In 2005-06, the “Atoot Jod” campaign followed with the “Joy of Building” and “SD Man” campaign launched in 2012 and 2017 respectively were the most successful campaigns from the brand.
Since its inception, Tata Tiscon has been a pioneer in many product and service innovations. It reshaped the category by being the first rebar brand to be sold on e-commerce platforms in 2015. With its customer-first approach, innovative products, and continuous nurturing of its distribution channel, Tata Tiscon has emerged as a market leader. It is the first rebar brand to introduce customer service engineer service and digital platform, Sampoorna, for channel partners.
Over the last 20 years, Tata Tiscon focused on building credibility and highlighted the importance of pure steel for home building. With its wide range of rebars, it has ensured that all the customer segments are catered to in an effective way. With a well-established network of more than 6500 dealers, Tata Tiscon sells across the length and breadth of the country and enjoys a prominent market share.
Tata Tiscon has introduced several breakthrough innovations in retail ecosystem like selling by piece, transparency in pricing through RCP (Recommended Consumer Price) and innovative Products like Superlinks (machine made stirrups) which enhanced quality of construction & changed the landscape of Individual Home Builders (IHB) construction. The brand is also credited with many firsts – being the first brand to offer life insurance cover for the under-insured community or creating a loyalty programme ‘Atoot Rishtey’ for the dealers and MITR programme for the masons.
