About Rajeev
Rajeev Sagar is a retail operations and franchise growth specialist with over 25 years of hands-on experience building and scaling jewellery and luxury retail businesses across India. He is best known for scaling TBZ from inception to 41 stores — designing the franchise model, onboarding franchisees, and building the operational governance layer that kept quality and profitability consistent across every location.
Beyond store count, he built the business from the ground up to over ₹100 Crore in revenue, and pioneered India's first bank-backed gold loan facility for a jewellery retailer — a financial product innovation that drove footfall, deepened customer loyalty, and created a new revenue stream that has since been widely replicated across the industry.
His advisory is particularly valuable for founder-led jewellery and luxury retail brands that are ready to move from owner-operated to a scalable franchise or multi-city model — and need someone who has personally navigated every stage of that transition, not just advised on it from the outside. He is a Specialist in Product Sourcing, Cost Mechanics, Design, Loose Diamond Sourcing, Gold Jewellery and all things Merchandising.
