Overview
For over three decades, Sunita Shekhawat has been redefining the art of Meenakari — Jaipur’s intricate enamel work — into global luxury. Known for heritage bridal jewelry, high jewelry collections, and objets d’art, the brand has earned a place in Vogue, The New York Times, and among India’s most discerning collectors.
But in 2025, high-value buyers started seeking purchase advice not from Google, but from AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity. At baseline, Sunita Shekhawat’s presence in these AI answers was minimal. In six weeks, we helped the brand dominate AI Share of Voice, transforming visibility into measurable leads.
