All about Made in India
Producer Prabhleen Sandhu is working with writer Karan Vyas and director Robby Grewal of Almighty Motion Picture on this series. The purpose behind the making of Made in India is to document J.R.D. Tata's life and work by following his impact on Indian business, aviation, and innovation.
Titan: Inside India's Most Successful Consumer Brand written by Vinay Kamath, is the basis for the six-part series. The show follows Titan as it develops from a daring concept to a national icon beginning in the 1980s. The development of the slimmest watch ever made and an homage to JRD Tata's guiding principles are two notable achievements.
