Poster of Made in India- A Titan Story
Some stories build companies, some create legacies, and some quietly place nations on the world map. Amazon MX Player today unveiled the trailer of its upcoming series Made in India - A Titan Story, a compelling drama inspired by the extraordinary journey behind one of India's most iconic consumer brands.
Adapted from Titan - India's Most Successful Consumer Brand by Vinay Kamath, the series features an ensemble cast led by Naseeruddin Shah as J. R. D. Tata and Jim Sarbh as Xerxes Desai. The show also stars Vaibhav Tatwawadi, Namita Dubey, Lakshvir Saran, and Kaveri Seth in pivotal roles.
The series echoes the spirit of the Make in India initiative, which 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 transformed an unlikely idea into a national legacy.
Set in pre-liberalised India, at a time when the country stood on the brink of economic and social change, Made in India - A Titan Story traces the remarkable rise of Titan through the eyes of visionary businessman Xerxes Desai. The trailer offers a glimpse into a journey driven by ambition and unwavering belief, where a bold idea to build an Indian watch brand gradually 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. What began with timepieces eventually evolved into a legacy deeply woven into the country's identity.
Speaking about portraying JRD Tata, Naseeruddin Shah said, "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. 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."
Talking about playing Xerxes Desai, Jim Sarbh shared, "Xerxes Desai struck me as someone who was quietly rebellious, unafraid to challenge convention and imagine what didn't yet exist. While the series speaks about ambition and scale, at its core, it remains deeply human."
With one idea, countless setbacks, and a dream that would eventually leave its mark across generations, Made in India - A Titan Story is all set to premiere on June 3, 2026. The series will stream for free exclusively on Amazon MX Player across mobile devices, connected TVs, the Amazon shopping app, Prime Video, Fire TV, JioTV, and Airtel Xstream.
