Nirupesh B. Joshi, Co-Founder of Bangalore Watch Company, One of India’s Fastest-Growing Watch Brands
Nirupesh B. Joshi, co-founder of Bangalore Watch Company, has transitioned from a corporate consulting background into the watchmaking industry, driven by a desire to create a modern Indian watch brand that reflects contemporary narratives. Since its inception, the company has focused on high-quality craftsmanship and innovative themes such as space exploration and aviation, appealing to both domestic and international markets. With 35% of customers located outside India, the brand has gained recognition for its unique storytelling and design, resonating with a global audience. In recent years, Bangalore Watch Company has made significant advancements, including the development of proprietary materials and in-house assembly operations in Bangalore. The opening of a flagship boutique marks a new chapter for the brand, allowing for enhanced customer experiences and community engagement. As the watch industry faces challenges, Joshi sees opportunities for smaller brands to thrive through authenticity and unique narratives, aiming to grow internationally while maintaining direct relationships with customers and collectors.
