Some stories build companies, some create legacies, and some quietly place nations on the world map. This story is presented in Amazon MX Player’ Made in India – A Titan Story. The upcoming series Made in India – A Titan Story, is a compelling drama inspired by the extraordinary journey behind one of India’s most iconic consumer brands. Adapted from Vinay Kamath’s acclaimed book Titan – India’s Most Successful Consumer Brand, the series boasts an extraordinary ensemble led by Naseeruddin Shah as JRD Tata, Jim Sarbh as Xerxes Desai, alongside Vaibhav Tatwawadi, Namita Dubey, Lakshvir Saran, and Kaveri Seth in pivotal roles.
The trailer has just been unveiled and we have your first look of the series set in pre-liberalised India. The series resonates with the spirit of the Make in India initiative, that aims to transform India into a global design and manufacturing hub. Written by Karan Vyas, directed by Robbie Grewal, and produced by Almighty Motion Pictures, the six-part series explores ambition, mentorship, and the relentless pursuit of excellence that turned an unlikely idea into a national legacy.
Made in India: A Titan Story traces the remarkable rise of Titan through the eyes of visionary businessman Xerxes Desai. The trailer offers a powerful glimpse into a journey driven by ambition and unwavering belief, where a bold idea to build an Indian watch brand slowly transforms into something far greater. As resistance mounts and uncertainty looms large, Xerxes Desai and JRD Tata remain steadfast in their belief that India could create something of its own. From an idea that began with timepieces led to a legacy that became part of the country’s identity.
Naseeruddin Shah, who essays the role of JRD Tata, added, “What fascinated me about JRD Tata was not just his vision, but the quiet confidence with which he inspired people to dream bigger than they thought possible. He had an extraordinary ability to spot potential and nurture it with trust, something that feels increasingly rare. Made in India: A Titan Story is not merely about building a brand; it is about people, belief, and the courage to back an idea when success is still uncertain. Portraying JRD Tata and collaborating with Amazon MX Player on a story of this depth and legacy has been immensely rewarding, and I’m looking forward to audiences experiencing this journey.”
Speaking about portraying Xerxes Desai, Jim Sarbh shared, “Xerxes Desai struck me as someone who was quietly rebellious, someone unafraid to challenge convention and imagine what didn’t yet exist. What I love about Made in India: A Titan Story is that while it speaks of ambition and scale, at its core, it’s deeply human, about persistence, instinct, and believing in an idea long before anyone else does. Playing Xerxes and partnering with Amazon MX Player on a story so layered and inspiring has been incredibly exciting, and I can’t wait for audiences to discover this world.”
