instead of everyday utility item, the Parker & Waterman from the House of Luxor remain the preferred choice of the upwardly mobile. Celebrity endorsements were also sought to promote these high-end writing jewels, and legendary movie star, Amitabh Bachchan, was signed up as the Parker brand ambassador in 2000. Continuing its faith in celebrity endorsements Luxor signed up Bollywood Diva - Ms Deepika Padukone as brand Ambassador in 2011.

Newest member in its brand portfolio is Monte Viso – an exclusive collection of designer pens designed by world renowned designer Mr. David Ruderman and launched in 2014
