For this episode of Stories of Bharat, we travelled to Jaipur to meet Gaurav Mehta, the founder of Jaipur Watch Company, and uncover the story behind one of India’s most unique luxury brands.
From facing rejection after rejection because people didn’t believe an Indian brand could build luxury watches, to creating a company that grew from an annual turnover of ₹1 crore to generating nearly ₹6 crore in monthly revenue, Gaurav’s journey is a powerful reminder of what conviction and perseverance can achieve.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
✨ How Gaurav Mehta built Jaipur Watch Company despite countless rejections.
⌚ How ancient coins and rare Indian stamps are transformed into luxury watches.
🎨 The complete journey of a watch—from concept and design to craftsmanship.

📈 How an Indian startup grew from an annual turnover of ₹1 crore to generating nearly ₹6 crore in monthly revenue.
🇮🇳 Why Jaipur Watch Company is redefining luxury and changing the way the world looks at Indian craftsmanship.
This episode is more than just the story of a watch company—it’s the story of an entrepreneur who believed in his vision when few others did, and of an Indian brand that’s redefining luxury on its own terms.
